BESCOM rooftop solar — national CFA, local net-meter path

Bengaluru Urban/Rural and several BESCOM districts file PM Surya Ghar on the national portal with BESCOM selected. Sealix is not BESCOM. We explain the money and process friction before you pay a vendor.

Who this covers

Most homes in Bengaluru and BESCOM licence areas (check your bill header). Other Karnataka ESCOMs (MESCOM, HESCOM, CESCOM/GESCOM) have parallel but separate paths — see Karnataka hub.

Typical journey

Confirm domestic connection + roof rights / society NOC if needed
Register on pmsuryaghar.gov.in with Karnataka + BESCOM + consumer number
Follow BESCOM feasibility / SRTPV steps published for your capacity
Install via portal-listed vendor using ALMM-eligible gear
Net meter + commissioning → redeem CFA (commonly up to ₹78,000 for eligible 3 kW+)

Bengaluru-specific friction

Monsoon: size from annual units, not March peak generation slides
High-rise shade: neighbouring towers and trees cut afternoon yield in dense wards
Society NOC: often slower than DISCOM paperwork — NOC guide · apartment solar
