What you get
Support is paid directly into your bank account after commissioning, and it scales with system size. Here's how the slabs break down for an individual household connection.
For the first 2 kW
Applies to the initial capacity of any residential system.
For the next kW, up to 3 kW
Added on top of the first-slab support for the additional capacity.
Ceiling for systems above 3 kW
Total support does not increase further beyond this size.
Apartment complexes and resident associations can claim ₹18,000 per kW for shared infrastructure, including EV charging points, up to a combined capacity of 500 kW (calculated at 3 kW per housing unit).
Kerala qualifies as a special-category state for this scheme, which typically adds a further 10% to the applicable subsidy — our team confirms the exact figure at the time you apply.
| Monthly usage (units) | Recommended capacity |
|---|---|
| 0 – 150 | 1 – 2 kW |
| 150 – 300 | 2 – 3 kW |
| Above 300 | Above 3 kW |
