Under this scheme, substantial subsidies will be directly credited to the beneficiaries' bank accounts, ensuring minimal financial burden. Additionally, concessional bank loans will be made available to support the installation of solar systems. To streamline the process, all stakeholders will be integrated into a National Online Portal, enhancing accessibility and convenience for applicants.

Incentives will be provided to these entities to facilitate widespread adoption. The scheme is anticipated to not only reduce power bills but also generate employment opportunities.
