PM Surya Ghar: Rajasthan has once again captured national attention with its solar energy campaign. The state has now become the fifth-largest state in the country, with the number of rooftop solar panels installed surpassing 100,000. This figure of free solar panels being installed in every household under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana clearly indicates Rajasthan’s rapid progress in the energy sector.
While previously only 37 solar panels were installed each month, this number has now increased to over 10,000. Discom companies have adopted innovative methods to facilitate this process. The “Solar Champion Award” for employees and simplified billing and metering procedures are helping to expedite the implementation of this scheme.
Government support and subsidies have accelerated the pace of implementation.
Rajasthan’s three major power companies, Jaipur, Ajmer, and Jodhpur Discoms, have worked together to make this scheme a success. According to data, Jaipur Discom has installed solar panels on 33,922 homes, Ajmer Discom on 32,957 homes, and Jodhpur Discom on 33,378 homes. The total capacity of these panels is 408 MW.
More importantly, the government is providing a subsidy of up to ₹78,000 for installing solar panels. So far, subsidies worth ₹672 crore have been transferred directly to the bank accounts of 86,307 customers. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, this scheme is now progressing at a superfast pace, spreading the glow of solar energy to every home in the state.
