Government Solar Subsidy in Gujarat
A plain-language guide to the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana rooftop solar subsidy and PM-KUSUM agricultural scheme — and how we handle the paperwork for you.
Subsidy slabs and scheme rules are set by the central and state governments and can change without notice. The figures below reflect the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana structure at the time of writing — always confirm the current, exact terms with our team before finalizing your system.
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana
India's flagship residential rooftop solar subsidy scheme, aimed at 1 crore households nationwide.
| System Size | Subsidy Rate | Example |
|---|---|---|
| First 2 kW | ₹30,000 per kW | ₹60,000 for a 2kW system |
| 3rd kW (2–3 kW) | ₹18,000 per kW | Added on top of the first slab |
| Above 3 kW | Capped at ₹78,000 | No additional subsidy beyond 3kW |
For a typical 3kW residential system, this works out to a maximum central subsidy of ₹78,000 (₹30,000 × 2kW + ₹18,000 × 1kW). The scheme also supports Residential Welfare Associations and Group Housing Societies for common-area installations, at ₹18,000 per kW up to 500kW (capped at 3kW per household equivalent).
Who can apply
- You own the property (or have the owner's consent) and it has a suitable, largely shadow-free roof.
- The property has a functional electricity connection with a DISCOM (PGVCL for the Kodinar / Gir Somnath region).
- You haven't already claimed a rooftop solar subsidy on the same connection.
- The system uses DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) approved modules and is installed by a vendor registered on the government's subsidy portal — we handle this registration as part of every residential contract.
PM-KUSUM for Farmers
If you farm land around Kodinar, Una or Sutrapada, PM-KUSUM supports solar-powered irrigation pumps and small-scale solar power generation on agricultural land, reducing dependency on diesel pumps and grid electricity. Central and state subsidy shares vary by component and current allocation — our team checks live scheme availability before recommending a solar water pumping system.

Subsidy FAQs
How much subsidy can I get under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?
For residential rooftop solar, the central subsidy is ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2kW and ₹18,000 for the 3rd kW, capped at a maximum of ₹78,000 for systems of 3kW and above. A typical 3kW system therefore qualifies for the full ₹78,000 subsidy.
Is the subsidy available for commercial or industrial properties?
The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana subsidy is specifically for residential rooftop solar. Commercial and industrial properties are not eligible for this particular subsidy, but they benefit from accelerated depreciation and net-metering, which we can explain during your consultation.
What is PM-KUSUM and does it apply to me?
PM-KUSUM is a separate central scheme for farmers, supporting solar-powered irrigation pumps and small solar power plants on agricultural land, with subsidy support that varies by component and state allocation. If you're a farmer in the Kodinar region looking at solar water pumping, our team can check current PM-KUSUM allocations for you.
Do subsidy amounts and rules change?
Yes. Subsidy slabs, portal processes and state-level top-ups are set by the central and state governments and can be revised. The figures on this page reflect the scheme structure at the time of writing — we always confirm the current, exact terms with you before finalizing your quotation.
How long does it take to receive the subsidy after installation?
Once net-metering is approved by PGVCL and the DISCOM verifies the installation on the national portal, the subsidy is typically credited to the applicant's bank account within a few weeks. Timelines can vary based on DISCOM processing load.
Does Adinath Solar Energy handle the subsidy paperwork?
Yes — subsidy portal registration, DISCOM liaison and net-metering paperwork are handled by our team as part of every residential EPC contract, so you don't have to navigate the process yourself.
