In Uttar Pradesh, you get financial assistance for rooftop solar panel installation. You can get a portion of your initial investment from the state and central government.
Uttar Pradesh has a high quarter-on-quarter growth in 2026 in terms of open-access solar system installations. This is only possible with the state and central solar subsidies available in UP that make the installation more affordable. You can easily get these subsidies if you follow all the guidelines properly.

| Subsidy (Central Govt.) | Rs. 30,000 per kW (Maximum Rs. 78,000) |
| Subsidy (State Govt.) | Rs. 15,000 per kW along with Central Govt. subsidy |
| Objective | To promote new rooftop solar plant installations throughout the state. |
The state offers subsidies, but apart from this, the central government also offers additional subsidies under the PM – Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana:
Rs. 30,000 for 1 kW
Rs. 60,000 for 2 kW
Rs. 78,000 for 3 kW and above
The central government is also offering a subsidy of Rs. 18,000 per kW up to a capacity of 500 kW for Group Housing Societies (GHS) and Residents’ Welfare Associations (RWA). This subsidy assumes an allocation limit of 3kW per house.
The cost of installing solar panels in Uttar Pradesh can be significantly reduced through the available central and state subsidies.
Below is a table detailing the installation costs, subsidies and effective costs for different capacities of solar panels in the state:

You must follow all these eligibility checklists to get the state and central solar subsidy in UP:
As per the eligibility criteria mentioned by MNRE, you must have to install an on-grid solar power system. If you install an off-grid or hybrid system, you are not eligible.
Only the DCR modules included in the ALMM list are eligible for the subsidy scheme. Therefore, you should not buy non-DCR modules if you want to avail the subsidy benefits.

Not only the DISCOM, but your solar installers should also have registration with an MNRE-registered DISCOM. You are eligible only if you complete the installation process from an empanelled vendor.
