Of course! Governments across the country are encouraging people to harness renewable sources of energy. The advantages of solar energy is known to all but people usually shy away due to the perceived high costs of solar rooftop installation. Unfortunately, the perceived high cost is just half-truth. Depending on the city, new solar customers are entitled to a set subsidy when they opt for installing solar panels on the roof. Most states provide a 30-40% subsidy on rooftop solar for residential premises while some others may even allow it for businesses and institutions.
