01 · Before you apply
The scheme's central residential CFA is intended for eligible residential electricity consumers.
Your roof should have adequate usable area, structural suitability and reasonable solar access.
Your electricity connection must fall under a participating distribution utility/process.
Keep the required consumer, bank and electricity-account details ready for portal processing.
Uttar Pradesh specifics
Uttar Pradesh's electricity distribution is split across five DISCOMs under UPPCL, each running its own PM Surya Ghar application queue and inspection schedule. Knowing which one covers you sets realistic expectations for how long each stage takes.
Headquartered in Lucknow, MVVNL covers Raebareli, Lucknow, Unnao, Sultanpur, Hardoi, Amethi and Barabanki. Most Halosun installations are processed through MVVNL's application and net-metering workflow.
Headquartered in Varanasi, PuVVNL covers Pratapgarh and other eastern Uttar Pradesh districts. Halosun also assists customers with connections under this DISCOM.
Paschimanchal (PVVNL) covers western UP, Dakshinanchal (DVVNL) covers the Agra region, and Kanpur Electricity Supply Company (KESCO) covers Kanpur city. All follow the same UPERC-regulated PM Surya Ghar structure.
All five UP DISCOMs follow the same national PM Surya Ghar structure and unified UPERC tariff, but application volume, inspection scheduling and local documentation checks can vary by DISCOM. Halosun helps you prepare for the specific process that applies to your connection.
02 · Keep these ready

The exact time at each stage depends on the portal, DISCOM workload, site conditions and inspection/verification schedule.
Start the rooftop solar application using your electricity consumer details and the applicable DISCOM selection.
The electricity distribution utility processes the request according to its technical and portal workflow.
Halosun assesses your load, roof, orientation, available area and expected generation before finalising the system design.
Panels, mounting structure, inverter, protection equipment, cabling and earthing are installed according to the approved design and applicable requirements.
The completed installation is submitted for the applicable DISCOM verification process. Additional information or corrections may be requested.
After the applicable technical and verification steps, the meter/net-metering process is completed according to the DISCOM workflow.

Technical approval / applicable portal workflow.
Site preparation, installation and commissioning.
DISCOM verification and applicable metering process.
Eligible subsidy/CFA is processed through the applicable system.
05 · What Halosun handles

06 · Simple example
Suppose your eligible residential system is 3 kW. The standard central CFA structure provides up to ₹78,000 for the eligible capacity. Your actual project price is determined by the system specification and quotation; subsidy eligibility does not mean every 3 kW installation costs the same.
07 · Common questions
No. ₹78,000 is the maximum standard central CFA for eligible residential capacity under the stated structure. Actual eligibility depends on the scheme requirements, system capacity, approved equipment and successful verification.
Yes, a residential system can be larger where technically and financially appropriate. However, under the standard central CFA structure, additional central CFA is not provided beyond the eligible 3 kW threshold.
No. Halosun is the solar EPC/vendor. The CFA is a government scheme benefit processed through the applicable portal and verification workflow.
The applicable DISCOM controls its inspection and metering workflow. Halosun can coordinate and assist, but cannot honestly guarantee a government/DISCOM date.
Financing may be available through participating financial institutions and scheme-linked arrangements. Loan approval, interest rate and disbursement remain subject to the lender's terms.
Many steps are handled through the portal and coordinated digitally, but some DISCOM processes may still require field verification or additional documentation. Halosun can help you understand what is required at each stage.
