Government Solar Scheme
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana
Everything a Haryana household needs to know about India's rooftop solar scheme — benefits, subsidy slabs, eligibility, documents and the step-by-step application process.
The Scheme
Free electricity up to 300 units every month
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is a Government of India scheme (Ministry of New & Renewable Energy) that helps households install rooftop solar systems. In return, households get free electricity for up to 300 units per month — and any extra solar power exported to the grid earns credits on the electricity bill through net metering.
Free up to 300 units / month
Subsidy up to ₹78,000
Net metering credits
Panels last 25+ years
Subsidy at a Glance

The central subsidy is credited straight to the applicant's bank account (DBT) after installation, inspection and commissioning. Indicative slabs for residential rooftop systems:
2 kW
₹60,000 subsidy
Covers a typical household's daytime load.
3 kW
₹78,000 subsidy

BPL / Antyodaya Households · ₹50,000 state top-up on 2 kW
Haryana BPL solar top-up — a different application route
Besides the central PM Surya Ghar subsidy, the Government of Haryana provides an additional state top-up of ₹50,000 for a 2 kW system to Antyodaya / BPL households. Together with the central subsidy of ₹60,000, a 2 kW system attracts up to ₹1,10,000. In this category the DISCOM nominates the vendor and allots the capacity, so the process is not the same as a normal vendor booking.
What it means for an Antyodaya / BPL family
- The central subsidy of ₹60,000 (2 kW) comes to your own bank account by DBT once the system is installed and inspected.
- The state top-up of ₹50,000 (2 kW) is over and above the central amount and is governed by the state notification in force — take it to ₹1,10,000 in total.
- Capacity is allotted through your DISCOM (DHBVN / UHBVN), which nominates the vendor for the job.
- Category proof (Antyodaya / BPL card), Aadhaar, electricity connection and bank details are required, as in a normal application.
Please confirm the current amount and the vendor-allotment process at your DISCOM office before paying anyone. Scheme amounts and eligibility change by notification. EcoGrid supplies, installs and commissions the system and handles the paperwork once capacity is allotted to you.
