Schemes
Solar Energy is being propagated throughout the world on large scale of which India stands third after China and USA. Indiahas got the ability to generate over 1900 billion units of solar energy annually. The Government of India is organizing various public awareness programs and schemes withan objective to empower the nation in Renewable Energy. The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission is one of the programs run by the government with the objective to establish India as a global leader in the solar sector by creating the policy conditions. The Mission has set an ambitious target of deploying 20,000 MW of grid-connected solar power by 2022, which was revised to 1,00,000 MW by 2022 during June 2015.

Residential and commercial customers who are paying more than Rs.1,500 as monthly electricity bill should consider installing a grid tied solar net metering system to save their electricity bills by 20% to 30%. Solar PV is a fantastic investment. Returns of 10% plus are available, non-taxable (for individuals), inflation linked and dependent only on the sun coming out. In fact, as our recent blog showed, the cost per kWh of solar electricity is around 8p. Look at the ROI calculator aside for more details
* This is an approx. estimate only
In grid connected solar photo-voltaic system, solar energy is supply in the connected load that are connected to the public electricity grid through a service connection which exports surplus energy into the grid and shortfall being drawn from the grid.Production of surplus energy will happen when solar panel produce extra power than required energy. In this case, the surplus power is fed into the grid. During nights or when the required energy exceeds over solar energy production, it automatically drawn energy from the grid.
In government subsidy scheme, 30% to 90% benchmark cost of your solar system will be paid to customer by government.
No, the rate of subsidy on solar is different from state to state. There is 90% subsidy on solar water pump for farmers, 70% subsidy for hill states (H.P, UK and J&K only) and 30% subsidy available for all states in India.
Government provides subsidy on on grid solar system, hybrid solar system and solar water pump.
The rate of subsidy varies from state to state. Each state have its solar department and different solar policies. Generally government provide 30% to 90% subsidy in India.
Yes, government provides subsidy only for domestic use, social sectors, educational institutes and non-profit organizations. There is no government subsidy for commercial solar system.
In India, all 28 states are providing subsidy on solar system.
It varies as per your state solar policy. But as an average it takes 3 months to 6 months to get credited in your account.
Almost every state has their online portals to apply for subsidy. Or you can contact your state nodal agency.
The subsidy released by the government will directly goes to customers in most of the states. But few states provides subsidy through solar system installation company.
No, in that case you will not get the subsidy. If you want to get the subsidy on your solar system than pre-approval by your state government is must.
No, it will never relate to property tax.
