Ashis Parida July 9, 2025India’s energy future is being built—one rooftop at a time.
In 2022, the small village of Modhera in Gujarat made headlines by becoming India’s first solar-powered village. With every home equipped with rooftop solar panels and a local battery storage system, Modhera not only gained energy independence but also inspired a movement — a quiet revolution that’s now reaching mohallas (neighbourhoods) across the country.
🌞 The Modhera Model: A Template for the Nation
Modhera’s transformation was backed by the central and state governments, showcasing what’s possible when policy, technology, and people align. Homes there now enjoy zero electricity bills, round-the-clock clean power, and a sense of community pride.
This success story didn’t stay local. It lit a spark that’s now spreading to towns and villages across India — including here in Odisha, where rooftop solar is no longer a distant dream, but a government-backed opportunity.
🌍 From Villages to Cities: Solar is the Future
From tribal hamlets in Odisha to bustling urban rooftops in Delhi and Bengaluru, India’s solar story is scaling. What was once seen as experimental is now accessible, affordable, and encouraged.
Many local residents have already joined this movement, especially in areas where grid electricity was unreliable. For them, rooftop solar brings light at night, savings every month, and pride in going green.
🛠️ How You Can Be Part of the Movement
Whether you’re a homeowner, school administrator, or part of a housing society — if you have a rooftop, you can now harness the power of the sun with up to 40–60% subsidy under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.
⚡ What Is PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana?
The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana 2024 is a central government initiative that enables Indian households to install rooftop solar panels for free, with:
- Up to ₹78,000 in solar subsidies for residential system
- 300 units of free electricity per month
- Installation under the RESCO (Renewable Energy Service Company) model
- No upfront cost for homeowners
✅ Key Benefits:
- Zero capital investment
- Long-term energy savings
- Reduced electricity bills
- Cleaner, greener energy for homes and villages
As a registered solar EPC and RESCO partner, Grinity Intellect helps eligible homes and housing societies across Odisha apply for the scheme and manage the full installation process.
🏘️ What Is a Model Solar Village?
A model solar village is a community where all homes and public utilities—like street lights, schools, and pumps—are powered by solar energy. Modhera in Gujarat became India’s first such village in 2022, equipped with:
- Solar rooftop systems on every home
- A centralized battery energy storage system (BESS)
- Smart meters and real-time monitoring
The result? Residents enjoy 24×7 power supply, zero electricity bills, and energy independence.
