Eligible Bihar households installing a 3 kW rooftop solar system may be able to receive up to ₹78,000 in central assistance and up to ₹20,000 in additional Bihar state assistance—a potential combined benefit of ₹98,000. Approval is not automatic and depends on scheme rules, eligibility, application and verification.
Central PM Surya Ghar vs Additional Bihar Assistance Slabs
The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana encourages residential households to install grid-connected rooftop solar. Under the central subsidy structure, the benchmark assistance is ₹30,000 for 1 kW, ₹60,000 for 2 kW and up to ₹78,000 for 3 kW or higher eligible residential capacity. The central subsidy is capped at 3 kW for an individual household.
Bihar has announced additional state assistance of up to ₹10,000 for a 1 kW system and up to ₹20,000 for 2 kW and 3 kW systems. When combined with the central component, the potential total can be ₹40,000 for 1 kW, ₹80,000 for 2 kW and up to ₹98,000 for 3 kW or above. These are maximum potential amounts, not a promise or guarantee that every applicant will receive the full amount; state assistance remains subject to current government rules, allocation, eligibility, application and verification.
| Residential Capacity | Central Subsidy (PM Surya Ghar) | Bihar State Assistance (Announced Up To) | Potential Combined Maximum* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kW System | ₹30,000 | Up to ₹10,000 | Up to ₹40,000 |
| 2 kW System | ₹60,000 | Up to ₹20,000 | Up to ₹80,000 |
| 3 kW & Above | Up to ₹78,000 | Up to ₹20,000 | Up to ₹98,000 |
*Figures show maximum potential residential support subject to scheme conditions, active state allocation, DCR/technical compliance and portal/DISCOM verification.
How the Official Application & Verification Workflow Operates
To begin, check the latest eligibility and application instructions on the PM Surya Ghar National Portal. Applicants generally register using their electricity consumer details, obtain feasibility approval, select an eligible registered vendor, complete installation as per technical requirements and submit the required commissioning information. The DISCOM verification and portal process must be completed before subsidy disbursement.
Important Compliance Checks for Bihar Applicants
Keep your electricity consumer number, mobile number, bank details and required documents accurate. Ask the installer to explain the system design, DCR/module requirements where applicable, inverter details, safety equipment, net-metering process and the responsibilities of each party. Do not pay an agent who guarantees approval or asks for an unofficial fee.
