Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited (TPREL), a subsidiary of Tata Power, on Friday launched a programme to bring sustainable and affordable solar energy to households in Tamil Nadu.
The programme called 'Ghar Ghar Solar, Tata Power ke Sang' has helped households in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, and Chhattisgarh to “embrace clean energy solutions”, said TPREL.

The Tamil Nadu programme was launched in Coimbatore at an event attended by Praveer Sinha, chief executive officer and managing director of Tata Power and Deepesh Nanda, chief executive officer and managing director of TPREL. Backed by 42 channel partners, the programme will cover all districts of Tamil Nadu and “empower households across the state to seamlessly transition to clean energy”.
TPREL said Tamil Nadu is a solar powerhouse, having more than 240 megawatt (Mw) of installed capacity across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. A key project in the state is Tata Power's 4.3 gigabit watt (GW) solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Tirunelveli. The facility will strengthen the production of indigenous solar cells and modules, reducing reliance on imports and supporting India's renewable energy goals.
"The launch of Ghar Ghar Solar initiative in Tamil Nadu is pivotal in supporting the adoption of clean and affordable energy through rooftop solar solutions. This campaign will empower thousands of households across the state to take charge of their energy needs and reduce spending on electricity bills through rooftop solar," said Sinha.
The programme makes rooftop solar solutions (RTS) financially viable. Aligned with the central government’s PM Surya Ghar Yojana, people can benefit from government subsidies of Rs 30,000 for 1 kilowatt (Kw) systems, Rs 60,000 for 2 Kw, and Rs 78,000 for installations ranging from 3 Kw to 10 Kw. These incentives drastically reduce the cost of switching to solar, allowing homeowners to embrace green energy with ease.

Beyond installation subsidies, TPREL’s programme offers metering options that allow households to earn credits for any surplus electricity generated. These credits can be applied to future bills, further reducing monthly energy costs.
