Frequently asked.
Do I get ₹94,800 subsidy on a 4 kW or 5 kW rooftop?
Potentially yes, if the residential system qualifies. The combined subsidy is capped at the 3 kW level; adding capacity beyond 3 kW does not increase this subsidy.
Is the amount ₹78,000 or ₹94,800?
₹78,000 is the general-state maximum central CFA. J&K is a special-category UT with a ₹85,800 central maximum, and the J&K UT top-up can add ₹9,000 subject to eligibility.
Can I use Non-DCR panels and still get PM Surya Ghar subsidy?
No. The scheme requires eligible domestic-content-compliant cells and modules for central subsidy.
Does solar mean exactly zero electricity bill?
Not necessarily. Fixed charges, usage patterns, lower output, tariffs and net-metering terms can affect the remaining bill.
