Residential solar has never been more affordable in India than in 2026. With the updated PM-Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, a standard 3 kW system can be installed with a significant government subsidy, bringing the effective cost down for millions of middle-class families.
ROI and Payback
A 3 kW system typically generates about 12-15 units of electricity per day. In states like Rajasthan or Gujarat, this can lead to monthly savings of ₹3,000 to ₹4,500. With a total system cost of roughly ₹1.8 Lakhs (before subsidy) and a subsidy of ₹78,000, the net investment of ~₹1 Lakh is recovered in less than 3 years.
