What is PM Surya Ghar?
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a Government of India programme focused on rooftop solar for eligible residential electricity consumers. Scheme conditions, approved equipment requirements, application steps and financial assistance can change, so homeowners should use the official programme portal and their electricity distribution company for current information.
Understand the application journey
Applicants generally need to review the current eligibility and registration instructions, submit the requested consumer and connection information, select an eligible vendor where required, and complete installation and inspection steps in the prescribed order. Follow the official portal's process rather than relying on unofficial messages or promises.
Verify current subsidy information
Do not assume a fixed subsidy amount, timeline or approval outcome. Check current central and state guidance, eligible system capacity, documentation, commissioning and claim requirements directly with the official sources. Keep copies of application references, invoices, approvals and inspection records.
Plan the rooftop system carefully
Scheme participation does not replace a sound technical assessment. Confirm roof suitability, electricity use, system design, safety protections, equipment documentation, installer credentials and after-sales support. Review the written quotation and responsibilities before signing or making payments.
