PM Surya GharYojana Powers Affordable Solar Solutions

Balasore – swa news : With solar power becoming more accessible than ever, the PM Surya GharMuftBijliYojana is enabling households across Northern Odisha to lower their electricity expenses. TP Northern Odisha Distribution Limited (TPNODL) is playing a pivotal role in this transition, making rooftop solar adoption easier for families.

Thanks to a massive awareness drive and on-ground support provided by TPNODL, more and more consumers are turning to rooftop solar panels. With up to 70% subsidy support from both central and state governments, the interest has soared. For example, a household can receive Rs 55,000 for a 1-kilowatt system, Rs 1,10,000 for 2 kilowatts and up to Rs 1.38 lakh for 3 kilowatts, making solar installation remarkably affordable. Loans and additional support make it even easier for families to make the switch.

From guiding people through online applications to facilitating installations, TPNODL is making sure that the benefits reach every eligible home. The company’s field teams are actively helping consumers through every step—be it paperwork or installation—ensuring a seamless experience.

Odisha experiences around 280 to 300 sunny days a year, offering immense potential for solar energy generation. While this is true across the state, Northern Odisha stands out with its natural conditions and available rooftop spaces, making it especially suitable for solar infrastructure. A 1-kilowatt solar panel in this region can generate up to 3.5 units of electricity per day, helping households run essential appliances with ease. With a lifespan of approximately 25 years, these panels ensure long-term energy savings and environmental benefits.

Residents interested in applying can visit www.pmsuryaghar.gov.in, where they’ll need their electricity consumer number, mobile number, identity proof, and recent electricity bill. For support, TPNODL’s 24/7 helpline at 1800-3456-718 / 1912 remains open to guide every step.

By lighting up roofs with solar panels, TPNODL and the people of Northern Odisha are not just reducing bills—they’re building a brighter, greener tomorrow.
