Request a call backHow to apply for the PM Surya Ghar subsidy?
Apply for rooftop solar
Submit your roof details and the system size you want. We survey your roof first so you apply for the right size.
Choose a registered vendor
Select an MNRE / National Portal registered installer — like AmPrisia — for the site survey, design and installation.
Get your system installed
We install with DCR-compliant, ALMM-listed modules and certified inverters and structures — the components the scheme requires.
DISCOM inspection & net meter
Your DISCOM inspects the installation and fits a bidirectional (net) meter so exported power is credited.
Submit the commissioning certificate
We upload the commissioning report and your bank details on the portal — this is what triggers the subsidy.
Subsidy credited to your bank
The central subsidy is transferred to your account, typically within 30–45 days of commissioning.
Track your application
After logging in at pmsuryaghar.gov.in you can follow your application at every stage — from registration and feasibility approval to installation, inspection and subsidy credit. We keep you posted at each step as well.
Open the National PortalThings to keep in mind while going solar
Make an informed decision — the five factors every homeowner should check before installing rooftop solar.
- 1Check your electricity bill1 kW generates roughly 1,300–1,450 units a year. Size the system to your consumption, not the maximum subsidy.
- 2Check your sanctioned loadSolar capacity can’t exceed your sanctioned load — but the load can be enhanced with your DISCOM if needed.
- 3Shadow-free roofAbout 80–100 sq ft of unshaded roof per kW. Water tanks, parapets and trees all matter.
- 4Verify component qualityALMM-listed DCR modules, a reputed inverter, proper DC cables and earthing — ask for the datasheets.
- 5Structure & installationWind-rated, rust-proof mounting, chemical anchoring and waterproofing protect your roof for 25 years.

Finance that fitsHelp with collateral-free solar loans; once the subsidy lands it offsets the principal and your EMI drops.Frequently asked questions
GeneralWhat is the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?
It is the Government of India’s flagship rooftop solar scheme, launched in February 2024. Eligible households get a central subsidy of up to ₹78,000, paid directly into their bank account after the system is installed and commissioned.
Can I get the subsidy if I live in an apartment?
The household subsidy is meant for homes with their own roof. Flat owners cannot apply individually, but a housing society or RWA can apply for a shared system on common facilities (lifts, pumps, lighting) at ₹18,000 per kW, subject to DISCOM rules.
How long does it take to receive the subsidy?
Typically 30–45 days after the commissioning certificate is uploaded on the National Portal. Timelines vary a little by state and DISCOM.
Can I take a loan along with the subsidy?
Yes. Nationalised banks and NBFCs offer collateral-free solar loans at concessional rates for systems up to 3 kW. Once the subsidy is credited it is adjusted against the loan principal, which brings your EMI down.
What if my DISCOM rejects the application?
Rejections are usually down to a wrong consumer number, a name or document mismatch, a technical feasibility issue or a sanctioned-load condition. We pre-check every application before it goes in, and if anything is flagged we fix it and resubmit for you.
Is the subsidy taxable?
No. The subsidy is a direct benefit transfer and is not treated as taxable income for residential households under current rules.
Which solar panels qualify under PM Surya Ghar?
Only modules on MNRE’s Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) that meet the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR). Every system we install under the scheme uses DCR-compliant, ALMM-listed modules.
What is the ‘give-up subsidy’ option?
Households that don’t need the subsidy can choose to forgo it on the portal and still install through the scheme’s net-metering route. Some people do this to skip the subsidy paperwork.
Till what stage can I change the give-up option?
Generally until the vendor is finalised and work begins. We flag this decision point clearly before anything is locked in.
Who fills in the installation details — me or the vendor?
The vendor. We enter the installation and commissioning data on the National Portal on your behalf and keep you posted at each stage.
How much capacity can a housing society or RWA apply for?
Shared systems for common facilities are generally allowed up to 500 kW collectively (calculated at 3 kW per flat), based on DISCOM norms.
What is the maximum subsidy for households and for RWAs?
Households: up to ₹78,000 for a 3 kW or larger system. RWAs and group housing societies: ₹18,000 per kW on common-facility systems, up to 500 kW.
Can I change the proposed system size after submitting the application?
Yes, usually before the DISCOM’s feasibility approval, through a modification request on the portal. We handle the change if your survey suggests a different size.
Is a loan available for both households and RWAs?
Yes. Financing options exist for both categories, and we help you compare them against a straight purchase.
Are panels verified on the portal for domestic content (DCR)?
Yes. The portal checks the ALMM/DCR status of the cells and modules before the subsidy is released — which is why using the right components matters.
Why do PM Surya Ghar applications get rejected?
Most rejections are avoidable: keep your name and details identical across Aadhaar, electricity bill and bank records; use the correct consumer number and DISCOM; make sure the installer is registered on the portal; and give an accurate, Aadhaar-linked bank account.
