Under PM Surya Ghar you get ₹30,000 for 1 kW, ₹60,000 for 2 kW, and a maximum of ₹78,000 for 3 kW or more.
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (MNRE) provides a central subsidy on residential rooftop solar: ₹30,000 for 1 kW, ₹60,000 for 2 kW, and ₹78,000 (maximum cap) for 3 kW and above. The subsidy is credited directly to your bank account within 30-45 days of commissioning. Rajasthan residents also get an additional ₹17,000 state top-up via RREC.
Q.What is the cost of a 3 kW solar system in India (2026)?
