Who is eligible?

You own the house and the roof.
The electricity connection is a domestic connection in your name.
You have not taken a solar subsidy on this connection before.
The plant is installed by an empanelled vendor (like UPPower) using DCR panels.

Documents you need

Aadhaar card
Latest electricity bill
Bank passbook or cancelled cheque
Passport-size photo

Step-by-step process

Register on pmsuryaghar.gov.in with your consumer number and mobile.
Apply for rooftop solar — DISCOM gives technical feasibility in 7–15 days.
Install through UPPower (1–2 days of work).
Net-meter — apply and DISCOM installs the bi-directional meter.
Commissioning — upload photos, DISCOM inspects and issues the certificate.
Subsidy — submit bank details; amount is credited by DBT in about 30 days.

Common mistakes to avoid

Buying non-DCR (imported) panels — no subsidy.
Bill not in the applicant's name — get the name changed at DISCOM first.
Installing before feasibility approval — the application can be rejected.

UPPower files the entire application for you and follows up with the DISCOM until the subsidy reaches your bank.
