Rooftop Solar for Housing Society

How Solar Works for Your Housing Society

In an apartment building, the common-area electricity bill — lifts, water pumps, corridor and campus lighting — is paid by every member through maintenance. A rooftop solar system on the society terrace cuts that bill directly.

Under PM Surya Ghar, group housing societies and RWAs get ₹18,000 per kW for common facilities, up to 500 kW (about 3 kW per house). Bhanu helps with the general-body resolution, DISCOM application and subsidy paperwork.
