Change the best-case example
Illustrative 4 kW system sized to cover all estimated use. Not a roof or eligibility check. Moving the bill slider resets these figures.
The best-case example assumes ₹0 energy charges after installation. Fixed charges can remain.
Assumed subsidy follows the 1, 2 and 3+ kW central tiers.
This is an illustration, not a quote. Estimates units at ₹8 each, 120 units/month per kW, ₹60,000 installed per kW, full bill offset and ₹78,000 possible subsidy. Fixed charges, loan interest, maintenance, panel ageing and tariff changes are excluded. Roof suitability and local approval are not checked. The government lists subsidy tiers and generation estimates by system size.
Already have a solar quote? Check the maths.
Use the numbers your installer gave you. We will show the price after the stated subsidy, a simple payback time and how the EMI compares with the claimed bill saving.

Price minus entered subsidyEnter a valid price
Simple payback from claimed savingsAdd a valid saving
We do not verify the installer’s figures or your subsidy. This simple payback excludes loan interest and maintenance. Subsidy may arrive later. ₹0 upfront still means you owe the loan.
What should a proper solar quote tell you?
Before you pay anyone, ask for these numbers in writing:
- Full price, including installation
- System size and expected electricity generation
- Subsidy you may qualify for, and when you receive it
- Down payment, EMI and total loan repayment, if you borrow
- Roof shade check, panel and inverter details, warranty and after-sales service
Compare the price after any eligible subsidy, not just the headline price. Subsidy and loan terms are not guaranteed.
If you want help, here’s what happens
We talk about your home
We’ll ask about your roof, your bill and what you want from solar.
You ask for the full cost
If solar looks suitable, the next step is a written quote. You can compare it with your current electricity spend before deciding.
Common questions, simple answers
How much does solar cost?
It depends on the system size, your roof and your city. Ask for the full installed price in a written quote. If you are in Bengaluru, see our simple solar cost guide.
Will my electricity bill become zero?
It can happen in some billing periods, but it is not automatic or something that starts only after the panels pay for themselves. A properly sized system may bring electricity charges close to zero as soon as it starts generating. Fixed charges and any net grid use can still leave a bill.
Can I get a government subsidy?
Some homes may qualify. The amount and rules can change. Check the official PM Surya Ghar website before relying on a subsidy.
Can I pay by EMI?
It may be possible through a lender. Ask how much you must pay upfront, the monthly EMI and the total amount you’ll repay.
Will solar work during a power cut?
A regular grid-connected system usually stops during a power cut. If you need backup power, ask about a battery system.
Do I need to upload my bill now?
No. You can use the quick check without uploading anything. We’ll ask for more details only if you request a call.
