Solar Subsidy Schemes in India, Explained

Central and state solar subsidy schemes in India change periodically, so the specific numbers are worth confirming directly before you budget around them — but the general structure has stayed fairly consistent.

Residential rooftop subsidies are typically tiered by system size, with a higher subsidy percentage on the first few kW and a lower (or no) subsidy beyond a certain capacity.

Applications usually route through a government portal and require an empanelled installer, along with documentation like your electricity connection details and property ownership proof.

Processing times vary by state and season — applying early in the financial year, before scheme budgets are exhausted, generally leads to faster approval.
