Customers may now install solar panels with a 60% discount according to the indian government's "Surya Ghar Yojana." Learn how to put solar panels on the roof of your house to significantly reduce your power costs.
 
With its ambitious 'Surya Ghar Yojana' initiative, the indian government has made a significant step to encourage the installation of solar panels. A 3 kW solar panel system may now be installed on your home's roof for just ₹1,800 thanks to this program. This action was done to support renewable energy sources and lower citizens' power costs.
 

Objective and benefits of 'Surya Ghar Yojana'
Promoting the use of solar energy is the primary goal of the indian government's "Surya Ghar Yojana." This gives people the chance to install solar panels at a reasonable cost, which will help protect the environment in addition to lowering their power bill. With the help of this program, residents may transition to using solar energy, eventually using it to meet all of their electrical needs.
 

3kW Solar Panel System Cost and Subsidy
A 3 kW solar panel system typically costs around ₹1,80,000 in total. However, the government is offering a 60% discount under the "Surya Ghar Yojana," which means that customers may purchase the system for just ₹1,800. The method is transparent because this subsidy is sent straight to the customers' bank accounts. As a result, installing solar panels is now more accessible and reasonably priced.
 

Potential savings on electricity bills
360–450 units of power may be produced monthly with a 3 kW solar panel system, which produces 12–15 units on average per day. The power produced by the solar panel can cover the customer's whole electricity needs if their monthly use falls within this range. In this scenario, the customer can save for years because their power cost maybe $0 or very cheap.

Application Process
The 'Surya Ghar Yojana' offers a very easy online application process for solar panel installation. First, interested customers can register by going to the "Surya Ghar Yojana" official website. Following registration, the customer must provide the necessary details, including name, address, and electrical connection number. After that, they may choose from among the approved local suppliers of solar panel installation services. Once the subsidy has been authorized, the customer must next finish the installation procedure from the chosen vendor.


Types of solar panels and benefits of installation

There are mainly two types of solar panels:

Monocrystalline solar panels - These panels are highly efficient and produce more power in less space, but they cost a little more.
Polycrystalline solar panels - These panels are lower cost, but their efficiency is lower than monocrystalline panels.
Solar panel installation has many benefits, such as reduced electricity bills, and environmental protection, and it proves to be a long-term investment. The average lifespan of a solar panel is 25 years, making it a long-term profitable investment.
