Homes in Kerala can claim up to ₹78,000 off a rooftop solar system under the central PM Surya Ghar scheme, paid straight into your bank account after commissioning. We handle the registration, the KSEB paperwork and the claim for every system we install.
PM Surya Ghar is a central government scheme, so the amounts are the same in Malappuram as they are anywhere else in India. It pays ₹30,000 for a 1 kW system, ₹60,000 for 2 kW, and ₹78,000 for anything of 3 kW or above. The ₹78,000 is a hard cap — a 10 kW system receives exactly the same subsidy as a 3 kW one.
That cap is worth understanding before you size a system. It means the subsidy covers a much larger share of a small system than a large one, but it does not mean a 3 kW system is automatically the right choice. Size to your actual consumption first, then treat the subsidy as a discount rather than a target.
The scheme is residential only. If you are putting solar on a shop, an office, a godown or a factory, PM Surya Ghar does not apply — the economics there rest on your commercial tariff instead, which is usually high enough that the system still makes sense.
Beyond that, you need a residential KSEB connection in your own name, a roof you own or have clear permission to use, and a bank account for the transfer. The subsidy is paid once per connection, so a house that has already claimed cannot claim again for an extension.
You register on the national portal at pmsuryaghar.gov.in and apply for feasibility approval from KSEB. Once that clears, the system is installed and inspected, the net meter is fitted, and KSEB issues a commissioning certificate. That certificate plus your bank details is what triggers the payment.
The scheme targets 30 days for the transfer after commissioning. In practice we tell customers to plan for up to around 90 days, because the bottleneck is usually the KSEB inspection and meter change rather than the payment itself. Either way, you pay the full system cost up front and the subsidy arrives afterwards — it is a reimbursement, not a discount at the point of sale.
Up to ₹78,000. The slabs are ₹30,000 for 1 kW, ₹60,000 for 2 kW and ₹78,000 for 3 kW and above. It is a central scheme, so the amount does not change between Malappuram, Kozhikode, Thrissur or anywhere else in Kerala.
No. You pay the full cost of the system, and the subsidy is transferred into your bank account after the system is commissioned and KSEB has issued the certificate. Anyone offering to knock the subsidy off your invoice up front is doing something the scheme does not actually allow.
The scheme targets 30 days from commissioning. Realistically, plan for up to around 90 days — the delay is normally in the KSEB inspection and meter change rather than the payment. We tell customers 90 days so the answer is never a disappointment.
No — PM Surya Ghar is residential only. Commercial and industrial systems do not qualify. That said, commercial solar often has the better payback anyway, because commercial tariffs are higher and the daytime load lines up with when the system is generating.
Yes, for every system we install. We handle the portal registration, the KSEB feasibility application, the net metering agreement and the subsidy claim itself. You sign the forms and provide bank details; we do the running around.
