A practical breakdown of the latest Indian government schemes and subsidies that make solar affordable.
Solar energy is now more accessible in India due to several government incentives, especially under the National Solar Mission and the Rooftop Solar Programme Phase II.
Indian homeowners can receive up to 40% subsidy for rooftop solar systems up to 3 kW, and 20% for systems between 3–10 kW. These subsidies are credited directly to the vendor through the National Portal for Rooftop Solar.
Some states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Delhi provide additional top-up incentives. Policies differ across states, so it's advisable to check the latest with your local electricity distribution company (DISCOM).
Net metering lets you export surplus solar power to the grid. The amount is deducted from your electricity bill or credited, depending on the DISCOM's policy. This greatly reduces monthly expenses.
