This guide explains everything you need to know.
What is PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (also called PM Surya Ghar or PM Solar Ghar Scheme) is a central government scheme that provides financial subsidies to residential households for installing rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The scheme aims to install rooftop solar on 1 crore households across India by 2026–27.
Under the scheme, households receive free electricity of up to 300 units per month from the solar system. Surplus electricity is exported to the grid through net metering, earning bill credits.

How Much Can You Save with Solar in UP?
A 3 kW solar system in UP generates approximately 360–450 units per month. At UP's average electricity tariff of ₹7/unit, this saves approximately ₹2,500–₹3,150 per month — or ₹30,000–₹37,000 per year. After the subsidy reduces the upfront cost to ₹40,000–₹55,000, the system pays back in under 2 years and then generates free electricity for 22+ more years.
