Government Schemes & Financing – Making Solar Affordable for Every Indian

At Luminor Solar, we believe that clean energy should be accessible and affordable for everyone. To make this a reality, the Indian government offers solar subsidies, financing options, and tax benefits to encourage the adoption of rooftop solar systems for homes, businesses, and agricultural use.

Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or farmer, there are multiple ways to reduce the cost of your solar installation through government schemes, easy EMI plans, and tax incentives.

1. Government Solar Subsidy in India – PM Surya Ghar Yojana

The Indian government provides financial assistance to homeowners through the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (Rooftop Solar Subsidy Scheme). This initiative allows residential consumers to install solar panels at a lower cost and benefit from reduced electricity bills.

Subsidy Rates for Residential Solar Systems

  • Up to 3 kW system → 40% subsidy
  • Above 3 kW up to 10 kW → 20% subsidy
  • Above 10 kW → No subsidy, but full net metering benefits apply

Example: If you install a 3 kW solar system costing ₹1.5 lakh, the government will cover ₹60,000, reducing your total cost to just ₹90,000!

How to Apply for a Solar Subsidy?

Applying for the subsidy is simple:

  • Visit the National Portal for Rooftop Solar
  • Register and submit your solar installation details.
  • Get approval from your local electricity provider.
  • Install the solar system through an approved vendor like Luminor Solar.
  • Receive the subsidy amount directly into your bank account after verification.

3. Net Metering – Earn from Your Solar System!

With Net Metering, you can sell excess solar power back to the electricity grid and receive credits on your bill. This means:

  • Use solar power for free during the day.
  • Send extra power to the grid and earn credits.
  • Lower your electricity bill by up to 90%.

Example: If your solar system generates more electricity than your home consumes, your electricity provider will buy the extra power from you, reducing your bill even further!
