Fast triage: Plan on ₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000 for 1 / 2 / 3 kW+. Portal: pmsuryaghar.gov.in with KSEB, then ekiran / section-office steps. Bill already thin or monsoon-heavy shade? Is solar worth it? before you size.

| Plant size | Central CFA | What to fund first |
|---|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹30,000 | Gross quote — CFA later by DBT |
| 2 kW | ₹60,000 | Same — no automatic invoice deduction |
| 3 kW+ | ₹78,000 ceiling | Extra kW past 3 kW usually self-funded |

KSEB is the statewide DISCOM and the State Implementation Agency for residential PM Surya Ghar. Most domestic bills say KSEB, so DISCOM selection on the national portal is simple — then feasibility, install, inspection and net meter run through your local section (often via ekiran).
ANERT supports other Kerala renewable programmes (government buildings, street lighting, some EV/charging support). It does not process homeowner PM Surya Ghar CFA. Installer blogs that send you to “ANERT subsidy counters” for a private rooftop are usually describing the wrong lane.

Older Kerala rooftop programmes had their own windows; those figures still circulate. For a new 2026 residential application, Sealix models central CFA only unless a current official notice and your live portal file show an additional amount. Compare states that do publish clear top-ups: Tamil Nadu · West Bengal · state top-up map.
Eligible domestic homes get PM Surya Ghar CFA of ₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000 for 1 / 2 / 3 kW+. Do not assume a live ANERT homeowner top-up without a current notice on your file.
KSEB is the SIA for PM Surya Ghar CFA. ANERT runs other state programmes — not residential CFA credit.
No. CFA is DBT after commissioning. You fund the gross quote first.
Low bill, heavy shade, no society NOC, or night-heavy load without storage. See is solar worth it?.
