PM Surya Ghar · Muft Bijli Yojana

Up to₹78,000

The central government subsidy for rooftop solar on homes, paid into your bank account after commissioning. Hileo Forge files the application, handles KSEB approval and sets up net-metering.

On-grid · off-grid · hybrid

Three ways to go solar. One fits you.

The difference is the battery — and whether you stay connected to KSEB. We'll recommend one after a free site survey.

Under PM Surya Ghar, homes get ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the third kW — up to ₹78,000 for systems of 3 kW and above. It is paid into your bank account after the system is commissioned. Business systems are not covered.

Installation on the roof usually takes a day or two once materials arrive. Approvals and net-metering take longer and depend on KSEB. We give you a clear timeline after the site survey.

Yes. Panels still generate on cloudy days, just less than in summer. Our yearly estimates already account for Kerala's monsoon months.

Not for an on-grid system: with net-metering, the KSEB grid acts as your battery. If you want backup during power cuts, we can design a hybrid system with storage.

Very little. Rinse the panels with water now and then, especially in the dry months. Our after-sales team checks the system and inverter when you need us.

Yes. All nationalised banks offer solar loans, with up to 10 years to repay. We help you with the quotation and documents the bank needs.
