Frequently Asked Questions

Can I claim the subsidy for solar water heaters too?
No. The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana applies specifically to grid-connected rooftop solar PV (electricity) systems. Solar water heaters have a separate MNRE subsidy scheme (Solar Water Heating Systems). Contact us to know which applies to your requirement.
How long does the entire subsidy process take?
Typically 45–90 days from registration to subsidy credit. BESCOM approval takes 15–30 days, installation takes 1–2 days, and net metering plus portal verification takes another 30–45 days.
Is there a state government subsidy in Karnataka too?
The primary scheme is the central government's PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. Karnataka also periodically offers additional incentives through KREDL (Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Ltd). Contact us for the latest state-level benefits available.
Can apartments and housing societies apply for the subsidy?
Yes. Group Housing Societies (RWAs) and apartment complexes can apply for the subsidy for common area solar installations. The maximum subsidy for group housing is capped differently — contact us for details specific to your complex.
Will Kamal Solar help with the paperwork?
Absolutely. As an MNRE-empanelled vendor, we handle the entire process — portal registration, BESCOM application, technical documentation, net metering coordination, and subsidy follow-up. You just need to be available for the installation day.
