Questions
Subsidy, answered
1 kW — ₹30,000
₹30,000 per kW applies to the first 2 kW.
3 kW — ₹78,000
₹60,000 for the first 2 kW plus ₹18,000 for the third. This is the ceiling.
Residential only
The scheme is for residential rooftop consumers. Commercial and industrial connections cannot claim it, though they can still use KSEB net metering.
2 kW — ₹60,000
Still at the full ₹30,000 per kW rate.
4 kW and above, ₹78,000
The cap applies, so additional capacity beyond 3 kW receives no further subsidy.
Applied through the National Portal
