PM Surya Ghar Yojana: Can Consumers Avail Multiple Subsidies?

A frequently asked question regarding the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is whether a consumer can claim multiple subsidies if they hold more than one electricity connection (K.No.) under their name.

Yes! According to the scheme guidelines, subsidy eligibility is linked to the electricity connection (K.No.), which acts as a unique identifier. This means that if a consumer has multiple electricity connections across different properties, they can avail subsidies separately for each connection.

Why is this Important?

• Encourages wider adoption: Promotes the use of rooftop solar across multiple residential properties.
• Maximizes government support: Allows individual property owners to fully benefit from available incentives for solar installations.
• Boosts solar penetration: Increases solar adoption in urban and rural areas, reducing dependency on grid power.

This clarification is crucial for consumers planning solar installations across multiple locations, ensuring they can fully benefit from the incentives offered under this ambitious initiative.
