3 kW Solar System Price Breakdown (Indicative)
The total installed cost is approximately ₹1,80,000–₹2,25,000 before subsidy for an on-grid system. This indicative price includes solar panels, an inverter, a mounting structure, installation and net-meter charges. The exact price depends on your roof, the components chosen and site access.
Subsidy: Get ₹85,800 Back
Himachal Pradesh is a special-category state, so a 3 kW system gets ₹85,800 under the PM Surya Ghar subsidy, credited to your bank account. After the subsidy, the net cost is approximately ₹95,000–₹1,40,000.
How Much Electricity Does a 3 kW System Generate?
A 3 kW system generates about 12 units per day on average, or roughly 360 units per month (estimate). Actual generation varies with roof direction, shade and season.
Is 3 kW Right for Your Home?
Use your monthly bill as a guide: bills under ₹2,000 usually suit a 2 kW system, bills of ₹2,000–3,500 suit a 3 kW system, and higher bills may need a 5 kW system. A site survey gives a more exact recommendation.
