Subsidy eligibility, system types, maintenance timelines — covered plainly so you arrive at the right decision before you call us.
Bihar Subsidy: Who Qualifies and What CKT Handles
Residential consumers registered under SBPDCL or NBPDCL with a sanctioned load of 1 kW or above are eligible. You need your electricity bill, Aadhaar, and property documents — CKT submits the application and tracks approval with the discom on your behalf.
Central subsidy covers up to 40% for systems up to 2 kW and 20% for the next 1 kW. Approval typically takes two to four weeks when documents are complete — our team flags missing paperwork before submission so there are no delays.

Agriculture and commercial connections follow a separate MNRE channel. Ask us which scheme applies to your meter type before starting the paperwork.
What Buyers Ask Before Signing
Can I finance a system on EMI?
Yes. CKT works with partner financers to offer EMI options starting from 12-month tenures. Your subsidy amount is deducted from the financed principal before EMI calculation — so you borrow less and pay less interest overall.
How long does the full approval and installation take?
Survey and proposal: 2–3 days. Subsidy application submission: 1 week. Discom approval: 2–4 weeks. Physical installation: 1–2 days. Net meter connection: 1–2 weeks after installation. Total from enquiry to live system: typically 6–8 weeks.
On-grid or off-grid — which suits Bihar homes?
How do panels perform during Bihar's monsoon months?
What maintenance does a rooftop system need?
Panels generate 30–50% of peak output under heavy overcast — enough to cover daytime loads. Our galvanized mounting structures are rated for Bihar's wind and rainfall loads; generation data from our installations confirms no structural incidents across three monsoon cycles.
On-grid systems export surplus to the SBPDCL/NBPDCL grid and earn net-metering credits — the right choice for homes with a reliable utility connection. Off-grid suits farms or sites where grid supply is absent or highly unreliable.
Panel cleaning every four to six weeks during dry season, wiring inspection once a year, and inverter firmware checks. CKT's lifetime maintenance support means one call schedules the visit — no third-party coordination needed.
