A homeowner guide to eligibility, documents, DISCOM checks, vendor selection and installation readiness.
Quick answer: PM Surya Ghar is the key residential rooftop solar subsidy route for eligible Indian households. In Rajasthan, the practical work is document readiness, correct consumer details, roof feasibility, vendor selection, installation, DISCOM inspection, net-metering and subsidy claim completion through the official process.
Start with the latest electricity bill. The consumer name, address, sanctioned load and category should match the site where solar will be installed. If the bill name, address or load is outdated, resolve it before filing because document mismatch can slow approval and subsidy release.
Next, estimate system size from units. A home using roughly 150 to 250 units per month may evaluate 2 kW to 3 kW. Larger homes with air conditioners, pumps, EV charging or high daytime use may need 4 kW to 6 kW, but central residential subsidy support is generally capped by scheme rules and should be verified on the official portal before payment.
For Jaipur, Kota and Alwar consumers, JVVNL process details matter. For Udaipur, Ajmer and Bhilwara, AVVNL details matter. For Jodhpur and Bikaner, JdVVNL details matter. Your installer should know the local DISCOM inspection and meter workflow.
A good subsidy-ready quote should include ALMM/DCR compliance where required, panel make and wattage, inverter model, mounting structure, cable specs, earthing, lightning protection, monitoring, installation scope, warranty and paperwork responsibility. Do not compare only per-watt price.
Common documents include electricity bill, identity and bank details, ownership or authorization documents where needed, site photographs and consumer information. The exact list can change by portal, DISCOM and consumer category, so verify before starting.
