What is the solar subsidy policy?

Global warming is a significant problem for the worldwide community, as it has a significant impact on the global environment. In order to meet this issue, the Indian government has set a target of 40% renewable energy generation by 2030. For that, the government of India has taken a highly progressive step in the direction of democratizing rooftop solar across Indian homes and residential sector.

A Surya Gujarat Portal Scheme (https://www.suryagujarat.guvnl.in) for Rooftop Solar was launched last year. On this portal, any residential consumer from any part of the state of Gujarat can benefit up to 40% from subsidy. So, consumer needs to pay lesser money of the actual cost of the system.

Solar Rooftop Subsidy Price in Gujarat

The subsidy benefit through this Surya Gujarat portal is common for the entire State across all Districts; be it south, north, or western Gujarat includes all DisComs UGVCL, DGVCL, PGVCL, MGVCL, Torrent Ahmedabad & Torrent Surat.

Subsidy for Residential Consumer :- Subsidy of 40% shall be available for the Solar rooftop systems up to 3 KW; and 20% for Solar rooftop systems beyond 3 KW up to 10 KW, installed and commissioned by private residential consumers on the approved price discovered through the competitive bidding or benchmark cost Issued by MNRE, whichever is lower.

Subsidy for Common facilities of GHS/RWA :- For Group Housing Society (GHS) / Residential Welfare Association (RWA),the subsidy would also be available at a rate of 20% for solar rooftop system for supply of power to common facilities of that GHS/RWA, on the approved price discovered through the competitive bidding.

The capacity eligible for the subsidy to GHS/RWA will be limited to 10 KW per House and the total shall not exceed 500 KW per GHS/RWA. Common facilities shall include such assets of the GHS/RWA that are built for the use of all its residents such as waterworks, lift, streetlights, gym, swimming pool, garden, etc.

In case of capacity Addition :- The following consumers those who have already installed and commissioned the solar rooftops under the earlier scheme shall also be eligible for the subsidy, provided that

  • The already commissioned system is of capacity less than 10 KW
  • The subsidy shall be eligible only for the incremental capacity @ 40% if the aggregate capacity upon enhancement is not more than 3 KW and @20% if the aggregate capacity of the enhanced system is less than 10 KW.

There are many benefits of rooftop solar depending upon for the kind of solar power solution you adopt. The key benefits are as follows:-

Financial benefits:-

Using solar gives you assured savings over your electricity bills. Minimum savings start with 10 % going up to 40% on your monthly bills. More Savings = More Money = More Earning.

Saving Environment:-

Using Solar system means reducing your power consumption from the grid or in other words your power distribution company (DISCOM). Your DISCOM typically sources power generated from coal or other similar non-renewable energy resources. Therefore, the lesser the consumption of power from the grid, lesser the need for generation and hence lesser the consumption of non-renewable energy resources.

ROI:-

Solar rooftop is an investment and must be treated in the same manner as money invested in a business project, the added pay-off being self-sufficiency in terms of power. Returns from solar power plants vary depending on the type and size of the solution and from location to location reaching up to 50% in some cases. Using solar for your commercial establishment has benefits for owner of premises’ business too.
