Subsidy guide / Residential package

Trichy homes · 3 kW on-grid

₹1 lakh solar subsidy package

Solar for your home. Clear costs. Support from survey to subsidy.

Up to ₹1,00,000 combined government support for eligible residential systems of 3 kW and above. This is the subsidy amount, not the system price.

A practical starting design

Your 3 kW rooftop system

Solar panels

Subsidy-eligible DCR modules meeting current ALMM requirements. Module count and wattage are confirmed in the roof layout.

On-grid inverter

Sungrow is our first choice, followed by Growatt and SolarEdge, subject to compatibility and availability. No battery in this base design.

Protection & mounting

Site-specific structure, DC/AC protection, earthing, cabling and monitoring. Final scope and warranty terms are listed in your written proposal.

~270 sq ft

Calculator allowance; shade-free roof, plus access clearances

~13.5 units/day

At 4.5 units per kW/day; weather and shade affect output

Grid connected

Standard on-grid solar shuts down during power cuts

Cost, before and after subsidy

An illustration using our existing calculator rate of ₹66,000 per kW, not a fixed-price offer. Your survey determines the final installed price.

Roof work, special structures, battery upgrades, EB additional-load or meter fees, taxes and other site-specific charges must be confirmed in the quotation; this example does not promise their inclusion.

Subsidy is reimbursed after commissioning, not an automatic upfront discount. State support is subject to eligibility and scheme allocation, including the first 1 lakh eligible consumers. If only central support is approved, this illustration is ₹1,20,000 after reimbursement.

Documents for subsidy & loan

  • Bank passbook — account details page
  • PAN card
  • Aadhaar card
  • Passport-size photograph
  • Latest EB bill / EB card with consumer number
  • Roof ownership proof or owner consent

If EB additional load is needed

Latest property tax receipt, passport-size photo and EB card.

Keep your registered mobile ready for OTPs. The bank and EB office may request further documents; loan approval, rates and repayment terms are lender decisions. Do not upload identity documents into the enquiry form.

Eligibility comes first

  • Residential electricity connection; commercial systems do not receive this residential subsidy.
  • Suitable roof ownership or consent, safe structure and sufficient shade-free space.
  • No previous central subsidy for the same connection, subject to current portal rules.
  • Eligible equipment and registered vendor, with required feasibility and commissioning approvals.

We confirm current central and state eligibility before finalising your quote. Larger systems can qualify, but combined support does not rise above ₹1 lakh.

From survey to subsidy

Installation time is separate from government approval and payment time.

  1. 1

    Survey & written proposal

    Scheduled with you

    Check roof strength, shade, electricity usage and sanctioned load. Confirm equipment, scope, price and subsidy eligibility before you commit.

  2. 2

    Application & feasibility

    Depends on EB approval

    Register on PM Surya Ghar, select the eligible vendor and apply for feasibility. Additional-load approval may be needed.

  3. 3

    Installation & safety checks

    Indicative: 3–7 days after approval

    Install the mounting structure, panels, inverter, protection and earthing. Test wiring, isolation and generation before handover.

  4. 4

    Inspection & net meter

    Depends on the local EB office

    Submit the system documents and coordinate inspection and bidirectional metering. Do not export before the required approval.

  5. 5

    Subsidy claim & handover

    Central credit: indicative 30–45 days after a complete claim

    Upload commissioning and bank details. Government processing and state top-up timing can differ; neither payment date is guaranteed.

These are planning estimates, not service deadlines. Roof readiness, stock, weather, EB inspections and government processing can extend the schedule.
