Chandigarh administration urges residents to install rooftop solar plants
Amid a lukewarm public response to the rooftop solar initiative, the UT administration has appealed the residents to participate in the “PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana” — an initiative of the government of India aimed at promoting rooftop solar installations in every household across the country.
Under this scheme, a subsidy of up to ₹78,000 is being provided for the installation of a 3kW residential rooftop solar plant, which costs around ₹1.56 lakh. With the proposed additional subsidy from the UT administration, the total cost for residents would drop to approximately ₹48,000, making solar adoption more affordable and financially attractive.
