    The main benefit of solar compared to using coal or other polluting sources is the reduced Green House Gas emissions, less effect on the local water bodies, less affect on the coal mining etc. Extracting energy from sunlight reduces several such harmful effects which are otherwise involved when we produce energy from fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. Many of these fossil fuels are exhaustible sources of energy and also their use leads to air pollution and increased global warming.

    If you want to apply for residential rooftop solar project and live anywhere in India, you are entitled for a central govt subsidy of Rs 78,000/- if you are planning a project of upto 3kW or more. However, in case your state gives you additional susbsidy, you can get more. For example, a UP resident for a 3kW system can get Rs 78,000/- from MNRE and Rs 30,000/- from UPNEDA (UP govt). So, in total you will get Rs 1,08,000/- for a 3kW system or a system more than 3kW. It is because there is a ceiling for connections after 3kW.
