जानिए 2025 में भारत में residential rooftop solar per kW subsidy state-wise कैसे मिलती है — central subsidy + state incentives, examples, eligibility, application process पूरे विवरण के साथ।
🟩 1. परिचय – Subsidy क्यों जानना जरूरी है?
भारत में rooftop solar installation पर PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana जैसे केंद्र सरकार के योजनाओं के साथ-साथ कई राज्यों में state-level incentives भी दिए जा रहे हैं ताकि residential users बिजली बिल और upfront solar system cost को कम कर सकें.
Central subsidy सभी राज्यों में लगभग uniform है — पर कुछ states में additional state subsidies, rebates, tax waivers या extra incentives मिल सकते हैं, जिससे total subsidy per kW aur bhi zyada beneficial बन सकती है.
🟩 2. Central Rooftop Solar Subsidy – Base Framework (2025)
पहले आधार समझ लेते हैं — केंद्रीय सब्सिडी residential rooftop solar systems पर:
💡 PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana के तहत central subsidy rates:
- ₹30,000 per kW up to 2 kW
- ₹18,000 per kW for the next 1 kW (i.e., for 3 kW)
- Total subsidy capped at ₹78,000 for systems larger than 3 kW (including up to 10 kW)
➡ भरपूर sunlight वाले घरों के लिए 1–2 kW systems पर central subsidy ₹30,000 per kW तक मिलती है, जबकि एक बार 3 kW तक पहुँचने पर कुल अधिकतम ₹78,000 subsidy की सीमा ही लागू होती है.
