Introduction: The Push Towards Clean Energy
With rising electricity bills and growing concerns about sustainability, more households and businesses in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are turning to solar power. The Government of India, along with state renewable energy departments, offers generous subsidies to make solar panels more affordable. In fact, you can save up to ₹78,000 on your solar installation through these schemes.
In this blog, we will break down the subsidy process step by step and show you how Mega Solar India helps you make the most of these benefits
What is the Solar Subsidy Scheme?
The solar subsidy scheme is part of the government’s Rooftop Solar Program, designed to encourage citizens to adopt renewable energy.
- Central Government Subsidy: Through MNRE (Ministry of New and Renewable Energy).
- State Subsidies: Telangana and Andhra Pradesh provide additional incentives via TGREDCO (Telangana State Renewable Energy Development Corporation) and NREDCAP (New & Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh).
This combined support drastically reduces the upfront cost of installing a rooftop solar system.
How Much Can You Save?
Here’s an example for a 3 kW residential solar system:
- Cost of installation: ~₹1.8 lakh
- Central + State subsidy: Up to ₹78,000
- Final cost after subsidy: ~₹1 lakh
That means you recover the investment even faster, thanks to savings on your monthly electricity bill.
