Raipur: Pradhan Mantri Suryaghar Yojana has illuminated many houses through solar energy. Shashank Dubey, a resident of Bilaspur district, has installed a complete solar power plant on the roof top of his house. This solar energy powered plant is not only lighting his house, but his electricity bill has also become zero now. Not only this, Dubey is now supplying electricity to the government as well.
Dubey told that ever since he has installed solar panels on the roof top of his house, the electricity bill of his house has become completely zero. The electricity generation on the roof top through solar panels is completely saving his monthly electricity expenditure. He told that a solar panel of five kilowatt capacity is installed on the roof top of his house , due to the electricity generation from which he no longer has to worry about the monthly electricity bill, as well as he is also supplying electricity as a producer. After installing the solar panel, the electricity bill of his house has been completely eliminated.
Dubey said that it cost him about two lakh rupees to install a five kilowatt solar panel, in which he has received a subsidy of ₹78,000 from the central government, and an additional subsidy of ₹30,000 will also be received from the state government soon.
He said that under this scheme, investment has to be made only once, after which uninterrupted power supply is available for 25 years. To avail the benefits of the scheme, consumers can register through the pmsuryaghar.gov.in portal or PM Suryaghar app.
This scheme proves to be very economical from a long term point of view, in which loan facility is also provided by banks at low interest rates.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Suryaghar Free Electricity Scheme, the state government is encouraging domestic electricity consumers of urban and rural areas to install rooftop solar plants on the roofs of their houses. This plant connects to the electricity grid through net metering, so that the consumer can send the electricity generated in excess of his requirement to the grid. This not only makes the electricity bill of the consumer’s house zero, but they also get income in exchange for the excess electricity given to the grid.
Under the Pradhan Mantri Suryaghar Free Electricity Scheme, up to 300 units of free electricity is being provided per month. This scheme will provide consumers with more income, minimum electricity bills and new employment opportunities. Additionally, public awareness towards renewable energy sources will also increase.
