Himachal Pradesh subsidises rooftop solar

The Himachal Pradesh government has announced a subsidy of 10 per cent or Rs 4,000 per kW, whichever is less, for all state consumers and institutions installing rooftop solar power plants on their buildings. This will be provided in addition to the central government subsidy. This step has been taken by the state government to promote the adoption of rooftop solar by consumers in hilly areas to meet their energy requirements. The subsidy amount will be directly deposited in the bank account of the consumers by HIMURJA.
