Where the money goes in a typical ₹3,00,000 on-grid 6kW rooftop system (before subsidy):
| Component | What you get | Approx. cost |
|---|---|---|
| Solar panels | 11 × 550W Mono PERC / TOPCon (DCR for subsidy) | ₹1,44,000 – ₹1,92,000 |

| Installation & net meter | Labour, DISCOM paperwork, net meter | ₹15,000 – ₹30,000 |
| Type | Price before subsidy | Works in power cut? |
|---|---|---|

The ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar subsidy applies to both when a registered vendor installs DCR panels with net metering. Panel brand also changes the price: Waaree, Adani and Tata panels cost roughly ₹25–₹38 per watt, so 6kW of panels costs about ₹1,50,000 – ₹2,28,000. Installers quote complete systems, so compare at least three quotes. See the solar panel price list, solar inverter price list, or the free solar calculator.
The PM Surya Ghar central subsidy of ₹78,000 for a 6kW system applies in most states and UTs; hill, North-East and island states get 10% more (₹85,800, shown in the table below). The only state top-up is in Uttar Pradesh, which adds a state-level top-up subsidy (₹15,000/kW, capped at ₹30,000), bringing its net price down further.
