Pricing clarity
Solar pricing should never be a mystery. Below are indicative bands for India-style projects-your formal quote after survey will reflect structure, distance, components, and local charges.
On-grid rooftop
₹45k–70k
Per kW installed (indicative, residential band)
Hybrid premium
Battery +
Adds battery & hybrid inverter cost vs on-grid
Payback (typical)
3–6 yr
On-grid, high self-consumption & good tariff
O&M
~1%
Of project cost / year (cleaning + checks, indicative)
Reference table
“System cost” here means turnkey EPC-style supply + install + basic commissioning. Subsidy (if applicable) may reduce your net outlay—handled case by case.
| System type | Typical size | Indicative turnkey band | Payback / value |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-grid residential | 3–10 kW | ~₹45,000–70,000 / kW | Often 3–6 years vs pre-solar bill |
| On-grid commercial | 20–500 kW | ~₹38,000–55,000 / kW | Economies of scale; depends on import/export rules |
| Off-grid | 2–5 kW PV + battery | ~₹1.4L–5L+ total | Compared to diesel / unreliable grid costs |
| Hybrid (solar + battery + grid) | 5–20 kW class | On-grid rate + battery pack & hybrid inverter | Savings + outage protection for operations |
| Solar submersible pump | 3–10 HP common | ~₹45,000–95,000 / HP (site dependent) | Diesel & maintenance avoided |
| Solar water heater (FPC/ETC) | 100–500 LPD | ~₹12,000–35,000 / 100 LPD band | Lower geyser electricity or fuel bills |
| Solar atta chakki / productive use | Motor-driven load | Scoped after motor & run-hour study | Cost per kg / hour of milling improves |
Same kW on paper can land at different prices—here is why.
High wind zones, elevated sheds, or ballasted systems need heavier engineering and hardware.
Long AC/DC distances, conduit vs tray, and trenching increase copper and labor.
Module efficiency, inverter brand, and warranty tiers move ₹/kW within a healthy band.
Net metering fees, bi-directional meters, and third-party inspections vary by DISCOM.
Illustrative savings
Not your home—just a rounded story to show the shape of savings when self-consumption and net metering work in your favor.
Actual numbers depend on generation, tariff slabs, export settlement, and your usage pattern.
Excludes: DISCOM fees (passed through), major civil retrofits unless scoped, and optional AMC.
Central or state rooftop subsidy schemes change over time. If you qualify, we help with documentation—but the credited amount and timeline follow the issuing agency.
Net metering rules (settlement period, banking cap, fixed charges) directly affect savings. We explain the current DISCOM position for your address before you sign.
Many customers use bank or NBFC green loans. We can share indicative EMI math once you have a finalized BOQ and tenure in mind—loan approval stays between you and the lender.
Get a BOQ to take to your bank →Same roof, different objectives.
Lowest cost per kW when grid is stable and goal is bill reduction.
Higher upfront cost; justified when outages hurt productivity or comfort.
Roof type, cable lengths, component choices, and the year of purchase all shift price. Comparing only ₹/kW without those details is misleading.
We compete on transparent BOQ and safe execution—not on hiding cheaper cables or skipping protections. If something is cheaper, we explain what changed.
Typically advance on order, progress at material dispatch / structure completion, and balance at commissioning—exact splits are in your proposal.
