The Government of India is constantly promoting the use of renewable energy sources like solar energy. For this, the Solar Rooftop Subsidy Scheme has also been introduced, which is being regarded as a significant effort of the Government of India.
The central government's scheme encourages the use of renewable energy throughout the country. This scheme provides consumers with a subsidy on installation of solar panels on rooftop.
Free electricity for 20 years
If you install solar panels on the roof of your house, you can reduce your electricity costs by 30 to 50 percent. The solar rooftop will provide electricity for 25 years and in this solar rooftop subsidy scheme, the expenses will be paid in 5-6 years. After this, you will get the benefit of free electricity from solar for the next 19-20 years.
Space for one kilowatt of solar power
For one kilowatt of solar power, about 10 square meters of space will be required. 40% subsidy will be provided for solar rooftop plants up to 3 KV.
After 3 KV, a 20% subsidy will be offered up to 10 KV. The nearest office of the power distribution company can be contacted for this scheme. In addition, you can visit mnre.gov.in for more information.
