MNRE Launches SUNtosh WhatsApp Chatbot for Solar Savings

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy launched SUNtosh. It is a WhatsApp chatbot that helps families find out how much they can save with solar power. This tool is part of PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana and makes checking rooftop solar potential easy.

There is no need to download apps or make complex accounts. Just scan the QR code to start a chat. You only need to share two things: your approved electricity load and your last monthly bill amount.

Solar savings report details

The chatbot gives a quick report that shows:

• Recommended solar capacity for your home.
• Estimated subsidy amount you can get.
• Expected drop in monthly electricity bills.
• Total savings over the system's lifetime.

This scheme removes confusion about solar costs and subsidies. Using WhatsApp helps families in cities and villages switch to clean energy more easily.
