The Government of India's 'Surya Ghar Yojana' is now offering a 60% subsidy to consumers on solar panel installation. Know how you can install solar panels on your home rooftop and make huge savings on electricity bills.

The Government of India has taken a big step to promote solar panel installation under its ambitious scheme 'Surya Ghar Yojana'. Under this scheme, you can now install a 3 kW solar panel system on the roof of your house for just ₹ 1,800. This step has been taken with the aim of encouraging renewable energy and providing relief in the electricity bills of citizens.

Objective and benefits of 'Surya Ghar Yojana'

The main objective of the 'Surya Ghar Yojana' of the Government of India is to promote the use of solar energy. Under this, consumers are getting the opportunity to install solar panels at low cost, which will not only reduce their electricity bill but will also contribute to environmental protection. Through this scheme, citizens can move towards the use of solar energy, so that their electricity consumption can be completely met by solar energy.

3kW Solar Panel System Cost and Subsidy

Generally, the total cost of a 3 kW solar panel system is around ₹1,80,000. But under the 'Surya Ghar Yojana', the government is providing a subsidy of up to 60%, making the system available to consumers for just ₹1,800. This subsidy is transferred directly to the bank accounts of consumers, thereby maintaining transparency in the process. This has made the process of solar panel installation more accessible and affordable.

Potential savings on electricity bills

A 3 kW solar panel system generates an average of 12-15 units of electricity per day, which makes it possible to generate 360-450 units of electricity every month. If the consumer's monthly electricity consumption is in this range, then the electricity generated from the solar panel can meet their entire requirement. In this case, the consumer's electricity bill can be zero or minimal, allowing them to save for years.

Application Process

The application process for solar panel installation under 'Surya Ghar Yojana' is extremely simple and online. Interested consumers can first register by visiting the official website of 'Surya Ghar Yojana'. After registration, the consumer has to fill in the required information such as name, address, and electricity connection number. They can then select the authorized vendors available in the area who provide solar panel installation services. After this, the consumer has to complete the installation process from the selected vendor once the subsidy is approved.

Types of solar panels and benefits of installation

There are mainly two types of solar panels:

  1. Monocrystalline solar panels – These panels are highly efficient and produce more power in less space, but they cost a little more.
  2. Polycrystalline solar panels – These panels are lower cost, but their efficiency is lower than monocrystalline panels.

Solar panel installation has many benefits, such as reduced electricity bills, and environmental protection, and it proves to be a long-term investment. The average lifespan of a solar panel is 25 years, making it a long-term profitable investment.

Important Points

It is important to pay special attention to quality during solar panel installation under this scheme. Consumers should buy panels only from authorized sellers so that there is no compromise on quality and efficiency. Apart from this, regular maintenance of solar panels is also necessary so that their functionality is maintained.

Under the 'Surya Ghar Yojana', consumers can use net metering to send their excess generated power to the grid, allowing them to earn additional income.

The future direction of solar energy

This scheme of the Government of India will not only help in reducing the cost of electricity but will also prove to be an important step towards the environment. Promoting the use of solar energy will reduce pollution and will also create employment opportunities in the industries related to it.
