Residential solar has become significantly more affordable in India. Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, a standard 3 kW system can be installed with a government subsidy, bringing the effective cost down for many households.

ROI and Payback (Estimates Only)

A 3 kW system's actual generation and savings depend heavily on your location, roof orientation, shading, and local electricity tariff — figures will differ between states and even between rooftops in the same city. As an indicative example only, a well-sited 3 kW system in a high-irradiation region could generate roughly 12-15 units per day, and with a system cost of around ₹1.8-2 lakh before subsidy and a central subsidy of up to ₹78,000, payback periods commonly range from a few years depending on your actual consumption and tariff.
