Subsidy Amount
For solar panels with capacities up to 2 kW, households can avail of a subsidy of Rs. 30,000 per kilowatt, and Rs 18,000 per kW for additional capacity up to 3 kW. For larger systems exceeding 3 kW, the total subsidy is capped at Rs 78,000. The ideal rooftop solar plant capacity varies based on the average monthly electricity consumption of households. For instance, households consuming 0 to 150 units per month should install 1 to 2 kW systems, with subsidies ranging from Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 60,000. Similarly, households consuming 150 to 300 units per month can install 2 to 3 kW systems and avail subsidies from Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 78,000. For households consuming more than 300 units per month, systems above 3 kW with a subsidy of Rs. 78,000 are advised.
