PM Solar Panel Yojana Subsidy Structure 2026
The PM Solar Panel Yojana 2026 offers financial assistance to households for installing rooftop solar panels. The subsidy structure is designed to reduce the initial cost burden and encourage the adoption of green energy under the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.
Subsidy for Residential Households
The government provides a significant subsidy for residential installations. Below is the detailed breakdown of the subsidy amount based on the capacity of the solar plant.
| Solar Plant Capacity | Subsidy Amount |
|---|---|
| Up to 2 kW | ₹30,000 per kW |
| Additional capacity (2 kW to 3 kW) | ₹18,000 per kW |
| Systems larger than 3 kW | Total Subsidy capped at ₹78,000 |
Subsidy for Group Housing Societies (GHS) / RWA
For Group Housing Societies (GHS) and Resident Welfare Associations (RWA), the government offers a subsidy for common facilities like lighting, water pumps, and layout, including EV charging stations.
| Category | Subsidy Rate | Maximum Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| GHS / RWA Common Facilities | ₹18,000 per kW | Up to 500 kW (@3 kW per house limit) |
Note: The subsidy amount is directly transferred to the beneficiary's bank account within 30 days of the successful installation and verification by the DISCOM.
How to Calculate Your Subsidy?
For example, if you install a 3 kW system:
- For the first 2 kW: 2 × ₹30,000 = ₹60,000
- For the next 1 kW: 1 × ₹18,000 = ₹18,000
- Total Subsidy: ₹78,000
If you install a 1 kW system, the subsidy will be ₹30,000.
