Calculation of CFA/subsidy: The CFA/subsidy would be calculated on the basis of total solar module capacity/solar inverter capacity/capacity approved by DISCOM, whichever is lower.
Illustration for calculation of central Government subsidy
| Rooftop Solar System Capacity (lowest of total solar module capacity or solar inverter capacity/ capacity approved by DISCOM) | Applicable Subsidy |
|---|---|
| 2.5 kWp | Rs. 14,588/- X 2.5 = Rs. 36,470/- |
| 3 kWp | Rs. 14,588/- X 3 = Rs. 43,764/- |
| 4 kWp | Rs. 14,588/- X 3 + Rs. 7,294/- X 1 = Rs. 51,058/- |
| 6.5 kWp | Rs. 14,588/- X 3 + Rs. 7,294/- X 3.5 = Rs. 69,293/- |
| 10 kWp | Rs. 94,822/- |
