We at Bhoodarsh Saurshakti get this question a lot: “Are the government incentives for Solar Panel Installation in Nagaon? The answer is: Yes. There are programs both by the central and state governments to help make solar affordable. We outline the schemes and how households or businesses in Nagaon make use of them below. 

A List of Government Incentives for Solar Panel Installation

Central Government Subsidies and Schemes

1. PM Surya Ghar (Muft Bijli Yojana) – The Government of India provides financial assistance for rooftop solar systems. Depending upon the size of the system installed (1-3kW), qualifying households may receive subsidies. 
2. Grid-Connected Rooftop Solar Programme (MNRE) – The central financial assistance  (CFA) provided under this program covers a portion of the cost of a grid-connected solar rooftop system. For example, a system of up to 3kW qualifies for a subsidy of up to 40%, and lower subsidies for larger systems. 
3. Production Linked Incentive (PLI) for Solar Module manufacturers – This may not be for direct consumers, but it helps nurture the ecosystem of domestic solar panel manufacturers in India, which can help lower solar module costs. 
4. The PM-KUSUM scheme supports solar irrigation pumps and small solar plants for farmers – This is not direct for rooftop residential systems (incentive, subsidy), but it supports agricultural users.

Assam / State-Level Incentive (Relevant to Nagaon)

Because Nagaon falls under Assam, the state-level incentives are critical:

• Assam’s Rooftop Solar Capital Subsidy – The government of Assam makes available a capital subsidy for rooftop systems. The state offers a subsidy amount as part of the grid-connected rooftop solar program (for example, up to 30% for residential/institutional systems) that complements subsidies offered by the central government (likely ~30-40% of system cost). 
• Subsidy Amounts & Assistance – Households can expect to receive a state subsidy of ₹15,000 to ₹45,000, based on the capacity of the system installed (3kw or less is generally not eligible for the greater subsidy amount).
• Special State Subsidy for Systems Up to 3 kW  – For systems that are up to 3kW, the state announced that consumers can pay a lower amount (for example, consumers would only pay ~₹5,000 for a 1kW system after subsidy) to install a rooftop solar system.
• Application via Assam Energy Development Agency (AEDA) – Applications for rooftop solar systems can be submitted through the AEDA. 
• The Operational Guidelines for the Subsidy Structure – The guidelines issued by the Assam Power Distribution Company (APDCL) specify the subsidy amount for a residential system (central + state).

How to Avail of the Incentives in Nagaon

Here are simplified steps you should follow:

Step 1: Check if the rooftop is suitable in terms of expected solar output

Step 2: Choose a Solar Panel Manufacturer in India you trust, and an installer

Step 3: Register on the national / state portals or apply to AEDA

Step 4: Install through an empanelled vendor, and follow their guidelines

Step 5: Inspection & verification by the DISCOM / authority

Step 6: Subsidy credited (central + state) after commissioning successfully
