The Suman Bunker 5kW PM Surya Solar Project, installed by GreatSun Power in Rajasthan, stands as a testament to the rapid adoption of sustainable energy solutions in India’s residential and small business sectors. This project leverages the benefits of the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, a government initiative aimed at empowering citizens with access to clean, affordable power while significantly reducing their reliance on conventional electricity sources.
Project Overview
The Suman Bunker project comprises a modern 5kW rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system, strategically installed to maximize sunlight exposure throughout the year. Consisting of high-efficiency solar panels, a reliable inverter, and a robust mounting structure, the system efficiently meets the energy needs of the property, whether residential or commercial. With an estimated generation capacity of up to 20 kWh per day or approximately 7,200 kWh annually, the installation allows for substantial electricity savings and a notable reduction in monthly utility bills.
Objectives and Benefits
The main objectives of the Suman Bunker 5kW solar installation were to:
-
Provide eco-friendly and cost-effective electricity via solar power for daily operations.
-
Support the client’s commitment to green energy and environmental leadership in the local community.
-
Avail the government’s PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana subsidy, making solar power affordable for residents.
-
Reduce grid dependency by producing a significant proportion of the property’s energy needs on-site.
-
Enable efficient operation of common appliances, including lighting, fans, air conditioning, refrigerators, and more.
By harnessing solar energy, the client enjoys not only lower energy expenses but also contributes to carbon footprint reduction, playing a vital role in Rajasthan’s journey toward energy self-sufficiency and environmental sustainability.

Implementation Highlights
The installation process at Suman Bunker was completed by a skilled project team from GreatSun Power, ensuring adherence to the highest safety and performance standards. Due care was taken to select an optimal rooftop location that provides year-round sunlight exposure. The equipment used meets current MNRE guidelines and ALMM standards, qualifying the project for government subsidies under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.
Economic and Environmental Impact
Investing in a 5kW solar system offers rapid payback through monthly energy savings. With the current cost of such systems in India ranging from Rs. 3.15 lakhs to 3.57 lakhs, Suman Bunker is expected to break even within a few years owing to lowered bills and government incentives. The project offsets several tons of CO₂ emissions annually, supporting both client and national goals of environmental stewardship.
Maintenance and Support
Very little ongoing maintenance is required. The GreatSun Power team provides periodic inspections and cleaning guidance, ensuring maximum output and longevity for all installed equipment. Performance warranties further ensure decades of reliable green energy supply.
