Start with the site
For households in Bhopal and Madhya Pradesh preparing a PM Surya Ghar rooftop solar enquiry.
Start with the official scheme information
Use the official PM Surya Ghar portal to check the current application process and the requirements that apply to your household. Confirm the scheme details there before choosing a system or relying on a financial estimate.
A rooftop survey still matters. The system should fit the household’s electricity use, usable roof area, shading and connection. Choosing capacity only from an expected financial benefit can leave the home with a system that does not suit its needs.
Keep the household in control of the application
Organise the electricity consumer details, applicant information and site records before starting. Check that names and account details are consistent. Enter sensitive account or bank information only through the appropriate official process, and retain access to your application records.
Agree the installer’s role in writing: document preparation, technical information, portal assistance, installation and connection coordination. Keep the application reference and copies of submissions so you can see what has been completed and what action is still needed.
Track installation and application as separate milestones
An enquiry, an application submission, a completed rooftop installation and completion of scheme processing are different stages. Ask which stage your project has reached and what evidence records that stage. The project plan should identify dependencies involving the household, installer and electricity distribution company.
At handover, collect the equipment list, commissioning records, connection information, monitoring access and maintenance guidance. For any scheme-related follow-up, use the official portal status and requested documents rather than treating a verbal estimate as a completed outcome.
