How much subsidy you can get for residential rooftop solar, and how the application process works.
Lucknow residents can combine two subsidy layers. Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the central government gives ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the 3rd kW, capped at ₹78,000 for 3 kW and above. On top of this, UPNEDA — the Uttar Pradesh state renewable energy agency — adds a state subsidy of ₹15,000 per kW, capped at ₹30,000 per consumer. Together, a 3 kW+ residential system can qualify for up to ₹1,08,000 in total subsidy. Neither layer is something Golden ACS sets or controls.
Uttar Pradesh residents get two subsidy layers that stack together — central (PM Surya Ghar) and state (UPNEDA).
| System size | Central subsidy (PM Surya Ghar) | UP state subsidy (UPNEDA) | Combined total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹30,000 | ₹15,000 | ₹45,000 |
| 2 kW | ₹60,000 | ₹30,000 (cap) | ₹90,000 |
| 3 kW and above | ₹78,000 (cap) | ₹30,000 (cap) | ₹1,08,000 |
