Solar Savings with Vigood Solartek: Your Guide to the Residential Subsidy Scheme
Share
Are you ready to cut your electricity bills and contribute to a greener future? With the latest rooftop solar subsidy scheme in India, now is the perfect time to explore installing a solar panel system for your home — and Vigood Solartek is here to guide you through every step.
What’s the Subsidy Scheme?
The scheme — launched under the name PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana — is a government-backed initiative for residential rooftop solar. It offers direct subsidies to homeowners who install grid-connected or hybrid rooftop solar systems. This helps you reduce your upfront investment while powering your house with clean, renewable energy.
How Much Subsidy Can You Get?
Under the latest subsidy structure, you can now get a maximum subsidy of ₹ 1,08,000 in Uttar Pradesh, which includes both Central and State subsidies:
- 
Central Government Subsidy: Up to ₹ 78,000
- 
₹ 30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW
 - 
₹ 18,000 per kW for 2 kW to 3 kW
 
 - 
 - 
Uttar Pradesh State Subsidy: Up to ₹ 30,000
- 
₹ 15,000 per kW for the first 2 kW
 
 - 
 
Total Maximum Subsidy: ₹ 1,08,000
Example:
If you install a 3 kW rooftop solar system in Uttar Pradesh, you’ll receive ₹ 78,000 (central) + ₹ 30,000 (state) = ₹ 1,08,000 total subsidy.
Extra Perks for Group Housing Societies & RWAs
If you live in a housing society or are part of a Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA), the subsidy for common-area rooftop solar systems is ₹ 18,000 per kW (up to 500 kW), with each household capped at 3 kW equivalent.
State-Level Incentives Overview
Besides the central subsidy, several states offer their own incentives that stack up for added savings:
- 
Uttar Pradesh: ₹ 15,000 per kW (up to ₹ 30,000 per home)
 - 
Rajasthan: ₹ 17,000 for systems above 1.1 kW
 - 
Gujarat: 40% subsidy for up to 3 kW; 20% for 3–10 kW
