How can I reduce my EB bill in Tamil Nadu?

You can reduce your EB bill in Tamil Nadu by generating your own clean power through a rooftop solar system. During daylight hours, electricity produced by rooftop solar panels powers your domestic appliances directly, reducing the units pulled from the grid.

How much subsidy can I get for rooftop solar?

Under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, residential consumers can receive a Central Financial Assistance (CFA) subsidy of ₹30,000 for a 1 kW system, ₹60,000 for a 2 kW system, and up to ₹78,000 for 3 kW and higher systems.

Is ₹78,000 subsidy available for 3 kW solar?

Yes. Under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, eligible individual residential consumers receive up to ₹78,000 Central subsidy for a 3 kW or higher solar installation.

Can I receive the ₹22,000 Tamil Nadu benefit together with ₹78,000 Central subsidy?

A total potential combined benefit of up to ₹1,00,000 (comprising ₹78,000 Central subsidy plus an additional ₹22,000 Tamil Nadu incentive) may apply if confirmed active and combinable under official Tamil Nadu government/TNPDCL guidelines for your category.

Can solar completely eliminate my EB bill?

While rooftop solar can drastically eliminate the unit consumption charges of your EB bill, it typically does not reduce the bill to absolute zero due to mandatory fixed charges and taxes levied by TANGEDCO.

How much electricity does a 3 kW solar system generate?

Under official TNPDCL guidance, a rooftop solar panel system in Tamil Nadu produces approximately 4 to 5 units of electricity per kW per day on average, yielding 12 to 15 units daily for a 3 kW system.

How does net metering work?

In an on-grid solar system, an official bi-directional net meter records both the power you import from the grid and the excess solar electricity you export. During each billing cycle, your exported units are credited against imported units.

How do I apply for solar subsidy?

You apply by registering on the PM Surya Ghar National Portal (pmsuryaghar.gov.in) with your TANGEDCO consumer number, obtaining technical feasibility approval, selecting an authorized installer like Winpower Electronics, completing installation and net-meter commissioning, and submitting documentation for direct bank subsidy disbursement.
