How Solar Subsidy Calculation Works

System Cost Calculation

Total system cost = System size × 1000W × ₹67/W = 3 kW × 1000 × ₹67 = ₹2,01,000

Industry standard rate: ₹67 per watt including panels, inverter, mounting, and installation

Central Subsidy (PM Surya Ghar)

First 2 kW @ ₹30,000 + Next 1 kW @ ₹18,000 = ₹78,000
