The new subsidy rates (benchmark CFA rates) will be applicable for all claims submitted on the online National Portal for Rooftop Solar.

The new rates have been announced by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) under the Rooftop Solar Scheme (Phase – II) and residential customers under different categories. As per the MNRE guidelines, the new rates shall be applicable for applications received on the National Portal for Rooftop Solar or for solar systems installed through the tender mode.

For special category states, the central solar subsidy for residential consumers for rooftop solar systems between 1-3kWp shall be Rs 20,000/kW and for systems between 4-10kW, the new subsidy shall be Rs 10,000/kW.

Following are the special states:

Uttarakhand & Himachal Pradesh
Assam and All North East States
Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir
Lakshadeep, and Andaman & Nicobar

For RWAs/ Group Housing Societies, for common facilities upto 500kW, but with a ceiling of 10kWp per household, now the revised solar subsidy rate shall be Rs 9,000/kWp for general states and Rs 10,000/kWp for special states.

The respective DISCOMs shall continue to be the implementing agencies. The residential consumers can choose only the empaneled vendors for their solar systems to avail of this subsidy benefit.

It is important to note that any state-level solar subsidy e.g. upto Rs 30,000 in Uttar Pradesh shall be over and above the central subsidy. This means that a residential consumer in Uttar Pradesh can now get a maximum solar subsidy of Rs 1,47,000 for a 10kW or higher capacity solar system.

So if you are living in Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Panipat, or any part of Haryana, then the maximum solar subsidy can be Rs 1.17 Lacs. However, if you reside in Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Lucknow, Kanpur, Meerut, or any part of Uttar Pradesh, then you can get a maximum solar subsidy of Rs 1.47 Lacs.

*Please note that the central subsidy and Uttar Pradesh additional solar subsidy rates mentioned above are applicable as of date and these may change from time to time.
