As the price of electricity is rising and the importance of the use of renewable energy is being felt, rooftop solar power is one of the most popular options for Indian consumers. The reason why solar power is becoming even more affordable and popular is the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).

In the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, a scheme to provide energy subsidies.

What is the MNRE Rooftop Solar Subsidy?

Solar rooftop power systems can be installed with the help of Central Financial Assistance (CFA) from MNRE. This material helps to reduce the cost, making solar power available to middle-class families and small commercial establishments.

Subsidy Highlights (As of 2024-25): Residential systems ranging from 3 to 10 kW can get a subsidy of up to Rs 78,000. Available from empaneled dealers such as Bodhie Solar (MNRE Empanelled). The amount is transferred to the beneficiary’s bank account after the installation of the solar system.

How MNRE Subsidies Changed the Game

1. Lower upfront investment :
2. Lower the initial cost by 30-50%, making it more attractive for homeowners and small businesses to switch to solar.

2. Faster Return-on-Investment :
3. With the subsidy, most rooftop solar systems will pay for themselves in 3-5 years, after which the energy is virtually free.

3. Increases Energy Independence :
4. Homes can produce their own energy and thus become less dependent on the grid grid electricity or diesel generators.

4. Ensures Quality Installations :
5. Only MNRE-approved suppliers and materials are considered. This ensures that quality standards are met and performance is guaranteed.
