Everything you need to know about rooftop solar and CM Surya Ghar Yojana.
CM Surya Ghar Yojana is a government initiative to promote rooftop solar installations in West Bengal. The scheme provides substantial subsidies of up to ?78,000 for residential consumers installing solar panels on their rooftops, making solar energy more affordable and accessible.
Under CM Surya Ghar Yojana, you can get ?30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ?18,000 per kW for additional capacity above 2 kW. The maximum subsidy is ?78,000 for a 3 kW system.
The total cost varies based on system capacity. On average, a 1 kW system costs around ?70,000. After subsidy, a 3 kW system costing approximately ?2,10,000 comes down to ?1,32,000 after ?78,000 subsidy.
The complete process typically takes 60�90 days from application to subsidy disbursement including registration, site survey, approval, installation, inspection, and subsidy transfer.
Required documents include Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, property ownership documents, latest electricity bill with consumer number, Aadhaar-linked bank details, passport photographs, and roof ownership certificate.

Quality solar panels typically last 25�30 years and come with a 25-year performance warranty ensuring about 80% efficiency after 25 years.
You can save up to 90% on electricity bills depending on consumption and system size. A 3 kW system generates roughly 360�450 units per month.
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Cleaning every 2�3 months and periodic inspection ensures optimal performance.
The subsidy is credited directly to your Aadhaar-linked bank account typically within 30�45 days after installation and verification.
