PM Surya Ghar Muft Yojana
Empowering Indian households with clean energy. Install rooftop solar panels, significantly reduce your electricity bills, and benefit from substantial government subsidies designed to make renewable energy accessible to all.
Scheme Overview
The PM Surya Ghar Muft Yojana is a transformative initiative aimed at illuminating millions of homes across India with free electricity. By encouraging the adoption of grid-connected rooftop solar systems, the scheme not only reduces the financial burden on middle and lower-income families but also promotes environmental sustainability.
Through structured Central Financial Assistance (CFA), the government directly subsidizes the capital cost of installation, ensuring a rapid return on investment. Solar Power Vistar is committed to facilitating this transition for cooperative members, providing end-to-end support from application to commissioning.

Myths vs. Facts
Clearing the air around rooftop solar and government subsidies.
“The subsidy takes years to process.”
With the new National Portal, subsidies are credited directly to your bank account within 30 days of project commissioning and inspection.
“I have to pay the vendor the full amount first.”
While some vendors require full payment, our cooperative model and bank tie-ups allow you to finance the net cost with zero upfront investment.
“I can claim subsidy on any solar panel.”
The subsidy is ONLY applicable if you use Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) panels from an ALMM-approved list installed by registered vendors like us.
