Subsidy Questions, Answered
Who is eligible for the residential solar subsidy?
Indian households with a valid electricity connection and suitable rooftop space are generally eligible under the PM Surya Ghar scheme. We confirm your eligibility during the free consultation.
How long does the subsidy take to arrive?
After installation, inspection and net-meter commissioning, the subsidy is typically credited to your bank account within a few weeks, subject to DISCOM processing.
Do commercial and industrial systems get subsidies?
The PM Surya Ghar subsidy is for residential rooftops. Commercial and industrial customers benefit from accelerated depreciation, net metering and strong ROI rather than direct subsidy.
