🎯 Purpose of the Scheme
The main objectives of this scheme are:
- To promote the adoption of clean and renewable energy.
- To make 1 crore households energy self-reliant.
- To reduce dependency on traditional electricity sources.
- To reduce household electricity bills permanently.
- To support India’s goal of achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2070.
⚡ How 300 Units Become Free?
When you install a solar rooftop panel, it starts generating electricity using sunlight. This solar electricity is used to power your home appliances. Any excess electricity is sent back to the grid (net-metering), and the DISCOM deducts those units from your monthly bill.
With the solar system producing enough energy, your household ends up using little or no electricity from the grid, making your monthly usage effectively free up to 300 units.
✅ The government also gives a subsidy of up to ₹78,000, so you can install the system at a reduced cost.
