Everything You Need to Know About Solar Subsidies in Karnataka (2025 Guide)

If you’re planning to install a solar rooftop system in Karnataka, the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana offers a golden opportunity to reduce your costs with government subsidies. But to truly benefit, you must understand the eligibility, process, and how to avoid delays.

Here’s a complete 2025 guide to solar subsidies in Karnataka — brought to you by Arrow Power Controls, a trusted KPTCL/BESCOM-registered solar vendor.

What Is the PM Surya Ghar Yojana?

This flagship scheme by the Government of India provides financial incentives for homeowners to install rooftop solar systems and generate their own electricity. Subsidies are directly transferred to the homeowner’s bank account after system inspection.

Subsidy Slabs – 2025 Updated

Subsidy is applicable only for systems installed by vendors registered on the National Solar Portal and empaneled with DISCOMs like BESCOM/KPTCL.

Who Can Apply?

• Homeowners with legal rooftop ownership or association approval
• Valid BESCOM/KPTCL electricity connection and consumer number
• Willingness to install system via approved vendor like Arrow Power Controls

Net Metering in Karnataka (BESCOM/KPTCL)

With net metering, any excess electricity your rooftop system generates is sent back to the grid and deducted from your monthly bill. Arrow Power Controls assists with:

• Net Meter Purchase & Installation
• DISCOM Application & CEIG Approval (if required)
• Grid Synchronization & Testing

What About Commercial or Industrial Systems?

Subsidies are currently limited to residential systems. However, businesses can benefit through:

• Accelerated Depreciation (40%) for tax benefits
• Zero-Investment RESCO Model (OPEX-based solar)
