For Lucknow, this transition brings multiple advantages—lower electricity costs, improved energy security, and reduced pollution. Rooftop solar systems are helping households and businesses become more self-reliant while contributing to a greener city.

This milestone also reflects a broader trend across Uttar Pradesh, where rooftop solar installations have surged into the lakhs, positioning the state as a major contributor to India’s renewable energy goals.

Lucknow has emerged as India’s leading district in rooftop solar adoption, crossing 87,000 installations and surpassing cities like Surat. This achievement highlights a growing shift toward clean and sustainable energy among residents and businesses.

The rapid rise has been fuelled by supportive policies, subsidies, and schemes such as the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, which has made solar power more affordable. Increasing awareness about long-term savings and environmental benefits has further accelerated adoption.

Lucknow now ranks first in India for rooftop solar installations, with over 87,000 systems. Strong government support and public awareness have driven this growth, making the city a model for clean energy adoption.
