PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is a flagship program of the Government of India launched to promote rooftop solar adoption among residential consumers. The scheme aims to provide financial assistance to households installing grid-connected rooftop solar systems, making solar energy accessible to middle-class families.
Uttar Pradesh has enhanced the central government subsidies with additional state support, making it one of the best states in India for solar installation. Residents of Lucknow, Varanasi, and other UP cities can save Rs 15,000-30,000 more compared to other states.
