Manohar Jyoti Yojana 2026: Solar Home System Apply Online at Saral Haryana Portal

Haryana government's Manohar Jyoti Yojana is accepting applications for solar home lighting systems through the Antyodaya SARAL portal at saralharyana.gov.in. Under this scheme, eligible families get a subsidised solar home system that runs a fan, two LED lights and a mobile charging port.

Manohar Jyoti Yojana is run by the Renewable Energy Department, Government of Haryana. The main aim is to give clean and affordable electricity to households that face regular power cuts or have no electricity connection at all. The scheme targets around 1 lakh solar lighting systems across the state. In the first phase, about 16,700 families are expected to benefit, with a total estimated cost of around ₹37.50 crore.

Haryana Manohar Jyoti Yojana 2026

Manohar Jyoti Solar Home Lighting System is open for eligible families of Haryana through the Antyodaya SARAL portal. The solar home system includes a 150-watt solar photovoltaic (SPV) module, a 12.8V 80Ah lithium ferro phosphate battery, two LED luminaries of 6 watts each, one 9-watt LED tube light, a 25-watt DC ceiling fan and one USB port for mobile charging. This single system is enough to take care of basic lighting, air cooling and phone charging needs of a family.

The cost of a solar lighting system is around ₹22,500. A general category family has to pay only ₹7,500 because the state government provides a subsidy of ₹15,000 on each system. A Scheduled Caste family gets 90% of the total cost covered by the government, so the family pays only 10% of the total cost.

In the first phase, preference is given to around 2,400 dhanis of four districts, Bhiwani, Hisar, Fatehabad and Sirsa. Families living outside the farming land or more than 1 km away from the village, without an electricity connection, are treated as priority beneficiaries.
