The cost depends on system size. A 3 kW system costs approximately ₹1.5–1.8 lakhs (before subsidy), a 5 kW system is ₹2.5–3 lakhs, and a 10 kW system ranges from ₹4–5 lakhs. After applying PM Surya Ghar Yojana subsidy (up to ₹78,000), the net cost reduces significantly.
Under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana: For a 1 kW system, you get ₹30,000. For 2 kW, ₹60,000. For 3 kW and above, you get ₹78,000 (maximum for residential). This subsidy is credited directly to your bank account.
Typically 4–6 years for residential systems and 3–5 years for industrial/commercial installations in Gujarat. After payback, you generate FREE electricity for 20+ years.
