Does Prisha Solar handle permits and documentation?

Yes, Prisha Solar manages all required approvals, permits, and documentation related to solar installation, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for customers.

How does the rooftop solar subsidy process work?

Residential rooftop subsidy is administered by the central government through the national portal at pmsuryaghar.gov.in, not by the installer. The sequence is fixed: register on the portal with your electricity consumer number, apply for feasibility approval from your DISCOM and wait for the letter of intent, select a vendor registered on the portal for Gujarat, have the system installed, get the bidirectional net meter fitted by the DISCOM, and wait for the commissioning report. The subsidy is then transferred directly to the applicant's own bank account.

Amounts, eligibility conditions and timelines are set by the government and revised from time to time, so check the current figures on the official portal rather than relying on any installer's quote. Prisha Solar prepares the technical documentation and guides you through each stage, but the application and the bank account stay in your name.
