How much would it cost to install a 3kW solar system Is government subsidy applicable If yes, how can you avail it

How much would it cost to go solar? Are there any subsidies available?

 

Assuming you will be using high-quality solar panels, a 1 kW solar system will typically cost between Rs 60,000 and Rs 70,000. However, this amount may vary depending on your location and the type of installer you choose.

Therefore, a 5 kW solar system will cost you around Rs 3,00,000 (Rs 60,000 * 5 kW).

India has a National Subsidy Scheme for which a National Portal for Rooftop Solar was launched on the 30th of July, 2022.

Here are the subsidy calculation parameters:

System Capacity Subsidy Available
Up to 3 kW ₹ 14,588/kW
 

Above 3 kW and up to 10 kW

₹14,588/kW for the first 3kW; thereafter, ₹7294/kW
Above 10 kW ₹94,822 fixed

There are 3 main eligibility criteria to get subsidy:

  • You can get a subsidy for your solar system by using India-made panels approved by MNRE
  • It is only available for On-grid solar system and Hybrid solar systems
  • If you’re a homeowner, you can enjoy a subsidy for up to 10 kW residential solar projects.

Therefore, total estimated cost for the solar systems including subsidy will be:

(including subsidy)

3 kW 2,00,000 43,764 1,56,236
