PM Surya Ghar Yojana: To install solar panels in a rented house under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, you must follow certain important rules. Learn the process.

These days, the need for electricity has increased significantly. Regardless of the season, electricity consumption is constantly increasing, and as a result, bills are also increasing. Many people are constantly looking for ways to reduce this increasing burden.

To reduce electricity bills in homes across the country, the government is running the Pradhan Mantri Surya Ghar Yojana. Under this scheme, subsidies are provided for installing solar panels on rooftops, which then lead to free electricity.

Many people wonder if renting a house can benefit from this scheme. The answer is yes, it is possible. However, certain conditions must be met. Only then can solar panels be installed in a rented house under the Surya Ghar Yojana.

First, the landlord's permission is required. Solar systems cannot be installed without permission. This permission must be in writing to avoid any disputes later. To install solar panels, the landlord's identity, property details, and electricity connection information are uploaded to the portal.

Tenants can also apply in their own name. The electricity connection must be in their name or the landlord's consent document must be attached. When applying, tenants should keep in mind that both tenants will be equally responsible for the system after installation.

Issues like maintenance or repairs often arise, so it's best to have a clear discussion with the landlord beforehand. Adding a clause to the rental agreement also simplifies the process, making everything official.

Applying for the Surya Ghar Yojana is done on the official portal. Once the installation is complete, the department verifies it, and the subsidy is then released. This is a relief for the tenant, as it significantly reduces their bills.
