Question 1

What is PM Surya Ghar?

Accepted Answer

It is a Government of India scheme that helps households install rooftop solar with subsidy support.

Question 2

Who can apply?

Accepted Answer

Any household or property owner in Assam with a valid electricity connection can apply.

Question 3

How much subsidy do I get?

Accepted Answer

Central Financial Assistance is ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the 3rd kW, capped at ₹78,000 for systems of 3 kW and above. The exact amount depends on your sanctioned system size.

Question 4

How long does the whole process take?

Accepted Answer

From application to a working connection it usually takes a few weeks, depending on document verification, DISCOM (APDCL) feasibility, any bank loan, and installation scheduling.

Question 5

Who is EverOn Solutions and where do you operate?

Accepted Answer

EverOn Solutions is an Udyam-registered rooftop-solar facilitator serving all districts of Assam. We handle the PM Surya Ghar application, paperwork, bank coordination and installation on your behalf.

Question 6

What documents do I need to apply?

Accepted Answer

Your latest electricity bill, Aadhaar card, PAN card, proof of property ownership, and a recent photo of your roof. A passport photo and bank passbook help speed up loan processing.

Question 7

Can I get a bank loan to finance the system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PM Surya Ghar offers low-interest collateral-free loans for residential rooftop solar up to 3 kW. We coordinate with partner banks so you can pay in easy instalments after the subsidy.

Question 8

How much roof space do I need?

Accepted Answer

As a rough guide, each 1 kW of solar needs about 80–100 sq ft of shadow-free roof. A typical 3 kW home system needs roughly 250–300 sq ft of clear, south-facing roof.

Question 9

How much can I save on my electricity bill?

Accepted Answer

A correctly sized system can offset most of your daytime consumption. Many households cut their monthly bill substantially, and surplus units exported to the grid are adjusted under net metering.

Question 10

What about maintenance and warranty?

Accepted Answer

Solar panels typically carry a 25-year performance warranty and inverters 5–10 years. Maintenance is minimal — occasional cleaning and a periodic check — and our team supports you after installation.
