How Much Solar Power Does a 1.5 Ton AC Need?
A standard 1.5 Ton AC consumes roughly 1.5 to 2 units per hour. To run this AC comfortably during the day without relying on the grid, a 3kW system is recommended. This system generates about 12-15 units daily, which is sufficient for 6-8 hours of AC usage plus other household appliances.
Cost and Subsidy
The cost of a 3kW system is approximately ₹1,60,000. Under the PM Surya Ghar scheme, you get ₹78,000 subsidy, making your net investment only ₹82,000.
