What is an On-Grid Solar System?

An on-grid solar system, also known as a grid-tied solar power system, is a photovoltaic (PV) setup that is directly connected to the public electricity grid. It enables the generation of electricity from solar energy while maintaining a connection to the utility network, allowing seamless interaction between solar power and grid supply.

On-grid Solar: Connected to the grid, no batteries required, helps reduce electricity bills and ensures clean, renewable energy usage.

Solar Subsidy For On-grid System

Under the PM-Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (Government of India, 2024-25), households installing on-grid rooftop solar systems are eligible for central financial assistance (subsidy).

System Capacity	Subsidy amount Offered Under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana
1 kW	₹30,000
2 kWp	₹60,000
Above 3kW	Maximum subsidy ₹78,000

Loan Facility

Many public and private banks offer 100% financing (loan) under government-supported schemes for on-grid solar.
The loan generally covers the entire system cost (after subsidy) or even before subsidy is disbursed.
