Rising electricity bills and frequent tariff hikes have made rooftop solar one of the smartest investments an Odisha homeowner can make in 2026. With the Government of India’s PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, that investment now comes with a substantial subsidy — and for residents of Bhubaneswar, Rourkela, and surrounding areas, Alfa India is here to make the process simple from application to activation.
Launched to bring free electricity to 1 crore households across India, PM Surya Ghar Yojana offers direct financial subsidy for installing grid-connected rooftop solar systems on residential properties. The scheme aims to reduce dependence on grid power, cut household electricity bills to near zero, and accelerate India’s shift to clean energy — one rooftop at a time.
The subsidy amount scales with your system size:
| System Size | Subsidy Amount |
|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹30,000 |
| 2 kW | ₹60,000 |
| 3 kW and above | ₹78,000 (capped) |
For a typical Odisha household consuming 200–300 units/month, a 2–3 kW system is usually sufficient to bring the electricity bill down to near zero, with payback typically achieved well within the system’s 25-year lifespan.
Before applying, check that you meet these basic criteria:
Beyond the subsidy, rooftop solar protects you against future tariff hikes, adds value to your property, and reduces your household’s carbon footprint. With net-metering, any surplus power you generate is credited back — meaning your system keeps paying you back long after the subsidy is disbursed.
Alfa India’s team can handle your entire PM Surya Ghar Yojana journey — from eligibility check to a fully commissioned, subsidy-approved rooftop solar system.
