The Indian government actively promotes solar energy to reduce electricity costs and support a cleaner environment. Through various subsidies, incentives, and policies, solar installation has become more affordable for homes, businesses, and institutions across India.
Why the Government Supports Solar Energy
Solar power helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels, lowers carbon emissions, and supports India’s renewable energy goals. To encourage adoption, the government offers financial benefits to solar users.
Solar Subsidy for Residential Users
The central government provides subsidies under the PM Surya Ghar / Rooftop Solar Scheme:
- Up to 40% subsidy for systems up to 3 kW
- Up to 20% subsidy for systems between 3 kW and 10 kW
- Applicable only for residential rooftop solar systems
- Subsidy amount is directly credited to the consumer’s bank account
Subsidy for Commercial & Industrial Solar
Commercial and industrial users are not eligible for direct subsidies, but they benefit through:
- Accelerated depreciation
- Tax benefits
- Reduced electricity bills
- Net metering advantages
These benefits help industries recover their investment faster.
Net Metering Benefits
With net metering, excess electricity generated by your solar system is exported to the grid, and credits are adjusted in your electricity bill—further reducing monthly costs.

- Grid-connected solar system
- Approved solar panels and inverters
