News India Live, Digital Desk: We all know how much the electricity bill empties the pocket due to ACs and coolers during the summer season. For middle class families, a bill of two-three thousand every month is a big burden. The Central Government’s PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana has been started to lighten this burden. What is the mathematics of this 300 units of free electricity? The government’s target is to install solar panels on the roofs of 1 crore houses in the country. If you install a solar system on the roof of your house, you will be able to use the electricity generated by it for free. With this, on an average you will get up to 300 units of electricity absolutely free every month. This simply means that if your expenditure is less than 300 units, then your bill will be zero. Strong support of government subsidy Installing solar panels can be a bit expensive, but the government has made provision for heavy subsidy to bring it within the reach of the common man. If you install a 1 kilowatt (KW) system, then you get a subsidy of about ₹ 30,000. For 2 KW, this amount is approximately Goes up to ₹ 60,000. And if you choose a system of 3 kW or more, you can get a total subsidy of up to ₹ 78,000. You can meet the remaining expenses through easy installment loans. Not only savings, but also an opportunity to earn. The most beautiful thing about this scheme is that if your solar system produces more electricity than required and you are not able to use it completely, then you can send that extra electricity through the grid. Can also sell to the government. This means that now you can become not only an electricity consumer but also an electricity ‘producer’. How to apply?

There you will have to fill your basic information like name, electricity consumer number, and area of the roof etc. After this, government vendors will come to your house to inspect the roof and the panels will be installed.
