The PM Surya Ghar scheme has crossed 5 million rooftop solar installations. The milestone marks a major step in India’s push for clean household energy.

The scheme helps families install rooftop solar panels with government support. It aims to cut electricity bills for households and reduce dependence on the grid.

Five million installations show the programme is gaining real scale. Officials say registrations continue to rise across states, with strong interest from middle-class households.

Rooftop solar lets families generate their own power during the day. Surplus electricity can be fed back into the grid, earning credits on the bill.

The government sees rooftop solar as key to its clean energy goals. The next target is to take the scheme to many more homes across the country.

The scheme also supports local solar installers and technicians. As installations grow, the programme is creating green jobs across the country. States with the highest adoption are being studied as models.
