Subsidy Amount
Current central subsidy for residential rooftop solar.
The final portal calculation depends on your system, category, DISCOM approval, and the latest government rules. These are the common central CFA figures for regular residential systems.
| Rooftop system | Central subsidy | Simple meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 kW | Rs 30,000 | Useful for small homes with lower monthly electricity use. |
| 2 kW | Rs 60,000 | A common choice for homes with moderate bill usage. |
| 3 kW | Rs 78,000 | Often suitable when monthly usage is around 300 units or more. |
| Above 3 kW | Rs 78,000 cap | You can install a bigger system, but central subsidy is capped at 3 kW. |
| Group housing or RWA common facility | Rs 18,000 per kW up to 500 kW | For common loads as per portal and scheme conditions. |
Who Can Apply
Eligibility points to check before applying.
The portal and DISCOM decide final eligibility. These points help you prepare before starting the application.
The roof, terrace, balcony, or elevated structure should have usable sunlight and safe access.
You need electricity bill details, mobile number, bank account details, and documents asked by the portal.
Regular commercial bills and B2B product purchases are separate from this residential subsidy flow.
Application Flow
How customers normally get the subsidy.
Register On Portal
Enter state, DISCOM, consumer number, mobile, and other details on the National Portal.
Choose Vendor
Select a portal-listed vendor, check roof space, and discuss system size and quotation.
Get Approval
DISCOM feasibility, installation, net meter, and inspection are completed as per local process.
Receive DBT
After commissioning and approval, subsidy is credited to the eligible customer's bank account.
System Size
Choose kW size based on bill units, not guesswork.
In many Indian cities, 1 kW rooftop solar can generate roughly 4 to 5 units on a good sunny day. A 3 kW system can often cross 300 units in a month when shade and direction are good.
| Monthly use | Suggested start point | Approx generation |
|---|---|---|
| 100-150 units | 1 kW | About 90-150 units/month |
| 200-300 units | 2 kW | About 180-300 units/month |
| 300-450 units | 3 kW | About 270-450 units/month |
This is only a planning guide. Final design depends on roof shade, direction, sanction load, DISCOM rules, and budget.
