Can a tenant apply for PM Surya Ghar?

The scheme is for households that own the house and roof. If you rent, the owner of the house would need to apply.

I got a rooftop solar subsidy before. Can I apply again?

No. A household that has already availed a government subsidy for rooftop solar is not eligible again under PM Surya Ghar.

Does the electricity connection need to be in my name?

The application is made against a valid electricity connection for the house, identified by its consumer account number. If the connection is in another family member’s name, the application is normally made in that name. We check this with you before applying.

Can housing societies apply?

Yes. Group housing societies and RWAs have their own component, with ₹18,000 per kW for common facilities up to 500 kW.

Who can apply

You are an Indian citizen.
You own the house, and its roof is suitable for solar panels.
The house has a valid electricity connection in your name.
You have not already received a government subsidy for rooftop solar.

What to keep ready

Electricity bill / consumer account number

The portal fetches your connection details from your DISCOM using the consumer account number printed on your bill.

Mobile number

Registration on the national portal is done with your mobile number and an OTP.

Bank account details

The subsidy is credited straight to your bank account after commissioning.

Government name proof (if asked)

Since September 2026 the portal may ask for an undertaking and a name proof such as Aadhaar or a Voter ID when your application details do not match closely enough.

The portal can ask for more during the application. As your vendor, we tell you exactly what is needed at each stage and upload the installation details ourselves.

Is your roof suitable?

A roof is suitable when it has enough shade-free area for the panels and can carry the mounting structure. As a rough guide, the national portal suggests 1–2 kW for homes using up to 150 units a month, 2–3 kW for 150–300 units, and above 3 kW beyond that. We confirm usable area, shade and structure at the site survey before you commit.
