Telangana is rapidly emerging as a solar-powered state, thanks to strong policies and increasing adoption of rooftop systems. To make solar energy more accessible, the government offers attractive subsidies through the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, along with support from the Telangana State Renewable Energy Development Corporation (TSREDCO). These incentives significantly reduce the upfront cost for homeowners looking to switch to clean energy.
Subsidy Structure for Telangana Residents:
Under the central subsidy program, Telangana residents can avail the following financial assistance for residential rooftop systems:
• 1 kW system: ₹30,000 subsidy
• 2 kW system: ₹60,000 subsidy
• 3 kW system: ₹78,000 subsidy (maximum CFA for homes)
• Above 3 kW to 10 kW: Fixed subsidy of ₹78,000
• Group housing societies: ₹18,000 per kW (up to 500 kW shared capacity)
These subsidies directly reduce the installation cost and improve the return on investment for residential users.
Cost After Subsidy in Telangana:
A standard 3 kW rooftop solar system typically costs around ₹1.80– 2.20 lakh before subsidy.
With the ₹78,000 subsidy applied, the effective cost ranges from ₹1.02 lakh to ₹1.42 lakh.
For regular households, this results in a payback period of 4–6 years, depending on electricity consumption, location, and net-metering benefits.
Why Telangana Is Ideal for Solar?
• High solar irradiation throughout the year
• Mature rooftop ecosystem across Hyderabad and tier-2 cities
• Fast processing for net-metering and approvals
• Strong push toward renewable energy adoption under state energy missions
Conclusion:
The Telangana Solar Subsidy makes it an excellent time for homeowners to switch to solar power. With generous financial support, lower installation costs, and long-term savings, rooftop solar has become one of the smartest investments for households in Telangana. Adopting solar today means cleaner energy, lower bills, and a sustainable future powered by the sun.
