But before you cast away a solar future, you might want to look at the other side of the story. While solar PV plants as such are anything but affordable, the many existing government subsidies and incentives are what make them so. Don\u2019t believe us? Well, read on to see how Indian Government, in its resolve to produce 227 gigawatts of solar power by 2022, avail many a subsidy and incentive to help you, and thereby the whole nation, transition to a solar future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-304\" src=\"http:\/\/minusco2.in\/solarinsider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1200x630.001.jpeg\" alt=\"Solar Power Incentives\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minusco2.in\/solarinsider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1200x630.001.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/minusco2.in\/solarinsider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1200x630.001-300x158.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/minusco2.in\/solarinsider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1200x630.001-1024x538.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/minusco2.in\/solarinsider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1200x630.001-768x403.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/minusco2.in\/solarinsider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1200x630.001-370x194.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/minusco2.in\/solarinsider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1200x630.001-570x299.jpeg 570w, https:\/\/minusco2.in\/solarinsider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1200x630.001-770x404.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/minusco2.in\/solarinsider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1200x630.001-1170x614.jpeg 1170w, https:\/\/minusco2.in\/solarinsider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1200x630.001-1105x580.jpeg 1105w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Government incentives can broadly be classified into three categories \u2013for residential, institutional and NGO sector; for farmers; for the commercial sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>A. Incentives for residential, institutional and NGOs.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you plan to install a solar PV plant in a building belonging to any of the following categories, you are eligible for <em>MNRE subsidy<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u2022<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Residential \u2013 Independent households <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u2022<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Social Sector \u2013 Registered societies, cooperative housing societies, and multi-storey apartments<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u2022<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Institutional \u2013 Schools, colleges, institutes<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u2022<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Non-profit organizations \u2013 All NGOs including, but not limited to, old-age homes, orphanages etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Well, how much subsidy you can avail will depend on where you belong to.

Incentives for farmers<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Farmers are eligible for an MNRE subsidy up to 90% on solar water pumps. Well, haven\u2019t you heard the glittering tales of solar irrigation in villages like Dhundi, Gujarat, whose farmers have found their ways to better lives via solar pumps that gift them abundant water supply for their fields and produce excess electricity which they can sell to the grid \u2013 which brings us to our favourite incentive of all, net metering. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><div class=\"sc-box bg-black content-white opacity-off\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"padding-top:30px;padding-bottom:30px;\"><h2>A Quick Snapshot of Net-metering and Its Benefits<\/h2><div class=\"sep\"><\/div><span>Under net metering, the excess energy that gets produced by the Solar PV system (and let us tell you, there\u2019s got to be much!) is fed into the grid, which can then be utilised to supply electricity to other households of the grid. You will receive credits for the energy your system supplies to the grid, earning you a deduction in your next electricity bill! Isn\u2019t that such an ingenious way to let the world be more solar-energy dependent while saving you money? Know that whoever you are \u2013 a farmer with solar pumps, or a house owner who has installed rooftop PV plant, or a commercial unit sourcing its power needs from its own solar PV plants, the excess electricity your solar plant produces can play a pivotal role in your savings in future.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>C. Incentives for the commercial sector<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Well, there\u2019s also good news to those in the commercial and industrial sector. Sure, they can\u2019t avail the MNRE subsidy covering 30% of the capital cost, but a profit-making commercial entity can claim 40% of the project cost as depreciation in the very first year of installation under Section 32 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Accelerated depreciation has been one of the prime influential factors in making many of India\u2019s commercial and industrial units to go solar.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 1 kW solar PV plant would cost you \u20b975,000.
