Solar energy is emerging as the most useful option to get rid of the hassle of electricity bill. The government also has a lot of emphasis on solar energy. Anyone can easily get solar panels installed on the roof of their house. To promote this, the government has also arranged for subsidy, but due to lack of awareness, people are not able to oriented towards it at the speed which the government intends. If we pay attention to the scheme of the government, then it is a very profitable deal for the common people. If we add the subsidy scheme of the central and state government on solar plants, then 50 percent amount is available as subsidy. The amount that a family spends on household electricity of one kilowatt in a year, will cost the same amount to install a solar power plant in its house with a guarantee of five years.
How much subsidy will be given on how many watts
If you have to install one kilowatt solar plant in your house, then its estimated cost comes to 38 thousand rupees. In this, a grant of Rs 15,200 is received by the Central Government. Along with this, the state government gives Rs 15000, that is, a total grant amount of Rs 30,200 is available. The consumer will have to spend only Rs 7800 in this. If solar powered electricity system is done in the house, then the hassle of power cut will also be saved. If the consumer takes electricity connection of one kilowatt in the house, then electricity will come to about 8 thousand rupees in a year i.e. the money spent by the consumer goes out in a year.
Similarly, if a 2 kW solar plant is to be installed, then the estimated cost is Rs 76,000. The subsidy on this is 30,400 by the central government. At the same time, the state government will give a subsidy of Rs 30,000 on this, which means that a total subsidy of Rs 60,400 will be available. After spending only Rs 15,600 from the consumer's home, a solar plant of two kilowatts will be ready in the house.
