West Bengal homeowners now have a golden opportunity to install rooftop solar at a significantly reduced cost.
With the launch and implementation of the ALOSHREE RTS Subsidy Scheme for Residential Consumers, supported by the Central Government’s Rooftop Solar Programme, residential solar adoption in West Bengal has become more affordable, transparent, and future-ready than ever before.
In this blog, SolarLogix explains what the ALOSHREE RTS Subsidy Scheme is, who is eligible, subsidy benefits, application process, and how homeowners can maximise savings.
What is the ALOSHREE RTS Subsidy Scheme?
The ALOSHREE RTS Subsidy Scheme is the residential rooftop solar subsidy mechanism implemented in West Bengal through WBSEDCL, under the MNRE Grid-Connected Rooftop Solar Programme (Phase-II).
This scheme provides direct financial subsidy to individual residential consumers, reducing the upfront cost of installing a rooftop solar system.
👉 In simple words:
The government pays a portion of your solar system cost — you pay the rest and enjoy free power for 25 years.
Who Can Avail the ALOSHREE RTS Subsidy in West Bengal?
You are eligible if:
-
You are a residential electricity consumer under WBSEDCL
-
You have a valid electricity connection (single or three phase)
-
You own the roof or have owner consent
-
The rooftop solar system is grid-connected
-
The system is installed through a registered/authorised solar EPC
✔ Individual houses
✔ Independent residential buildings
✔ Residential societies (RWAs / GHS – as applicable)
How Much Subsidy is Available? (Residential Consumers)
Under the ALOSHREE RTS / MNRE Rooftop Solar Subsidy framework:
Subsidy Structure (Indicative)
-
Up to 3 kW:
🔹 ~40% subsidy on benchmark cost -
Above 3 kW (Residential):
🔹 ~40% on first 3 kW
🔹 ~20% on remaining capacity
📌 Subsidy amount is calculated based on MNRE benchmark prices, not market prices.
This makes rooftop solar dramatically more affordable for homeowners.
How Does the Subsidy Benefit Homeowners?
With the ALOSHREE RTS Subsidy Scheme, homeowners get:
✅ Lower upfront investment
✅ Faster payback period
✅ Massive reduction in electricity bills (up to 90%)
✅ Net Metering benefits for additional savings
✅ 25 years of clean, predictable power
In many cases, EMI savings are higher than electricity bills.
Is Net Metering Mandatory Under the Subsidy Scheme?
Most residential solar systems under the subsidy scheme are installed with Net Metering, as per the latest framework approved by WBERC.
With Net Metering:
-
Excess solar units exported to the grid are adjusted against imported units
-
You pay only for net electricity consumption
-
Annual savings are maximised
SolarLogix designs systems optimised for subsidy + net metering.
