Freyr Energy Accelerates Rooftop Solar in Bhopal, Doubles Capacity to 895 kW

Freyr Energy, one of India’s leading rooftop solar companies, has achieved a major milestone in Bhopal, nearly doubling its solar installations from 460 kW in 2025 to 895 kW in 2026. The company has successfully enabled 229 households in the city to transition to solar energy, with the first quarter of 2026 alone accounting for a significant share of this expansion.

The growth in residential solar adoption is being driven by rising electricity costs and easy financing options, including zero-collateral loans and state and central government subsidies. Freyr Energy’s experience center in Bhopal has played a key role in creating awareness and educating residents about the benefits of rooftop solar.

Under the existing MNRE subsidy structure for residential rooftop solar, homeowners can avail central financial support of ₹60,000 for 2 kW systems and ₹78,000 for systems ranging from 3 kW to 10 kW. Such incentives have made solar adoption more affordable and accelerated the transition to clean energy.

Freyr Energy’s proprietary app and end-to-end service model, covering installation to post-installation support, have further strengthened consumer trust in the region.

Radhika Choudhary, Co-Founder and Director of Freyr Energy, said, “Bhopal is one of our most dynamic markets, and the number of solar installations confirms this. Solar is no longer an option for a few—it has become a preferred energy solution, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Notably, nearly last year’s total installation was achieved in just the first three months of 2026. Each household transitioning to solar brings us closer to India’s goal of 500 GW of solar energy by 2030.”

Overall, Freyr Energy has reached 6.5 MW of rooftop solar capacity across Madhya Pradesh, up from 2.9 MW in 2025, aligning with the Madhya Pradesh Renewable Energy Policy 2025, which targets sourcing 50% of annual power consumption from renewable energy by 2030. The company’s efforts complement the state’s ongoing solar initiatives, including the world’s largest floating solar power plant in Khandwa and the Ultra Mega Solar Park in Rewa.
