Uttar Pradesh is one of the largest states in India but with high solar radiation. The state is looking to set up solar parks in different parts of the state on government land. UP has the seventh-largest installed rooftop solar power generation capacity in India.
The state government announced a subsidy of Rs 15,000 per kW for the development of rooftop solar projects which will be provided to residential consumers. The state government has set a target of 10,700 MW for solar power, including 4,300 MW from rooftop solar projects, by 2022. UP’s total installed solar power capacity was 1,095 MW in February with solar rooftop capacity of 146MW.
How & how much subsidy on solar can be availed?
For group housing society projects, with a capacity between 10 kW - 100 kW, the center will provide a subsidy of 40% for the first 3 kW, 20% on the balance. The residential sector may install RTS plant above 10 kW but the Central subsidy will be applicable up to 10kW only.

ये फ्रॉड करते है कॉल पे बोलते है सब्सिडी वाला सोलर पैनल लगायेगे। आप इंजीनियर बुला के साइट विजिट करा लीजिए 1000 रुपए भी ले लिए और फिर इंजीनियर आके बोलता है की सब्सिडी वाला नही लगाते हमारी कम्पनी। कृपया इस फ्रॉड से बच के रहे।
