How the Estimate Works

The central subsidy

Under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, residential rooftop solar gets central financial assistance of Rs 30,000 for a 1 kW system, Rs 60,000 for 2 kW, and Rs 78,000 for 3 kW or more (the subsidy is capped at 3 kW). Special category states and UTs, including the North-Eastern states, hill states and island UTs, get 10% more: Rs 33,000, Rs 66,000 and Rs 85,800.

Some states add their own top-up subsidy. This calculator does not include state top-ups; check with your state nodal agency or DISCOM.

System size and savings

The calculator converts your bill into monthly units using your electricity rate, then suggests a system size assuming about 120 units per kW per month, which is a typical estimate for India. Generation varies by location, roof direction and shading, so adjust it if your installer gives you a figure.

Savings are limited to the electricity you would otherwise buy. Installed cost per kW varies by brand and location; replace the default with your quote.

Next steps

  • Confirm eligibility and apply on the official national rooftop solar portal.
  • Get quotes from registered vendors and compare cost per kW.
  • Check your roof space and shading with the vendor during the site survey.
