PM Surya Ghar Yojana: How This Scheme Is Helping Families Cut Electricity Bills

For many middle-class families, the monthly electricity bill is more than just another expense. It often influences everyday decisions, from limiting air conditioner use to switching off appliances whenever possible. As power costs continue to rise, finding a long-term solution has become a priority for many households.

A recent collaboration featuring the popular web series Gullak has brought this issue into the spotlight by showing how rooftop solar panels can ease both financial stress and daily worries.

A Story That Feels Familiar

The campaign began with two special episodes, Aman's Farewell and Papa's Male Ego, released in July 2026. Together, they attracted over 3.2 million views across social media platforms.

The story follows the Mishra family as they struggle with soaring electricity bills during a hot summer. Like many Indian households, they want comfort without worrying about the next power bill. To solve the problem, family head Santosh Mishra decides to install rooftop solar panels, presenting solar energy as a practical financial investment rather than an unnecessary expense.

Addressing Common Concerns

One of the campaign's biggest strengths is that it tackles the questions many families have before considering solar power.
