PM Surya Ghar Subsidy in Kayathar
Everything a Kayathar homeowner needs to know about the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana — eligibility, amounts, steps, and how we handle it end to end.
The PM Surya Ghar subsidy in Kayathar is one of the most substantial financial benefits available to homeowners considering rooftop solar — and one that most eligible households have not yet claimed. The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a central government scheme that pays a direct subsidy of up to ₹78,000 to eligible residential electricity consumers who install an on-grid rooftop solar system through a registered vendor. For a 3 kW system — the most popular residential size — this subsidy alone covers a significant portion of the gross system cost, making solar genuinely accessible for most Kayathar families.
Kayathar is in Thoothukudi district, Tamil Nadu, and every residential TANGEDCO electricity consumer in the town is potentially eligible to apply for this subsidy. The town's connection with renewable energy — through the wind farms that have operated in this area for years — gives many Kayathar residents a natural comfort with energy technology, and the PM Surya Ghar scheme is an opportunity to bring that renewable energy identity home, with the government paying a meaningful share of the upfront cost.
This page explains the subsidy in detail: what it is, who qualifies, exactly how much it pays, the application process, the documents you need, and what the typical timeline looks like from application to payment. Green Point Solar is an MNRE-approved vendor, which is a prerequisite for subsidy-eligible installations. We manage the full application process for every homeowner we work with — you do not need to navigate the national portal yourself.

Who is eligible for the subsidy in Kayathar?
Eligibility criteria for PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana:
- You must be a residential electricity consumer — the subsidy is for domestic connections only, not commercial or industrial tariff connections.
- The installation must be on a residential rooftop and must be an on-grid system (not off-grid or battery-backed stand-alone).
- The system must be installed by an MNRE-approved vendor. This is why our MNRE approval status matters — installations by non-approved companies are not eligible.
- Your property must have an existing TANGEDCO domestic connection with a valid consumer number.
- The system must be registered on the PM Surya Ghar national portal before and after installation.
Most Kayathar homeowners with a domestic TANGEDCO connection will meet these criteria. If you rent rather than own your home, you would need the property owner's consent and documentation; we can advise on what is needed in that case.
Documents required for the subsidy application
- Aadhaar card (homeowner)
- TANGEDCO electricity bill showing your consumer number
- Bank account details (account number, IFSC code — for direct credit)
- Property ownership document or self-declaration
- Passport-sized photograph
- Post-installation photographs (taken by us as part of the installation documentation)
We compile the complete documentation package and submit it on your behalf. You provide us the originals or clear copies of the above, and we handle the portal registration, upload, and follow-up.
Why Kayathar households should act on the subsidy now
The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a government scheme with allocated funding. While there is no published deadline for individual applications, subsidy schemes of this nature are typically subject to budget review periods, and the most straightforward access to the full amount is always through early adoption. Kayathar is a town that understands long-term energy infrastructure investment — the wind farms here were not built by people waiting for a better moment. The subsidy is available now, the TANGEDCO net-metering framework is in place, and Green Point Solar is ready to handle the paperwork. The practical question is simply when, not whether.
The application process — step by step
- Pre-registration: we register the installation intent on the PM Surya Ghar national portal before installation, as required by the scheme.
- Site survey and design: our free on-site survey determines the right system size and produces a written proposal.
- Installation: our MNRE-approved team installs the system. Post-installation photographs are taken as per portal requirements.
- TANGEDCO net-metering application: submitted simultaneously; we attend the inspection and follow up until the bi-directional meter is installed.
- Subsidy portal completion: post-installation documentation uploaded to the PM Surya Ghar portal. The government verification process then begins.
- Subsidy disbursal: once the installation and net-metering are verified on the portal, the subsidy amount is credited directly to your registered bank account. Timelines depend on the government verification queue but we track and follow up actively.
