Rooftop solar subsidy: understand what you may receive.

The first 2 kW receive ₹30,000 per kW; the next 1 kW receives ₹18,000 per kW. Capacity above 3 kW does not add central CFA. These examples assume a new, fully eligible residential installation, not an extension of a previously subsidised system.

The combined column applies only where both central and UP conditions are met. It is not a discount, quotation or net system price.

UPNEDA material supports ₹15,000 per kW, capped at ₹30,000 per eligible residential consumer, in addition to central CFA. Its published process says state subsidy follows central CFA disbursal and receipt of the MNRE/REC release list. Keep your application and commissioning records, and track the official process.

Delhi's 17 September 2026 amendment changes residential capital support and generation-based incentives. Its state portal ties support to capacity, a bidding-linked cost limit and the applicable installation route. Existing and new installations can be treated differently. Confirm the commissioning/net-meter date and current process with your DISCOM before relying on a figure.

• A relevant residential electricity connection and valid consumer account; this household CFA is not a commercial subsidy.
• An eligible National Portal application and registered vendor; a written design and contract still matter.
• Grid-connected installation with applicable technical and metering conditions. Eligible elevated structures and approved shared metering have specific provisions.
• DCR, current equipment requirements, installation records and DISCOM inspection/commissioning.
• Prior subsidy, system extensions or relocation need separate checks. Provide correct bank or loan-account details.

Ask for exact model numbers, module serial records and the vendor's documentary basis for scheme compliance. Lists and transition exceptions change; neither a brand name nor a historic screenshot proves current eligibility.

1. Apply with the right connection

   Use the National Portal with the correct state, DISCOM and consumer details. Keep control of your account.

2. Resolve the local process and vendor

   Follow the applicable feasibility route. Guidelines provide deemed acceptance up to 10 kW; check how your utility implements it. Choose a registered vendor and agree written terms.

3. Install and record

   Complete compliant installation, safety checks, equipment records and required photographs. Review the portal entries.

4. Meter, inspect and commission

   The DISCOM completes applicable metering/agreement and inspection steps. Resolve corrections; installation alone does not approve CFA.

5. Validate the account and claim

   Provide the correct bank/loan account and documents. Loan-funded systems may receive CFA into the loan account. Complete the current redemption steps.

6. Central payment, then eligible state processing

   Track the official status. UP's state process depends on central release information. No guaranteed payment date is promised here.

Before release, check that your application identity, equipment details, DISCOM completion and payment-account documents agree. Keep the full installed price separate from a future grant. The installation process shows where these steps sit in the whole project.

Dates show when the source was reviewed, not a promise that rules will remain unchanged. The National Portal blocked automated access during research; use its direct link or your DISCOM for a live application check.
