Rooftop Solar Subsidy in Gujarat
Residential rooftop solar in Gujarat qualifies for the central PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana subsidy of up to ₹78,000. This guide covers the exact subsidy amounts, DISCOM net-metering process, disbursement timeline, and 8 verified installers you can request a quote from directly.
Central subsidy — PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana
Amount is fixed nationally by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE). Direct benefit transfer (DBT) to your Aadhaar-linked bank account after commissioning.
| System size | Central subsidy | Typical net cost (₹1.6-2.2 L before subsidy) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹30,000 | ₹35,000 – ₹90,000 |
| 2 kW | ₹60,000 | ₹80,000 – ₹1.2 L |
| 3+ kW | ₹78,000 | ₹1.0 – ₹1.4 L |
The subsidy is the same in every state — this table applies verbatim to Gujarat. Your out-of-pocket cost is the vendor quote minus this amount, credited within a few weeks of commissioning.

Frequently asked questions
How much subsidy do I get for a 3 kW rooftop solar system in Gujarat?
The central PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana pays a flat ₹78,000 subsidy for a 3 kW residential rooftop solar system anywhere in India, Gujarat included. This is credited to your bank account (DBT) after commissioning and successful net-meter installation. DGVCL / MGVCL / UGVCL / PGVCL (Gujarat state-wise DISCOMs) handles the Gujarat side of net-metering approval.
Does Gujarat offer an extra state top-up on top of PM-Surya Ghar?
Gujarat previously offered ₹10,000/kW under SURYA Gujarat before PM-Surya Ghar merged the schemes. Confirm current top-up with the local DISCOM.
How long after installation does the subsidy hit my bank?
In Gujarat, dealers typically report subsidy DBT credit within 40 days from commissioning + net-meter approval. This varies with paperwork completeness — subsidy claim, DISCOM sanction letter, plant commissioning certificate, and Aadhaar-seeded bank account must all be in order.
Can I combine the PM-Surya Ghar subsidy with a solar loan?
Yes. Most public sector banks (SBI, Canara, BoB) and NBFCs offer collateral-free solar loans that cover 70-90% of the pre-subsidy system cost at 8-11% p.a., 5-7 year tenure. The subsidy DBT is credited to the same bank account and can be used to prepay the loan without penalty at most banks. Ask your Gujarat installer for their bank tie-up — most offer parallel EMI processing.
Which installer should I pick in Gujarat?
Any MNRE-empanelled vendor (visible on the pmsuryaghar.gov.in vendor list) is eligible to claim the subsidy on your behalf. Compare 2-3 quotes on: panel make (Tier-1 mono-PERC), inverter brand + warranty (min 10 years), mounting structure, and the subsidy paperwork commitment.
