Who Is Eligible for the PM Surya Ghar Subsidy?
You are eligible if you are an Indian resident, own a residential property with rights to the roof, and have an active electricity connection in your name. You also need about 100 to 133 sq ft of shade-free roof for every kW. Housing societies can apply for common areas, but individual flat owners cannot apply on their own.
Which Documents Do I Need to Apply?
- You need your Aadhaar card.
- You need your latest electricity bill.
- You need bank account details linked to Aadhaar.
- You need proof of property ownership.
- You need a passport-size photo.
How Do I Apply for the PM Surya Ghar Subsidy?
- Register on pmsuryaghar.gov.in with your electricity consumer number and Aadhaar.
- Submit your roof details and choose a registered vendor such as SolarSpot.
- The vendor surveys the roof and installs the system with approved DCR panels.
- The DISCOM inspects the system and installs the net meter.
- The commissioning certificate is uploaded on the portal.
- The subsidy is paid by direct bank transfer, usually within a month.
Why Do PM Surya Ghar Applications Get Rejected?
Common reasons are mismatched names across documents, a wrong consumer number, an unregistered installer, and bank details that are not linked to Aadhaar. SolarSpot checks these details before you apply.
