MNRE Subsidy
(PM Muft Bijli Yojana) under PM Surya Ghar
The MNRE Solar Subsidy (PM Muft Bijli Yojana) under PM Surya Ghar, launched by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), supports rooftop solar panel installation with a subsidy (MNRE’s CFA). These panels harness sunlight to generate electricity, reducing dependency on traditional power sources. A 3 KW solar system can produce 600 to 720 units in two months. If purchased from KSEB, the same power would cost approximately Rs 4,500/-. This initiative promotes clean energy while helping homeowners save on electricity bills.
Overview
Renewable energy, especially solar power, has gained widespread popularity and affordability across India, largely due to government initiatives and subsidies. Over the past seven years, both the Central and State Governments have actively promoted the renewable energy sector, setting ambitious targets of 175 GW by 2022 and 500 GW by 2030.
Financial incentives, provided through the Central Financial Assistance (CFA) program under the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) and executed by state DISCOMs, have significantly contributed to the expansion of rooftop solar systems, even in rural areas. To further accelerate solar adoption, the MNRE has launched the PM Muft Bijli Yojana, also known as PM Surya Ghar, offering residents subsidies of up to ₹78,000 on rooftop solar installations. This initiative guarantees a minimum twofold return on investment, making solar energy a cost-effective and sustainable choice.
With rising electricity costs, switching to renewable sources is now more essential than ever, ensuring long-term savings and a cleaner, greener future.
Key Benefits for Homeowners:
- Financial Incentives: Homeowners receive substantial subsidies on rooftop solar installations, making the switch to solar more affordable and accessible.
- Reduced Energy Bills: Rooftop solar lowers reliance on grid power, cutting costs and promoting sustainability.
- Low Maintenance Costs: Rooftop solar requires minimal upkeep, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective clean energy source.
Polycrystalline Panels Vs Monocrystalline Panels
Polycrystalline and Monocrystalline solar panels are two widely used technologies, each with its own advantages. Polycrystalline panels have been a trusted and field-tested technology for over 60 years, offering reliability and cost-effectiveness. In contrast, Monocrystalline panels are a newer innovation with higher area efficiency, meaning they can generate more power per unit area of sunlight. However, under Standard Test Conditions (STC), both types of panels—whether 3 kWp Monocrystalline or Polycrystalline—produce the same power output. The primary difference lies in space efficiency; Monocrystalline panels require slightly less space, making them ideal for installations where roof area is limited. Despite this advantage, Monocrystalline panels are more expensive than Polycrystalline panels. If space is not a major constraint, Polycrystalline panels offer a more budget-friendly option while delivering the same power output. As solar technology continues to advance, Polycrystalline panels remain a strong investment choice, especially for those seeking a cost-effective and reliable solar solution.
MNRE Solar Subsidy Availability duration
Registrations for the MNRE Solar Subsidy (PM Surya Ghar) are currently open and will continue until the allocated capacity is fully utilized. Since availability is limited, subsidies are granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Learning Path
If your roof doesn’t get enough sunlight due to shade from nearby buildings, trees, or its orientation, installing solar panels may not be as effective. A solar expert can assess your roof’s potential and suggest the best alternatives. If rooftop solar isn’t suitable, you might consider a community solar farm, which allows you to enjoy the benefits of solar energy without installing panels on your property.
On average, home solar systems in India have a payback period of 5–8 years. However, several factors can affect this timeline, including local electricity rates, the cost of the solar system, payment method (loan, lease, or upfront purchase), and your energy consumption.
Most solar companies offer a 25-year performance warranty for home solar systems. Over this period, solar panels retain about 85% of their original efficiency, though a slight decline may occur after the first few years. Even beyond 25 years, the panels will continue generating electricity, ensuring long-term energy benefits.
Yes, solar panels usually come with a 25-year warranty. Other components, like inverters and batteries, also have significant warranties, though coverage varies by brand. Additionally, your installer will provide a workmanship warranty for the installation work, ensuring reliability and quality.
Maintaining a home solar system is affordable and hassle-free. Since solar panels have no moving parts, major failures are rare. Routine cleaning and inspections help keep the system running efficiently. Many solar providers offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC), covering regular check-ups and servicing to reduce downtime, enhance performance, and extend the system’s lifespan. With proper care, your solar system remains a reliable and cost-effective energy source for years.
