Solar Subsidy: Install a 2kW Solar System for Just ₹16,500 – Avail Subsidy Benefits

PM Surya Ghar Mufta Bijli Yojana
The government launched the PM Surya Ghar Mufta Bijli Yojana earlier this year to encourage households to install rooftop solar panels and reduce electricity bills. Under this scheme, homeowners can install solar panels ranging from 1kW to 10kW and benefit from solar subsidies.

What Is the New Solar Panel Scheme?
The government aims to install solar panels on 1 crore rooftops across India through this initiative. This move promotes renewable energy usage, making the country greener and more energy-efficient. The scheme provides subsidies to make solar panels affordable, encouraging individuals to adopt clean energy.

PM Kusum Yojana for Farmers
Farmers can benefit from the PM Kusum Yojana, which provides subsidies for installing solar pumps in fields. These pumps reduce irrigation costs and enable farmers to sell surplus electricity back to the grid, creating an additional source of income.

Install a 2kW Solar System for Just ₹16,500
With government subsidies, installing solar panels has become highly affordable. For instance, a 2kW solar system, which typically costs ₹92,500, can be installed for just ₹16,500 after availing of a ₹76,000 subsidy. This setup significantly reduces electricity bills.
