The right size depends on your actual consumption and on how much usable roof you have, and is confirmed at the site survey rather than picked from this list. To size against your own bill, try the solar vs your bill calculator.
What affects the final cost?
- Roof structure: an RCC slab, a sheet roof and a tiled roof need different mounting.
- Installation height: an elevated structure costs more than one fixed close to the slab.
- Panel and inverter choice: the brand and type you choose moves the price within each range.
- Cable run length: the distance from the array to your meter and distribution board.

Understand PM Surya Ghar eligibility
PM Surya Ghar is a central government scheme for residential rooftop solar. The amounts the scheme sets are:
- 1 kW: ₹30,000
- 2 kW: ₹60,000
- 3 kW & above: ₹78,000
Whether a particular installation qualifies, and when the money is paid, depend on the scheme’s own requirements and process and on your DISCOM. That is why the prices on this page are shown before any subsidy. Read the full PM Surya Ghar subsidy guide for eligibility and how applications work.
Solar price questions, answered
Does this price include the PM Surya Ghar subsidy?
No. Every price on this page is the gross price for the system, before any government subsidy. The PM Surya Ghar subsidy is a government scheme with its own eligibility requirements and its own application and disbursement process, so it is explained separately rather than taken off these figures.
What is included in the price?
The panels, the inverter, the mounting structure, wiring, earthing and protection hardware, and installation on your roof. The final quotation after a site survey lists exactly what your system includes for your roof.
Will my system generate the units shown here?
Not necessarily. The 3 kW and 5 kW figures are monthly averages measured on Origian systems in the Anantapur region; the other sizes are estimated from the same yield. Real output varies with location, shading, roof orientation, weather and system design, and Telangana output has not yet been measured on an Origian system.
Is this the final price?
No. These are ranges. The final price depends on your roof, the structure height, the panel and inverter you choose and the cable runs on your site, and is set in a written quotation after a free site survey.
