In today’s time, electricity has become a basic need for every home. Whether it’s lighting the house, running a fan or cooler, using a water pump, or charging a mobile phone – nothing works without electricity. But with rising inflation, electricity bills are also becoming a big burden on common people’s budgets.
In such a situation, people are now looking for cheaper and permanent solutions. That’s why the demand for solar panels is growing quickly. To help with this, the central government has launched the ‘PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana’ to provide relief to the public. Under this scheme, if someone installs a solar panel on the roof of their house, they can get up to 70% subsidy from the government. The main goal of this scheme is to make every home in the country self-reliant and free from electricity bills.
How Much Subsidy Will Be Available for Each Solar Panel?
Under this scheme, you can choose a solar panel based on your needs and the available roof space. Below is the information about the subsidy and the required roof area for each type of panel:
2 kW Solar Panel
70% subsidy from the government
Requires at least 200 square feet of roof space
3 kW Solar Panel
60% subsidy from the government
Requires at least 300 square feet of roof space
4 kW Solar Panel
45% subsidy from the government

5 kW Solar Panel

Consumers can directly benefit from this subsidy, making it easier and more affordable to install solar panels.
Solar Panels Provide Benefits for 25 Years
Once installed, you won’t have to worry about electricity bills for 25 years. Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight, which is free. This not only reduces your electricity expenses but also benefits the environment by helping to reduce carbon emissions and providing a sustainable source of clean energy.
Easy Instalment Options for Solar Panel Installation
If you can’t pay the full amount upfront, don’t worry. Solar panels can be installed in easy instalments (EMI). This option is available at places like Prakash Electronics. All you need is your Aadhaar card and PAN card to get started.
Government Subsidy Directly to Your Bank Account
A unique feature of this scheme is that the government subsidy is transferred directly to your bank account. The subsidy amount is transferred within 90 days of your application. The entire process is easy and digital, saving you time.
Contribution to Environmental Protection
Installing solar panels not only helps reduce your electricity bill but also makes a significant contribution to environmental protection. Solar energy is a clean, green source of energy that doesn’t cause pollution, helping to keep our planet safe and clean.
