Check your subsidy
How the subsidy actually works
01. It's capacity-based, not bill-based
₹30,000 per kW for your first 2kW, then ₹18,000 for the 3rd kW. Anything installed beyond 3kW gets zero additional central subsidy — so oversizing past 3kW doesn’t buy you more support money.
02. ₹78,000 is the ceiling, not a guarantee
A 10kW system gets the same ₹78,000 as a 3kW system. If your bill supports a larger system, the extra capacity is still worth it for savings — just don’t expect the subsidy to scale with it.
03. Some states add their own top-up
A handful of states layer a state-level incentive on top of the central amount. These change year to year, so treat our estimate as a starting point and confirm the current figure with your state nodal agency.
04. Vendor choice can make or break your claim
Subsidy claims are commonly rejected over non-ALMM-listed inverters or panels. Installing through an MNRE-empanelled vendor isn’t optional paperwork — it’s the difference between getting paid and not.
Figures are indicative estimates based on published 2026 MNRE slabs and are meant to help you plan — not a substitute for your DISCOM’s feasibility approval or the official pmsuryaghar.gov.in calculation.

State-wise breakdown
Central subsidy is the same everywhere.
The state top-up is what changes.
Every state gets the same MNRE central subsidy. A handful of states layer their own scheme on top — this is where the real difference in your final payout comes from.
| STATE | CENTRAL SUBSIDY (3KW) | STATE TOP-UP (APPROX.) | COMBINED (APPROX.) | NOTES |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gujarat | ₹78,000 | ~₹10,000–30,000 | ~₹1,08,000 | Routed via GEDА / Surya Gujarat scheme |
| Uttar Pradesh | ₹78,000 | ~₹15,000–30,000 | ~₹1,08,000 | Routed via UPNEDA, separate from central portal |
| Rajasthan | ₹78,000 | ~₹17,000 | ~₹95,000 | Via RREC, some schemes rural-household specific |
| Delhi | ₹78,000 | Generation-based incentive (₹/unit exported, ~5 yrs) | Varies with usage | Paid over time, not a lump sum top-up |
| Bihar | ₹78,000 | Select rural household schemes | Case-by-case | Check district-level scheme availability |
| Maharashtra | ₹78,000 | No confirmed flat top-up | ₹78,000 | Central subsidy only in most reporting |
| All other states/UTs |
₹78,000 | Central subsidy only | ₹78,000 | No additional state scheme currently reported |
State top-up figures above are commonly reported approximations, not official MNRE numbers — they vary by scheme, income category, and budget year, and can be revised or withdrawn. Confirm the current figure for your state on your state renewable energy agency’s site or your DISCOM’s rooftop solar section before finalising your budget.
Eligibility
Do you actually qualify for
the central subsidy?
These are the conditions the national portal checks before it approves your application. Miss one, and your claim stalls regardless of your bill or system size.
1
Residential electricity connection
The connection must be residential (LMV-1 category or your state’s equivalent). Commercial, industrial, and institutional connections are not eligible for the central CFA.
2
Ownership or written consent
You need clear rights to install on the rooftop — as the owner, or with written permission from the property owner if you’re a tenant.
3
Grid-connected with a valid consumer number
Your home must already have a DISCOM electricity connection and consumer number — the scheme is built around grid-tied net metering, not off-grid systems.
4
No prior subsidy on the same connection
If a rooftop solar subsidy has already been claimed against this exact electricity connection, it can’t be claimed again.
5
Shadow-free, structurally sound roof
Roughly 80–100 sq. ft. of unobstructed roof per kW is needed. Significant shading from trees or neighbouring structures can affect both feasibility approval and generation.
6
DCR / ALMM-listed panels, empanelled vendor
Installation must go through an MNRE-empanelled vendor using ALMM-approved modules and inverters — this is the single most common reason claims get rejected.
