Switching to rooftop solar in Tamil Nadu comes with real financial support from both the Central and State governments. Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana combined with the Tamil Nadu State subsidy, households can receive up to ₹1,00,000 in total assistance — cutting your upfront investment significantly.
Subsidy Breakdown by System Size
| Rooftop System Capacity | Central Subsidy (PM Surya Ghar) | Tamil Nadu State Subsidy | Total Assistance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹30,000 | ₹5,000 | ₹35,000 |
| 2 kW | ₹60,000 | ₹10,000 | ₹70,000 |
| 3 kW | ₹78,000 | ₹22,000 | ₹1,00,000 |
| Above 3 kW | ₹78,000 (max) | ₹22,000 (max) | ₹1,00,000 |
State subsidy is released only after installation, net-metering, commissioning and central CFA disbursal, subject to eligibility criteria under the scheme guidelines. Systems must use DCR-compliant, ALMM-listed modules installed by TEDA-empanelled vendors. Scheme coverage applies to residential rooftop systems up to 10 kW
