Step 1:
Solar panels generate electricity
Step 2:
Inverter converts it to usable power
Step 3:
Save money with net metering
Connected to electricity board supply. No battery needed. Reduces your electricity bill. Does not work during power cut.
Not connected to electricity board. Works with batteries. Good for areas with no regular electricity.
Connected to electricity board + has battery backup. Saves bill and also works during power cut.
The cost of rooftop solar depends on the system size.
Approximate prices:
| System Size | Price Without Subsidy |
|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹60,000 – ₹80,000 |
| 2 kW | ₹1,20,000 – ₹1,60,000 |
| 3 kW | ₹1,80,000 – ₹2,40,000 |
| 5 kW | ₹3,00,000 – ₹3,80,000 |
With government subsidy, the cost can reduce significantly.
Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the Indian government provides subsidy for residential rooftop solar systems.
Typical subsidy structure:
1–2 kW: ₹30,000 per kW
3 kW: Up to ₹78,000 total subsidy
Above 3 kW: Maximum subsidy ₹78,000
The subsidy is available only for residential rooftop installations.
The recommended solar system size depends on your monthly electricity bill.
Approximate suggestion:
| Monthly Bill | Suggested Solar System |
|---|---|
| ₹1,000 – ₹2,000 | 1 kW |
| ₹2,000 – ₹4,000 | 2 kW |
| ₹4,000 – ₹6,000 | 3 kW |
| ₹6,000 – ₹10,000 | 5 kW |
Your installer may adjust this based on roof space and electricity consumption.
On average:
1 kW solar system requires 80–100 sq ft roof area
Examples:
2 kW → 160–200 sq ft
3 kW → 240–300 sq ft
5 kW → 400–500 sq ft
The roof should be shadow-free for maximum efficiency.
Most solar panels last 25 years or more.
Manufacturers typically provide:
25-year performance warranty
10–12 year product warranty
Even after 25 years, panels still produce around 75–80% of their original capacity.
If your solar system is connected with a grid-tied inverter, it will not work during power cuts for safety reasons.
To get electricity during outages, you need:
Hybrid solar inverter
Solar battery backup
Yes, rooftop solar is a great investment in India due to high electricity tariffs and abundant sunlight. Most residential solar systems recover their cost within 3–5 years, and since solar panels last 25+ years, homeowners can enjoy long-term savings on electricity bills.
Yes, many states in India allow net metering, where excess electricity generated by your rooftop solar system is exported to the grid and adjusted against your electricity bill.
The most commonly used solar panels for homes are:
Monocrystalline panels – higher efficiency and better for limited roof space
Polycrystalline panels – more affordable but slightly lower efficiency
Most homeowners prefer monocrystalline solar panels for better performance.
Solar panels require very little maintenance. Basic maintenance includes:
Cleaning panels once or twice per month
Ensuring no dust, leaves, or bird droppings cover the panels
Checking inverter performance periodically
Regular cleaning helps maintain maximum efficiency.
