How do I claim the PM Surya Ghar subsidy in Kochi or Ernakulam?
You register on the Government of India National Portal, your DISCOM, KSEB in Kerala, issues a feasibility approval, the system is installed by a registered vendor, KSEB installs a bi-directional net meter and inspects the installation, and the subsidy is then credited to your bank account. SunKraft handles the portal registration, the KSEB feasibility application and the net-metering agreement as part of the project.
In Kerala the step that sets the timeline is the KSEB feasibility approval, not the installation. Knowing that in advance is the difference between a realistic commissioning date and an optimistic one.

Questions
Applying here, answered
KSEB is the DISCOM
Every net-metering and subsidy application in Ernakulam district goes through KSEB.
Zero advance until approval
Our first payment falls due once that feasibility approval is in place, not before.
Residential connections only
A commercial connection in Kochi cannot claim it, though net metering still applies.
Feasibility approval comes first
Nothing should be installed before KSEB has confirmed feasibility for your connection.
The amount is national, not local
₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW, ₹18,000 for the third, capped at ₹78,000. It does not vary by district.

Questions
Subsidy in Kochi, answered
No. PM Surya Ghar is a national scheme with the same amounts everywhere: ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW, ₹18,000 for the third, capped at ₹78,000. What is local is the DISCOM handling it, which in Kerala is KSEB.
It varies by connection and by load, and it is the step that usually sets the overall timeline. We file the application and follow it up rather than leaving you to chase it.
Not for the parts we handle. We register you on the National Portal, file the feasibility application and handle the net-metering agreement.
That is not how the scheme is designed to work. Feasibility approval should be in place before installation, and the subsidy follows commissioning and inspection.
