Solar Subsidy in India: A Complete State-Wise Guide

By Navya Editorial Team · · 1 min read

India’s central rooftop solar subsidy applies nationwide, but the paperwork, disbursement timelines and top-up incentives vary by state and by your local discom. In Andhra Pradesh, most residential systems between 1kW and 10kW qualify, with the subsidy credited directly to your bank account after commissioning and net-meter installation.

The process has three real checkpoints: registering on the national solar portal with your consumer number, getting your installer’s technical report accepted after commissioning, and the discom’s final net-metering sign-off. Each step can stall for reasons that have nothing to do with your system — an outdated consumer number, a delayed site inspection, a mismatched name on the electricity bill.

Our team files and tracks every one of these steps on your behalf, so the subsidy question becomes something you check in on, not something you chase.

Scheme rules, eligibility and subsidy amounts are set by the Government of India and your discom, and can change. Always confirm the current position on the official PM Surya Ghar portal (pmsuryaghar.gov.in) or with your discom before deciding.
