Till when is PM Surya Ghar open?

The scheme is funded till FY 2026-27 (March 2027). The subsidy is paid only after installation, net metering and inspection, so it is best to start early.

Which panels qualify for subsidy?

Subsidised home systems must use DCR panels (made in India with Indian cells) from ALMM-listed makers, installed by a vendor registered on the portal.

How long does the subsidy take?

It is credited to your bank account after installation, net-meter commissioning and DISCOM inspection are completed on the national portal.

How does the calculator work?

It uses the real MSEDCL residential slabs (MERC Case 217 of 2024 (MSEDCL MYT order), FY 2026-27), about 3.8 units per kW per day, panel ageing of 0.5% a year and a 3% yearly tariff rise. It shows your price after subsidy, an EMI next to your current bill, and 25-year savings.
