PM Surya Ghar Yojana Full Details 2025: Online Apply, Subsidy

PM Surya Ghar Yojana: In 2025, Narendra Modi Ji launched the Surya Ghar Free Electricity Scheme, also known as PM Surya Ghar Yojana. Under this scheme, the government has promised to provide 300 units of free electricity for installing solar panels on the roof of a house. Additionally, you can also get it for ₹78,000, but you need to first understand how and when you will receive this money.

PM Surya Ghar Yojana Overview

What is PM Surya Ghar Yojana?

PM Surya Ghar Yojana / Free Electricity Scheme: This is a government scheme aimed at providing free electricity to households in India. The scheme was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 15, 2024. Under this scheme, households will be given subsidies to install solar panels on their roofs. The subsidy will cover up to 40% of the cost of the solar panels. It is expected that this scheme will benefit 1 crore (10 million) households across India. This scheme will also help the government save around ₹75,000 crore annually in electricity expenses.

How much will it cost in PM Surya Ghar Yojana?

Let me first explain the budget for this scheme. The cost of installing solar panels may vary based on the capacity you choose.

• If you want to install a 1-kilowatt solar panel, it will cost around ₹90,000. The subsidy you will receive is ₹18,000, so your net cost will be ₹72,000.
• If you want to install a 2-kilowatt solar panel, the total cost will be around ₹1,50,000. The government subsidy will be ₹30,000, so your net cost will be ₹1,20,000.
• If you want to install a 3-kilowatt solar panel, the cost will be ₹2,00,000, and the subsidy will be ₹78,000. So your initial cost will be ₹1,28,000.

For higher capacities, such as 4 or 5 kilowatts, the subsidy will remain ₹78,000, which is the maximum subsidy available. The total amount will increase depending on the size of the solar panel, but the government only provides the subsidy for up to 3 kilowatts.

After this, a quick question might be running through your mind: How can we figure out how many kilowatts of solar panels we need for our house? There are two processes to determine this. First, let me tell you the process that the government has officially provided on their website.

1. If your household consumes between 0 to 150 units of electricity per month, a 1-kilowatt or 2-kilowatt solar panel would be suitable for you.
2. If your household consumes between 150 to 300 units of electricity per month, a 2-kilowatt or 3-kilowatt solar panel would be appropriate for you.
3. If your household consumes 300 units or more of electricity per month, a 3-kilowatt solar panel would be suitable.
4. If your electricity consumption is even higher, you may need 4 or 5 kilowatts of solar panels. However, as the government has only provided subsidies for up to 3 kilowatts, you can only receive the subsidy for solar panels up to that capacity.

This will help you determine the right size of the solar panel for your household’s electricity needs.
