Does the Subsidy Apply to Off-Grid Systems?
No. The PM Surya Ghar subsidy applies only to on-grid (grid-tied) residential rooftop systems. Off-grid and hybrid systems are generally not eligible.
If you need a system for a farm or remote location without reliable grid power, you’ll need an off-grid or hybrid system — no subsidy, but full power independence. See: Off-Grid Solar in Wayanad.
Example: 3kW System with Subsidy
| Without Subsidy | With Subsidy | |
|---|---|---|
| System Cost | ~₹2,00,000 | ~₹2,00,000 |
| Subsidy | — | -₹78,000 |
| You Pay | ₹2,00,000 | ₹1,22,000 |
| Monthly Saving | ~₹3,000 | ~₹3,000 |
| Payback Period | ~5.5 years | ~3.4 years |
The subsidy dramatically shortens your payback period — making solar an excellent investment.
