The National Portal for Rooftop Solar is a central platform launched by India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) on 30 July 2022. It allows residents to apply for rooftop solar installation subsidy and track their applications online.
Usually, this process is handled by companies like APS, from which customers purchase their solar systems. However, consumers can also complete it themselves with ease.

Step-by-Step Application Process
- Visit the Official Portal
Go to pmsuryaghar.gov.in - Register as a Consumer
Select your state, district, and DISCOM (electricity provider). Enter your consumer account number, verify via OTP, and complete registration. - Choose an MNRE-Empaneled Vendor
The portal lists approved vendors by DISCOM. Choose one to handle the installation.
Example: If you have assigned your project to APS, search and select “Australian Premium Solar (India) Ltd.”
Note: Please ensure the installer is MNRE-approved. Without this, your subsidy eligibility may be at risk.
- Installation & Net-Metering
The vendor installs the system and coordinates with your DISCOM for net-meter installation. Subsidy claims are processed only after the new meter is installed. - Upload Required Documents
Submit commissioning certificates, bank details, photographs, and invoices on the portal. - Inspection by DISCOM
After installation, a DISCOM representative will visit your premises to verify the setup. - Subsidy Disbursed via DBT
Once approved, the Central Financial Assistance (subsidy) is credited directly to your bank account—typically within 30 days. Quick and hassle-free!
