With rising electricity costs and increasing awareness of renewable energy, rooftop solar has become a top choice for Indian households and businesses. What truly makes solar affordable and widespread 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 systems can be installed with Central Financial Assistance (CFA) from MNRE. This substance reduses the upfront cost, making solar power accessible to middle-class families And small commercial users.

Subsidy Highlights (As of 2024-25): Residential systems between 3 and 10 kW are eligible for up to Rs 78,000 in grant funding. Available through registered vendors like Bodhie Solar (MNRE Empanelled). After installation, funds are disbursed directly to beneficiary bank accounts.

How MNRE Subsidies Changed the Game

1. Lower upfront investment : Reduce the initial burden by 30–50%, encouraging homeowners and small businesses to go solar.

2. Faster Return-on-Investment : With subsidy support, most rooftop systems pay for Themselves in 3–5 years, after which the power is essentially free.

3. Boosts Energy Independence : It is possible for homes to generate their own energy and reduce their dependency on the grid grid electricity or diesel generators.

4. Promotes Quality Installations : Only MNRE-approved vendors and components are eligible. Ensuring high-quality standards and performance guarantees.

5. Supporting India’s Clean Energy Goals : By reducing cost barriers, subsidies help India move faster Toward its target of 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030.
