PM Surya Ghar Subsidy for 3kW — How It Works
The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG) is a central government scheme that provides a direct cash subsidy for residential rooftop solar installations. For a 3kW system, this subsidy is ₹78,000 — the maximum available under the scheme.
- First 2kW: ₹30,000/kW = ₹60,000
- Third kW (2kW to 3kW): ₹18,000 flat
- Total: ₹78,000 — deposited directly into your bank account
To be eligible for the PMSG subsidy, you must:
- Install through a TGREDCO-empanelled vendor (Sri Ishaan Solar Reg. TSRE260936)
- Use ALMM-listed (Approved List of Models & Manufacturers) solar panels and inverters
- Have a sanctioned load of at least 3kW with TSSPDCL or TSNPDCL
- Register on the pmsuryaghar.gov.in portal before installation
- Obtain DISCOM pre-approval and pass the post-installation inspection
Sri Ishaan Solar handles every step of this process. You do not need to visit the DISCOM office or the PMSG portal yourself. Our team registers your application, coordinates the inspection, and ensures the subsidy is deposited into your account.
Return on Investment — 3kW Solar in Hyderabad
Hyderabad receives an average of 5.5 peak sun hours per day — among the highest in India. This makes a 3kW solar system an excellent investment for Hyderabad homeowners.
| ROI Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Monthly generation | 360–420 kWh |
| Average TSSPDCL tariff | ₹3.5–₹5.50/unit (slab-dependent) |
| Monthly electricity savings | ₹1,500–₹2,000 |
| Annual savings | ₹18,000–₹24,000 |
| Net investment (after subsidy) | ₹88,000–₹1,33,000 |
| Payback period | 5–6 years |
| Free electricity after payback | 20+ years |
| Total lifetime savings (25 yr) | ₹4.5–₹6 lakh+ |
After the payback period, the system continues to generate electricity at essentially zero cost for 20+ more years. With rising electricity tariffs in Telangana, your savings will grow year over year.
Is a 3kW Solar System Right for Your Home?
