Is this calculator's subsidy figure guaranteed?

No, it's a planning estimate based on the published PM Surya Ghar and UPNEDA subsidy formulas. Actual eligibility depends on your connection type, ALMM/DCR-compliant equipment, correctly filed paperwork, and current UPNEDA budget allocation, confirmed during your free site visit.

Does this apply to shops, offices or factories?

No. The PM Surya Ghar central subsidy and the UPNEDA state top-up apply to residential connections only. Commercial, shop, office and factory installations aren't eligible under this scheme, though they benefit from accelerated depreciation and other business tax treatment instead.

Why is the subsidy capped even for larger systems?

The central subsidy is structured as ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2kW and ₹18,000 for the 3rd kW, capped at ₹78,000 regardless of system size beyond 3kW. The UP state top-up is ₹15,000/kW capped at ₹30,000. So a 3kW system and a 6kW system receive the same maximum combined subsidy of ₹1,08,000, the extra capacity beyond 3kW is not additionally subsidised.
