ANERT Solar Schemes in Kerala — 2025 Guide
ANERT is Kerala's state renewable energy implementation agency. Learn about ANERT-coordinated solar schemes and how FGE Solar helps you access them.
Kerala's State Renewable Energy Agency
ANERT (Agency for Non-conventional Energy and Rural Technology) operates under the Kerala Energy Department and implements renewable energy programs across the state. It coordinates central government schemes like PM Surya Ghar, runs state-level programs, and promotes solar adoption through awareness and facilitation.
ANERT's work spans rooftop solar, solar water heating, off-grid rural electrification, solar street lighting, and renewable energy education. For individual homeowners, ANERT's most direct relevance is its role as Kerala's PM Surya Ghar State Implementation Agency and its periodic solar water heater subsidy programs.
ANERT as State Implementation Agency
For PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, ANERT serves as the State Implementation Agency (SIA) in Kerala. This means all subsidy processing, MNRE empanelment coordination, and scheme monitoring goes through ANERT's framework. FGE Solar, as an MNRE-empanelled installer, works directly within this official process.
Current ANERT Solar Programs in Kerala
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana
ANERT coordinates PM Surya Ghar implementation in Kerala — ensuring MNRE-empanelled installers, subsidy portal processing, and KSEB coordination. This is the primary solar subsidy available to Kerala homeowners, providing up to ₹78,000 for 3kW systems. FGE Solar manages the complete application through the official ANERT-monitored process.
Solar Rooftop for Government Buildings
ANERT facilitates solar installation for government offices, schools, hospitals, and panchayat buildings under state and central funding programs. These are typically tendered projects. Educational institutions and local bodies can contact ANERT directly for scheme eligibility.
Solar Street Lighting Program
ANERT implements solar street lighting programs for rural panchayats and local bodies — reducing municipal electricity costs while improving village lighting. Panchayats and municipalities can apply through ANERT for funded solar street light installations.
Off-Grid Tribal Electrification
Solar electrification of remote tribal hamlets and forest-fringe settlements not connected to the KSEB grid. Special provisions under state welfare and social development programs. FGE Solar has experience in tribal area solar installations in Wayanad and Idukki.
FGE Solar Is ANERT-Compatible — MNRE Empanelled
FGE Solar holds MNRE empanelment — the same certification ANERT requires for all installers under PM Surya Ghar and other central schemes. This means subsidy claims through FGE Solar are processed through official ANERT-monitored channels, ensuring your subsidy reaches you without complications.
