Find out how much rooftop solar subsidy you're eligible for under PM Surya Ghar, how the BESCOM application and net-metering process works, what documents you need, and how TerraEnerG manages the process end-to-end.
Updated August 2026 · Based on PM Surya Ghar scheme guidelines
Under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, residential consumers with a BESCOM domestic electricity connection can receive Central Financial Assistance (CFA) toward a grid-connected rooftop solar system.
For standard residential installations, the subsidy is calculated as:
A 3 kW (or larger) installation qualifies for the maximum central subsidy of ₹78,000.
Worked example: the ₹78,000 subsidy is deducted from your total project cost, directly reducing what you pay upfront. See our rooftop solar cost breakdown for Bangalore for current system-wise pricing and your effective cost after subsidy.
| Solar System Size | Central Subsidy |
|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹30,000 |
| 2 kW | ₹60,000 |
| 3 kW | ₹78,000 |
| Above 3 kW | ₹78,000 max |
Indicative Central Financial Assistance under the PM Surya Ghar scheme. Final eligibility and subsidy release are confirmed through the PM Surya Ghar portal and BESCOM's verification process.
PM Surya Ghar supports residential consumers installing grid-connected rooftop solar. In Bangalore, this generally means:
You are an Indian citizen
You have a valid Permanent BESCOM domestic electricity connection
You own a house with a adequate roof-top and shadow-free area for the proposed system size
You have not already availed another subsidy for the same solar installation
The installation is carried out by a scheme-empanelled vendor — TerraEnerG is a PM Surya Ghar empanelled vendor in Bangalore
Final eligibility is confirmed during your PM Surya Ghar portal application and BESCOM's site verification.
Start your rooftop solar application on the national PM Surya Ghar portal using your BESCOM consumer details.
Select an empanelled rooftop solar vendor — like TerraEnerG — and finalise your system design and quotation.
Your system is installed to PM Surya Ghar's technical standards and BESCOM's grid-connection requirements.
BESCOM carries out inspection, meter installation, and commissioning before your system goes live on net metering. Based on our completed installations, this step typically takes 1–2 weeks from the end of installation.
Once BESCOM commissioning is confirmed and your subsidy claim is submitted, the eligible CFA is credited to your registered bank account through the PM Surya Ghar portal — typically within 30 days of commissioning being confirmed.
Keep these documents ready in advance. TerraEnerG will confirm exactly what's required for your specific installation and application.

PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is the Government of India's rooftop solar scheme for residential consumers installing grid-connected rooftop solar systems, offering Central Financial Assistance to reduce upfront cost.
For a standard residential installation, the maximum Central Financial Assistance is ₹78,000, based on the first 3 kW of installed rooftop solar capacity.
A 3 kW residential rooftop solar system qualifies for the full ₹78,000 Central Financial Assistance, provided the installation meets PM Surya Ghar and BESCOM requirements.
No. The central subsidy structure caps out at 3 kW. Capacity beyond 3 kW does not receive additional Central Financial Assistance, though it can still be installed if your consumption and roof area support it.
Yes. TerraEnerG is an empanelled PM Surya Ghar vendor in Bangalore and manages the subsidy application, required documentation, and BESCOM net-metering coordination as part of every installation.
The subsidy reduces the effective cost of an eligible rooftop solar installation, but it is released through the PM Surya Ghar process after the required installation, commissioning and subsidy-claim steps are completed. It should not be treated as an automatic deduction from the initial payment to the installer.
