Frequently Asked Questions
Why Install Solar Panels in Himachal Pradesh?
Himachal Pradesh has opportunities for residential rooftop solar, particularly in areas with suitable roof orientation and solar exposure. Under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, eligible residential consumers can receive central subsidy support of up to ₹78,000. HPSEBL provides net metering for eligible residential rooftop solar systems, while HIMURJA supports the state's renewable energy development. Because solar irradiation can be lower in some mountainous locations and shading from surrounding terrain can affect generation, proper site assessment is especially important before installation.
