# What is the PM Surya Ghar free electricity scheme?



## Answers

### Answer by Janne Virtanen

PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, launched in February 2024, aims to install rooftop solar panels on one crore homes. Households can get up to 300 units of free electricity a month by generating their own solar power.

The government gives a subsidy, up to ₹78,000 for systems of 3 kW and above, and banks offer low-interest loans for the rest. Extra electricity can be sold back to the grid. You can apply on the official PM Surya Ghar portal, where registered vendors are listed.
