1. What is the surya Ghar Yojana?

· The PM surya Ghar Yojana is a government initiative aimed at promoting rooftop solar panels in residential flats and houses.

· The goal is to reduce electricity bills, support renewable energy adoption, and make homes more sustainable.

· Eligible households can get subsidies on solar panel installation, making the switch more affordable.

💡 Insight: This scheme is especially beneficial in sunny regions, where solar generation is high year-round.

2. How Many Solar Panels Do You Need for 300 Units?

· A “unit” in electricity terms is 1 kWh. So, 300 units mean 300 kWh per month.

· Typical rooftop solar panels generate around 250–400 watts per panel. Assuming 5 hours of effective sunlight per day, one panel (~300W) can produce roughly 45 kWh per month.

Calculation:

· 1 panel → 45 kWh/month

· 300 kWh ÷ 45 kWh ≈ 7 panels

✅ Conclusion: For a flat to generate 300 units monthly, you would need approximately 7 rooftop solar panels of 300W each, depending on sunlight availability.

3. Subsidy and Benefits

· The government provides 30–40% subsidy on rooftop solar panel installation for residential flats under the scheme.

· Net metering allows you to feed extra electricity back to the grid, reducing your monthly bill further.

· Besides financial benefits, you also reduce your carbon footprint significantly.

4. Eligibility Criteria

· Applicable for all residential flats and houses.

· The rooftop area must be sufficient to install the required number of solar panels.

· Applicants need to register with the local electricity distribution company under the surya Ghar Yojana.

5. Steps to Apply

1. Check your flat’s rooftop space for panel installation.

2. Visit the official surya Ghar Yojana portal and fill out the registration form.

3. Submit required documents like Aadhaar, electricity bill, and ownership proof.

4. Get government approval and subsidy.

5. Install the panels with a certified solar installer.

Final Takeaway

· Installing around 7 panels of 300W each can help your flat get approximately 300 units of free electricity per month.

· surya Ghar Yojana is a win-win: you save on bills, contribute to clean energy, and make your home eco-friendly.
