PM Surya Ghar Scheme Enables Over 64,000 Homes to Install Subsidized Rooftop Solar Systems

The Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, launched in early 2024, supports low- and middle-income households in installing rooftop solar systems with government subsidies up to Rs 78,000. Systems typically range from 1 to 3 kW, generating up to 300 units monthly, reducing electricity bills and allowing surplus power sales. Over 64,000 homes in Maharashtra's Jalgaon zone have adopted the scheme, installing 235 MW capacity. Subsidies cover 40-60% of costs, with some states offering additional support, and concessional loans are available to encourage participation.
