PM Surya Ghar is a central government programme that supports eligible residential rooftop solar installations. In Bihar, eligible households may also qualify for additional state assistance, taking the potential combined support to up to ₹98,000 for a 3 kW-or-higher eligible residential system, subject to scheme conditions.
Central & Bihar Subsidy Rules Explained Clearly
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana aims to expand rooftop solar among residential electricity consumers. The central subsidy is calculated under the programme’s prescribed capacity slabs and is capped at the equivalent of 3 kW for individual households. At the published benchmark rates, central assistance can reach ₹78,000 for 3 kW or higher eligible residential capacity.
Bihar has announced additional state assistance of up to ₹20,000 for eligible residential consumers. Together, central and state support may reach up to ₹98,000 for an eligible 3 kW installation. The actual state benefit can depend on the latest government orders, district or programme allocation, applicant eligibility, vendor and DISCOM verification, and availability of funds. Check the current position before signing a contract.
Step-by-Step Official Portal & DISCOM Application Process
The usual process begins on the official PM Surya Ghar National Portal. Consumers register using their electricity connection details, submit the application and wait for feasibility approval. They then select an eligible registered vendor, complete the rooftop installation in accordance with scheme requirements, submit the required plant and inverter information, and complete inspection and commissioning steps. Subsidy disbursement follows the prescribed verification process.
Documentation Accuracy & Vendor Transparency
Applicants should keep their consumer number, bank account information and other requested details accurate. They should read the latest portal instructions and confirm the correct process with their DISCOM. The vendor should provide a clear quotation, equipment details, installation records and support for the technical documentation required under the scheme.
