Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: Freyr Energy - one of India’s leading rooftop
solar companies, has
marked a significant milestone in Bhopal by nearly doubling its solar
installations to 895 kW in 2026, up from 460 kW in 2025. The company has
enabled 229 households in the city to transition to solar energy till date. In
the first quarter of 2026 alone, Freyr Energy has significantly expanded its
solar capacity, reflecting the rising adoption of rooftop solar among residents
in Madhya Pradesh’s capital.
This
change is primarily driven by rising electricity costs, and easy financing
options supported by zero collateral loans and subsidies from the state and
central government. Freyr’s experience center in Bhopal has been instrumental
in creating awareness at the grassroots level and educate customers on the
benefits of solar.
MNRE
is currently offering solar subsidies for rooftop solar in the residential
sector under the existing structure. The central financial support is ₹60,000
for 2 kW systems and ₹78,000 for systems from 3 kW up to 10 kW. This subsidy is
encouraging for homeowners as it helps reduce the upfront cost. For instance,
in the case of a 3kW solar system, homeowners can receive ₹78,000 as subsidy,
making rooftop solar more affordable and accelerating residential adoption.
The
company’s proprietary Freyr Energy app supported by digital innovation and
end-to-end service model from the first step of installation to
post-installation support has been a key differentiator in earning consumer
trust in the region.
Radhika
Choudhary, Co-Founder and Director Freyr Energy said, “Bhopal is one of our most
dynamic markets, and the number of solar installations confirm this. This
milestone reflects the change on ground and establishes that solar is no longer
an option for few, it has become a go-to energy solution among residents
especially in Tier 2 and 3 cities. What is particularly encouraging is that
nearly last year’s entire installation was attained in the first three months
of 2026. With every household
transitioning to solar, we are one step closer to reaching India’s solar energy
goal of 500GW by 2030.”
Overall,
the company has reached 6.5 MW of rooftop solar capacity across Madhya Pradesh,
a substantial increase from 2.9 MW in 2025.
Freyr
Energy's initiatives are aligned with the Madhya Pradesh Renewable Energy
Policy 2025, which aims to source 50 per cent of annual power consumption from
renewable energy by 2030. By complementing the state's existing achievements in
solar energy, such as the world's largest floating solar power plant in Khandwa
and the Ultra Mega Solar Park in Rewa, Freyr Energy is contributing to Madhya
Pradesh's renewable energy potential.
