What Are Solar Subsidies?
Solar subsidies are financial benefits provided by the Government of India to help homeowners and housing societies reduce the initial cost of installing solar panels. Through the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, the government aims to make clean energy adoption affordable and accessible to every Indian household.
The scheme offers a direct subsidy ranging from ₹30,000 to ₹78,000, depending on the solar system’s capacity. This financial support has encouraged millions of families to switch to solar energy — over 1 crore registrations have already been made across India, marking a major step toward energy independence and sustainability.
At ARKS INTERNATIONAL, we help homeowners leverage these subsidy benefits with a hassle-free, transparent, and guided process — from application to installation and verification.
The Solar Panel Subsidy Scheme is designed to reduce up to ₹78,000 of your total solar installation cost. It’s primarily targeted at middle- and lower-income households who wish to enjoy the benefits of renewable power while saving big on monthly electricity bills — often up to ₹15,000 annually.
Here’s how the process works:
System Installation: Once your rooftop solar system is installed and connected to the grid, Ark’s team ensures compliance with all DISCOM requirements.
Verification: After inspection and commissioning by the local DISCOM, your system is approved for subsidy disbursement.
Direct Bank Transfer: Within 30 days, the approved subsidy amount is credited directly to your bank account.
In addition, under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, households can enjoy up to 300 units of free electricity per month. With on-grid net metering, any surplus energy your solar system produces can be exported back to the grid — earning you credits or discounts on your future bills.
This initiative is not just about savings; it’s a long-term investment in clean energy. With a 25-year lifespan, your solar system continues to generate free power long after your initial cost is recovered — making it one of the smartest home upgrades you can make today.
