Understanding PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana: A Homeowner's Guide

PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is the central government's flagship rooftop solar subsidy scheme, offering direct financial support to households that install a grid-tied rooftop system. For most homes, the subsidy covers a meaningful share of system cost, with the exact amount scaling to system size.

Eligibility is broad: any homeowner with a suitable roof and a sanctioned electricity connection can apply. The process runs through a few clear stages — rooftop inspection, application and documentation, installation and commissioning, and net metering setup — before the subsidy is credited directly to the applicant's bank account.

The scheme also unlocks free electricity up to a monthly unit threshold once net metering is active, on top of the upfront subsidy. Aumplus handles the paperwork end-to-end for every rooftop installation we deliver, so homeowners don't have to navigate the application separately.
