Compare residential solar subsidy ceilings by state and system size. Central assistance and additional state support are separate; published limits are not guaranteed payments.
Solar calculator · State-wise solar subsidy guideThe right system depends on your grid connection,
energy needs, and backup priorities.
Solar powers your property while the grid supplies any shortfall. Surplus can be exported where local metering rules permit. A standard on-grid system has no battery backup and shuts down during power cuts for safety.
A standalone system uses solar panels, a suitable inverter, and typically batteries to supply power without a grid connection. Battery and panel capacity must be designed around daily loads and periods with limited sunshine.
A suitably configured hybrid system combines solar, grid power, and batteries. Backup circuits and safe isolation can keep selected loads running during outages; capability depends on the inverter and battery design.
The solar calculator estimates panel capacity from monthly energy use. It does not size batteries, backup duration, or peak appliance loads. Ask our team for a site-specific design.
The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana supports eligible households in adopting rooftop solar. We'll help you understand the scheme and navigate the next steps.

No jargon. Just a helpful conversation.
Enter your average monthly electricity consumption to estimate a system that could generate the same amount of energy. Don't know your units? Use your electricity bill instead.
Use a 12-month average for a better estimate.Planning estimate only: 30 days/month, 80% system performance after losses, 550 W panels, and roughly 100 sq ft of rooftop per kW including spacing. Designed to offset monthly energy, not guarantee zero bills or power during outages. Shading, seasons, roof layout, sanctioned load, and local grid rules require a site assessment. Battery sizing, installation costs, and subsidies are not included.
