THE DATA BEHIND THE DECISION
ତଥ୍ୟ ଭିତ୍ତିକ ନିଷ୍ପତ୍ତି
Odisha gets 300 sunny days and the country's only double solar subsidy. ଓଡ଼ିଶା 300 ଦିନ ରୋଦ ଓ ଦ ର ଏକମାତ୍ର ଡ ସ ସ ପ।
Solar makes financial sense in most Indian states. In Odisha, it makes exceptional sense — because of sun hours, state subsidies no other state matches, and four DISCOMs with active net metering.

How Odisha's seasons affect your output. ଓଡ଼ିଶାର ଋ ଆ ଉ ର ପ।
Odisha averages 4.5 peak sun hours per day across the year — above the national average of 4.0. Even during monsoon, solar keeps generating. Net metering credits surplus summer units against lower monsoon output.

NET METERING IN ODISHA

Sell surplus power back to the grid — in all 4 zones. ଅ ବ ବ ग ৪ ज।
Net metering means any unit your solar system generates beyond your consumption is credited to your account. At month end, you only pay for the net difference. In Odisha, all four DISCOMs have an active net metering policy — you're covered wherever you are.

Can I apply for both the Central and Odisha State subsidy? ଆ ଦ ———PM ———ଓ ———ସ ——— ——— ———?
Yes. If your system is on-grid and installed by an empaneled vendor (like M-Lite Solar), you are automatically eligible for both. They are processed via the same PM Surya Ghar portal.

Does Odisha have net metering for commercial and industrial connections too? ଓ ———ବ ———ଓ ———ଶ ——— ———ସ ——— ———ନ ———ମ ——— ———?
Net metering in Odisha currently applies to residential and small commercial connections. Industrial connections have separate regulations. Contact us for details specific to your connection type.

Do solar panels generate power during cloudy days? ବ ——— ———ଦ ——— ———ସ ——— ———?
Yes, but at reduced capacity — typically 10–25% of peak output. In Odisha, even the monsoon season averages 3 peak sun hours per day. Net metering credits from summer months offset this seasonal dip.
