India Sees Surge in Rooftop Solar Adoption Under PM Surya Ghar Yojana
India’s rooftop solar segment is witnessing a major surge as the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana 2025 gains traction across states. The initiative, which aims to install rooftop solar systems on one crore homes, is driving large-scale participation from both consumers and vendors.
According to data from MNRE, applications have doubled in the last quarter, with rising awareness, online registration portals, and support from state Discoms improving adoption rates significantly.
- Over 4 lakh new rooftop solar applications approved since August 2025.
- Average 3–5 kW installations per household with subsidy up to ₹78,000.
- Growing demand for smart inverters and hybrid battery-ready systems.
- Vendors reporting 40% increase in quote requests through online platforms like SolSetu.
Why the Surge?
Experts point to three main factors: simplified digital applications, faster Discom inspection timelines, and growing awareness about subsidies under the central and state programs. Combined with falling panel costs and improved financing options, homeowners are now more confident in adopting solar.
