Understanding India's Rooftop Solar Subsidy Scheme

India's central rooftop solar subsidy scheme is aimed at residential customers installing grid-connected systems, with the subsidy amount tiered by system capacity. State-level DISCOMs and nodal agencies can also run their own additional incentives, so what's available to you depends on both the central scheme and your state.

Because subsidy slabs, capacity caps and empanelment rules are revised periodically, we don't publish exact rupee figures here — ask our team for the current numbers for your state when you request a quote, or check the official portal directly.

Who typically qualifies

Eligibility generally depends on having a residential electricity connection in your own name, installing through a DISCOM-empanelled vendor, and using approved/certified components. Commercial and industrial installations usually fall under separate schemes with different terms.

Where the paperwork usually gets stuck

Net metering applications and subsidy disbursement both route through your DISCOM, and delays are common when documentation is incomplete or the installer isn't properly empanelled. This is the exact gap we built our EPC process around — we file the net metering and subsidy applications on your behalf and follow up with the DISCOM so you're not the one making repeat trips to their office.
