How much subsidy you can get for residential rooftop solar, and how the application process works.
Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, eligible residential rooftop solar systems in Lucknow can receive a central subsidy of ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW, and ₹18,000 for the 3rd kW — capped at ₹78,000 for systems of 3 kW and above. This is a central government scheme, not something Golden ACS sets or controls.
