Step-by-Step Application Process
Step 1: Register on PM Surya Ghar Portal
Visit pmsuryaghar.gov.in and register with:
- Your TSSPDCL/TGSPDCL consumer number (on your electricity bill)
- Aadhaar number
- Mobile number
- Bank account details (for direct subsidy transfer)
Step 2: Submit Application
- Select your state (Telangana) and DISCOM
- Choose system size (we recommend 3 kW for most homes — maximum subsidy)
- Upload electricity bill copy

Step 3: Feasibility Approval
TSSPDCL/TGSPDCL reviews your application and issues feasibility approval (usually 7-15 days).
Step 4: Choose an Empanelled Vendor
Select a registered vendor from the portal list. Sri Ishaan Solar is an empanelled installer — we handle all paperwork for you.
Step 5: Installation + Net Meter
Your vendor installs the solar system and applies for net metering. DISCOM installs the bi-directional meter (usually within 15-30 days after installation).

After DISCOM inspection and commissioning, subsidy is credited directly to your bank account within 30 days.

Common Questions
How long does the process take?
Total timeline: 30-60 days from application to subsidy credit.
Can I get subsidy for commercial property?
No — PM Surya Ghar is residential only. Commercial properties can still install solar but without this subsidy.
What if my application is rejected?
Common rejection reasons: wrong consumer number, insufficient roof space, duplicate application. Fix the issue and re-apply.
