If you live in Raipur and have heard about free electricity from rooftop solar, this is the guide to read first. It explains PM Surya Ghar Yojna in Raipur from scratch: what the scheme is, what it pays, how Chhattisgarh adds to it, who can apply, what the process looks like and what to expect after installation. Figures are as of October 2026, and wherever sources disagree we say so.
Quick answer: the central subsidy is up to Rs 78,000 for a 3 kW home system, Chhattisgarh has announced a state top-up, applications are online and a registered vendor like us can handle the whole file. Expect two to three months from application to subsidy.
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana was launched in February 2024 to put rooftop solar on one crore households. It combines a central subsidy, easier loans and a simplified online process.

The pensioner couple: a flat-roof home with 150 units of monthly use chooses 2 kW, receives Rs 60,000 and pays under Rs 80,000 net. The family of five: 380 units a month, 3 kW, subsidy Rs 78,000, bill down by about 80 per cent. The work-from-home couple: 600 units a month with two air conditioners, 5 kW, subsidy capped at Rs 78,000, larger saving but longer payback on the extra two kilowatts. All three used the same process; the difference lay in sizing.
