Keeping this in mind, the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has initiated the Soura KSEB solar subsidy scheme to make solar energy affordable to many housing societies and homeowners.


The total capacity from the rooftop solar installations as part of this subsidy plan crossed 153.4 MW as of June 2023. The following blog aims to empower you with information on solar system installation to help you make an informed decision.

Soura KSEB solar subsidy is a subsidy project that the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) initiated in 2019. KSEB launched the first phase of the project in 2019-20 and the second phase in November 2020.
