Major changes in government's renewable energy plans

What is the Surya Ghar Yojana?

The Surya Ghar Yojana is a government of India scheme to promote solar power in rural and urban areas. The scheme provides subsidies for the installation of solar panels on rooftops and other suitable surfaces.

The scheme was launched in 2019 with an initial target of installing 40 GW of solar power capacity by 2022. The target was later revised to 100 GW by 2022. The scheme has been successful in promoting solar power in India, with over 50 GW of solar power capacity installed under the scheme as of 2022.

What are the changes in the Surya Ghar Yojana?

The government has recently made several changes to the Surya Ghar Yojana.

The first change is that the subsidy for solar panels has been increased from 40% to 60%. This will make solar panels more affordable for consumers and help to accelerate the adoption of solar power in India.

The second change is that the government has simplified the process of applying for the subsidy. Consumers can now apply for the subsidy online, and the process has been made more transparent.

The third change is that the government has introduced a new scheme called the "Surya Mitra" scheme. This scheme provides training and support to solar installers, and helps to ensure that solar installations are done correctly.

What are the benefits of the changes in the Surya Ghar Yojana?

The changes in the Surya Ghar Yojana are expected to have several benefits.

First, the changes will make solar panels more affordable for consumers. This will help to accelerate the adoption of solar power in India, and reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels.

Second, the changes will simplify the process of applying for the subsidy. This will make it easier for consumers to participate in the scheme, and will help to increase the number of solar installations in India.

Third, the changes will introduce a new scheme to provide training and support to solar installers. This will help to ensure that solar installations are done correctly, and will reduce the risk of accidents and other problems.
