Empowering Residential Societies through Solar Energy under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojna

October 20, 2025

India’s energy landscape is rapidly transforming, and the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojna is a landmark initiative driving this change. Designed to promote rooftop solar adoption in residential sectors, the scheme offers substantial government subsidies that make solar energy not only affordable but also profitable for Residential Welfare Associations (RWAs), Housing Societies, and Group Housing Complexes.

The Vision of PM Surya Ghar Yojna

Launched by the Government of India, this scheme aims to install 10 million (1 crore) rooftop solar systems across households. The government provides direct subsidy transfers to residential consumers, reducing upfront installation costs and encouraging clean, self-reliant energy generation.

Under this scheme:

Homeowners and housing societies can install grid-connected rooftop solar systems.

The Central Financial Assistance (CFA) is directly credited to the consumer’s bank account.

Consumers can offset their monthly electricity bills through net metering, where excess solar power is exported to the grid.

Why Solar for Residential Societies Makes Perfect Sense

Residential societies have large common areas — lifts, pumps, street lights, security cabins, and clubhouses — all consuming significant electricity. Shifting to solar power helps societies:

Reduce common area electricity bills by 70–90%

Increase property value

Contribute to sustainability and net-zero goals

Ensure energy independence for decades
How Societies Benefit Beyond Savings

Lower Maintenance Charges: Savings on electricity directly reduce monthly maintenance contributions by residents.

Green Building Recognition: Solar installation helps the society achieve Green Housing Certification, enhancing reputation and resale value.

Energy Security: Stable, predictable energy generation for decades with minimal maintenance.

CSR and ESG Alignment: Builders and management committees can align projects with Sustainability & CSR mandates.
