and services in Coimbatore.
PM Surya Ghar is a Government of India programme that encourages homeowners to install solar panels on their roofs. A portion of the system cost is covered by the government, which lowers your monthly power bill and can give you up to 300 free units every month. SK Greentech assists Coimbatore families with portal registration, installation and subsidy claims.
The central subsidy is ₹30,000 for each of the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the third kW, so systems of 3 kW or larger receive a maximum of ₹78,000. Any state-level support is added on top of this. We confirm your exact subsidy before work begins.
You need to own the house, have a roof suitable for panels and hold a live electricity connection. The same installation must not have received any other solar subsidy. You also need a bank account and a mobile number linked to Aadhaar. Tenants usually cannot apply. Our team confirms your eligibility during the site visit.
First, register on the PM Surya Ghar portal by choosing Tamil Nadu, your electricity distribution company and entering your consumer number. Next, a registered vendor installs the system. Once the net meter is approved and commissioned, the subsidy is transferred to your bank account. SK Greentech supports you from the first form to the final payout.
The state may offer additional assistance for eligible rooftop installations alongside the central scheme. Because amounts and conditions can change, we check the latest official notifications before finalising your cost. Reach out and we will prepare a quotation that reflects every benefit you qualify for.
After the net meter is commissioned and inspected, the subsidy typically arrives in about 30 days. From application to payout, the whole journey usually takes 45 to 90 days, depending on inspection and meter scheduling. We keep following up so your file does not stall.
An on-grid system stays linked to the TNEB grid and needs no batteries. An off-grid system works on its own and stores energy in batteries. A hybrid system combines solar, the grid and battery backup. On-grid is best for cutting bills and recovering cost quickly, while hybrid suits areas with frequent power cuts.
If your home has a grid connection, on-grid is usually the smartest pick because it costs the least and qualifies for the subsidy. Off-grid is meant for places without grid supply.
Allow roughly 100 sq. ft. of shade-free space for every kW. That means about 300 sq. ft. for 3 kW and 500 sq. ft. for 5 kW. Unshaded, south-facing roofs give the best results. Our engineers measure your terrace and plan a layout that maximises output.
After subsidy, a home on-grid system generally recovers its cost within 3 to 5 years. Businesses and industries often see faster returns thanks to higher tariffs and tax benefits. Your exact payback depends on usage, system size and tariff, and your quotation includes a savings estimate.
