Get benefits of MNRE solar subisidy for a sustainable future.

As the world faces a serious energy shortage, we're working hard to find new ways to get energy. One of the best options we're exploring is renewable energy, like solar power. To encourage people to use solar energy, the Indian government gives rewards, called subsidies, for installing solar panels. Let's talk about these subsidies specifically for solar panels in Kerala.

The MNRE solar rooftop subsidy is for on-grid solar systems. These panels must be made entirely in India, including the solar cells inside them. This means only solar panels made in India can get the MNRE subsidy . Also, only installers approved by KSEB can offer products under this subsidy. The subsidy amount needs to be paid in full when you install the system. Afterward, the subsidy will be added to your account within 30 days.

Here's a quick overview of the solar panel subsidy in Kerala

IFor solar systems up to 3 kW, the subsidy rate is Rs 14,588 per kW. So, if you install a 3 kW solar system, you'll get a total subsidy of Rs 43,764.

For installations over 3 kW, the subsidy amount is Rs 7,294 per kW. This means that for each additional 1 kW beyond the 3 kW limit, a subsidy of Rs 7,294 will be provided. For instance, the total subsidy for a 5 kW system would be Rs 58,352.

Similarly, for an 8 kW system, the total subsidy would be Rs 80,234, and for a 10 kW system, it would be Rs 94,822.

It's important to note that these rates may be subject to change based on any updates or revisions to the MNRE subsidy program rules.
