PM Surya Ghar subsidy in Chhattisgarh
Households supplied by CSPDCL can combine the central PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana subsidy with additional assistance from the Chhattisgarh government. Here is what you can get, who is eligible and how the process works with an empanelled vendor.
How much subsidy you can get
The central government pays a fixed amount depending on the size of your rooftop system:
| System size | Central subsidy |
|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹30,000 |
| 2 kW | ₹60,000 |
| 3 kW and above | ₹78,000 (maximum) |
On top of this, the Chhattisgarh government has approved additional state assistance of up to ₹30,000 for domestic consumers, routed through CSPDCL. For a 3 kW system, that means combined support of up to ₹1,08,000. The exact state amount depends on system size.
Subsidy amounts are set by the government and can change. Check the latest figures on the official PM Surya Ghar portal before you apply.
Who is eligible
- A residential household in Chhattisgarh with a domestic electricity connection from CSPDCL in the applicant's name
- A roof with enough shade-free space for the panels (roughly 10 square metres, about 100 sq ft, per kW)
- No subsidy already received for rooftop solar on the same connection
What size system do you need?
Size the system to your monthly electricity use. Your CSPDCL bill shows the units you consume each month:
| Monthly consumption | Suggested size |
|---|---|
| Up to 150 units | 1–2 kW |
| 150–300 units | 2–3 kW |
| Above 300 units | Above 3 kW |
Because the central subsidy is capped at 3 kW, a 3 kW system gets the maximum subsidy for most homes. Larger homes can install more, and only the first 3 kW count towards the subsidy.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get both the central and the Chhattisgarh subsidy?
Yes. Eligible domestic consumers of CSPDCL can receive the central PM Surya Ghar subsidy (up to ₹78,000) and the additional Chhattisgarh state assistance (up to ₹30,000) for the same rooftop system. Both depend on meeting the scheme conditions, so confirm current figures before you apply.
Do I have to pay the full cost first?
Usually yes. You pay for the system, and the subsidy is released to your bank account after the system is installed, inspected and commissioned. Banks also offer loans for rooftop solar under the scheme, which we can explain when you request a quote.
Is the subsidy available for shops, offices or factories?
No. PM Surya Ghar is only for residential households with a domestic connection. Commercial and industrial rooftop solar is still a good investment because of the electricity it saves, but it does not get this subsidy.
Why does the vendor need to be empanelled?
The subsidy is only released for systems installed by a vendor registered for your DISCOM under the scheme. Solflip Solutions is empanelled with CSPDCL, so systems we install for eligible CSPDCL consumers qualify.
