Frequently asked questions

How much subsidy do I get for a 3 kW rooftop solar system in Uttar Pradesh?

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, Uttar Pradesh included. This is credited to your bank account (DBT) after commissioning and successful net-meter installation. UPPCL (Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd) handles the Uttar Pradesh side of net-metering approval.

Does Uttar Pradesh offer an extra state top-up on top of PM-Surya Ghar?

Uttar Pradesh residents primarily receive the central PM-Surya Ghar subsidy (up to ₹78,000 for a 3 kW system). Some states run additional programmes with variable top-ups — the position changes yearly. Confirm the current top-up with UPPCL (Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd) or on the state's energy department website before signing an installer's quote.

How long after installation does the subsidy hit my bank?

In Uttar Pradesh, dealers typically report subsidy DBT credit within 60 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 Uttar Pradesh installer for their bank tie-up — most offer parallel EMI processing.

Which installer should I pick in Uttar Pradesh?

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.
