How Much Does a Rooftop Solar System Cost in India in 2026?

A transparent breakdown of solar installation costs for 1–10 kW systems, payback periods, and how the PM Surya Ghar subsidy reshapes your final out-of-pocket.

Typical 2026 pricing in India

Indicative all-inclusive on-grid prices: 1 kW — ₹65,000–₹80,000; 2 kW — ₹1,30,000–₹1,55,000; 3 kW — ₹1,90,000–₹2,30,000; 5 kW — ₹3,10,000–₹3,75,000; 10 kW — ₹6,00,000–₹7,20,000. Prices include panels, inverter, mounting structure, cabling, installation, and standard net-metering paperwork.

What's included?

TATA Power Solar Mono PERC / TOPCon panels, a brand-name string or hybrid inverter, GI / aluminium mounting structure, DC and AC cables, ACDB / DCDB protection units, lightning arrestor, earthing kit, and full electrical commissioning.

After subsidy — your true out-of-pocket

For a 3 kW system at ~₹2,10,000 — central subsidy of ₹78,000 brings it down to ₹1,32,000. In Uttar Pradesh, an extra ₹30,000 UPNEDA top-up takes it to about ₹1,02,000 — recoverable in 3 to 4 years of bill savings.

Hybrid and off-grid systems

Battery storage adds ₹50,000–₹80,000 per kWh of usable battery (lithium-ion). Hybrid systems are increasingly popular in tier-2 cities prone to long outages.
