Government Subsidy on Residential Solar
Eligible homeowners can receive a subsidy of up to ₹1,08,000 on their rooftop solar installation, depending on system size. Himank Energies handles the complete subsidy application and approval process on your behalf, so there’s no separate paperwork burden on you.
Generation-Based Incentive (GBI) — No Hidden Calculations
This is simple and transparent: the more you generate, the more incentive you earn. There’s no confusing math around “how much you saved on your bill” — the benefit is tied directly to the units your system produces.
Homeowners can earn a Generation-Based Incentive ranging from ₹40,000 to ₹1,44,000, based purely on actual generation from your rooftop system. It’s a straightforward reward for producing clean energy — and a genuine step toward a greener future for your home.
