Kalgham runs to pay the electricity bill every month? Now the West Bengal government has embarked on a special campaign to get rid of that thought. For the information of the people of the state, this affordable message is reaching the phone on the phone. If solar panels can be installed on the roof of the house under the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana, it will save around 2 thousand rupees per month.
Depending on how many units of electricity your home consumes monthly, you can determine how many watts of solar panels to install in your home. Besides, if this panel is installed, subsidy will also be given by the government. The government says that if someone consumes less than 200 units of electricity per month, then someone can install 1 to 2 kilowatt solar panels. If someone spends more than 200 to 300 units per month, 2 to 3 kW solar panels can be installed, and if the monthly consumption is more than 300 units, larger panels than 3 kW can be installed. It is said that every kilowatt of panels installed will save 100 units of electricity per month. And if the price is 7 taka per unit, it will save about 700 taka. If someone has installed a panel of 3 KW or more capacity, then he will save electricity around 2 thousand rupees per month. And to install this solar panel will require about 60 square feet of space per kilowatt.
How much does it cost?
Installing this solar panel will cost 70 thousand rupees per kilowatt. However, the person who installs this panel will not spend this entire amount from his pocket. Because the government will also give subsidies. The government will give a subsidy of 30 thousand rupees per kilowatt. And the maximum amount of this subsidy is 78 thousand taka.

Also, the subsidy money will be credited to the bank account as soon as the panel is connected to the grid.
