PM Surya Ghar Yojana Rules: Be it summer or winter, people need electricity. Especially those who have more people living in their families. Electricity is consumed a lot in their homes. People try different ways to control the rising electricity bill. But now people have also started installing solar panels in their homes. So that they can get relief from electricity. The Government of India also provides subsidies to the people for this.

The government has started the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Free Electricity Scheme for this. Under this scheme, the Government of India gives subsidies to the people for installing solar panels in their homes. This question also comes to the mind of many people whether solar panels can be installed only on the roof of the house. If someone has a shop, then solar panels cannot be installed on the roof of that shop. Let us tell you. What are the rules of the scheme regarding this?

Can solar panels be installed on the roof of the shop under Surya Ghar Yojana?

Different types of subsidies are given by the government for installing solar panels under Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana. But some rules have also been fixed for installing solar panels in this scheme. For example, only the person who has his own house in his name can install solar panels.

Let us tell you that this scheme of the Government of India is operated as a residential scheme. The purpose of the government is to install solar panels in the houses of the people. So that they can meet their daily electricity consumption through this. If you have a shop in your house itself. Then you can install solar panels on the roof of your house i.e. shop.

These are the rules in the scheme

But if your shop is commercial and you have taken a separate commercial connection for it. Then you will not get permission to install solar panels under Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana. That is, if you want to install solar panels on your commercial shop.

So you can get it installed yourself. The government will not give you subsidy in that. Because under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, subsidy is given only to housing users. For more information, you can contact your government electricity department or local electricity distribution company.
