PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana —
Complete Kerala Guide 2025
Everything you need to know about the ₹78,000 solar subsidy — eligibility, application process, and how FGE handles it for you.
What is PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is the Government of India's flagship rooftop solar scheme, launched in February 2024 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The scheme aims to install solar panels on 1 crore homes across India, providing free electricity and direct subsidy to eligible homeowners. With a total outlay of ₹75,021 crore, this is the largest residential solar initiative in Indian history — and Kerala homeowners are among the biggest beneficiaries.
For Kerala residents, this is the most financially significant solar scheme ever launched. The government directly transfers the subsidy — up to ₹78,000 — into your bank account after installation is complete. It's not a loan. It's not a discount. It's real money in your account. Combined with KSEB's net metering, most Kerala homeowners see their solar system pay for itself in under 4 years — and then generate savings for 25 years more.
How Much Subsidy Will You Get?
The Central Financial Assistance (CFA) is structured by system size. Here's exactly what you'll receive:
| System Size | Subsidy Amount |
|---|---|
| Up to 2 kW | ₹30,000 |
| 2 kW – 3 kW | ₹60,000 |
| 3 kW and above | ₹78,000 (maximum) |
₹78,000 goes directly into your bank account — not discounted from invoice. Real money, real bank transfer. Not a voucher, not a credit note. Directly into the account you register on the portal.
