The Central Government of India has introduced a major incentive to encourage the adoption of rooftop solar power: a substantial subsidy of up to **₹78,000** for residential installations. For homeowners in Gujarat, particularly in the regions of Bhuj, Nakhatrana, Tal, and Naliya, this financial support makes switching to solar more affordable than ever. Here is your step-by-step guide to claiming your solar subsidy in 2025.
Step 1: Understand Eligibility and Subsidy Structure
The subsidy is available for residential systems and is tiered based on the system size (kW).
- **Up to 3 kW:** You are eligible for the highest percentage subsidy.
- **Above 3 kW up to 10 kW:** A lower percentage applies to this capacity.
- **Above 10 kW:** Only the first 10 kW are eligible for the subsidy amount.
- **Mandatory Requirement:** The solar system must be installed by an authorized vendor like Visiontek Solutions, and modules must meet the government's ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) standards.
Step 2: The Application Process via the National Portal
The entire application process is conducted online through the National Solar Rooftop Portal. This is the official channel to track your subsidy.
- **Registration:** Register on the portal with your mobile number, email, and electricity consumer ID.
- **Application Submission:** Submit the detailed application, including your address, desired system size, and bank account details for subsidy credit.
- **DISCOM Feasibility Approval:** Your local DISCOM (like PGVCL) will review your application for technical feasibility and grid connectivity.
Step 3: Installation and Inspection
Once approved, this is where your installer, Visiontek Solutions, takes over. We ensure the process is seamless and compliant.
- **Site Survey & Installation:** We conduct a final site survey and install the solar system, including panels, inverter, and net metering equipment.
- **Net Meter Installation:** After installation, the DISCOM installs the bi-directional Net Meter to measure the power you export to the grid and the power you consume.
- **Inspection & Commissioning:** A final inspection is conducted by the DISCOM to verify compliance with all standards.
Step 4: Claiming the Subsidy
The final step is the transfer of the subsidy amount to your bank account.
- **Submission of Final Documents:** We submit the necessary documents, including the commissioning report and the final installation photos, on the National Portal.
- **Generating the Final Bill:** The final invoice is generated after deducting the subsidy amount from the total cost.
- **Subsidy Credit:** Once approved by the DISCOM, the central government subsidy amount (up to ₹78,000) is directly credited to your registered bank account.
