Recently, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has issued new guidelines for the PM Surya Ghar Scheme, aimed at installing rooftop solar panels on 1 crore homes in India. Launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this initiative supports the vision of energy security and clean energy.
Beneficiaries can receive a subsidy ranging from Rs 30,000 to Rs 78,000 for an on-grid solar system of 1 to 3 kW. This financial support will be particularly beneficial for small and middle-income families, enabling access to affordable, eco-friendly energy.
New Notification of PM Surya Ghar Yojana
The MNRE has introduced new norms for solar panel installation under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana. If a customer faces space constraints for roof installation, they can opt for the Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) option.
Furthermore, metering devices such as Group Net Metering and Virtual Net Metering are now eligible for solar subsidies, broadening access to clean energy.
Understanding Building Integrated Photovoltaics
Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) are solar products that integrate seamlessly into building structures, such as balconies, windows, or terraces. This technology generates solar energy while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of homes, and the recent notification includes these installations for subsidy benefits.
Benefits of the New Notification
The new guidelines primarily benefit customers with limited roof space, particularly in urban areas or rented accommodations. They can now install solar panels on balconies and windows and still qualify for government subsidies.
How to Apply for Solar Subsidy
To apply for the solar subsidy, visit the DISCOM website of your area at https://www.pmsuryaghar.gov.in/. The application process includes:
