## How to compare quotes

Ask every installer for an itemised quote listing module and inverter **make and model**, structure specification, cable brand and size, earthing and protection, and exactly which paperwork is included. A lower per-kW price often means a thinner structure, no lightning protection or no paperwork. See [how to choose a solar installer](/learn/how-to-choose-solar-installer-indore).

## FAQ

### How much does a rooftop solar system cost in Indore?

A turnkey on-grid home system with subsidy-eligible (DCR) modules typically costs ₹58,000–₹78,000 per kW before subsidy in 2026, depending on size and structure. A 3 kW system is usually ₹1.75–2.05 lakh before the ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar subsidy, so roughly ₹0.97–1.27 lakh after it. Elevated structures add about ₹8,000–₹15,000 per kW.

### What is included in the price of a solar system?

Our quotes are turnkey: solar modules, inverter, mounting structure, DC and AC cables, AC and DC distribution boxes, earthing, lightning arrester, installation labour, net-metering and subsidy paperwork, and commissioning. DISCOM fees for the net meter and any load enhancement are shown separately.

### Why does an elevated structure cost more?

An elevated structure uses taller, heavier galvanised columns, more bracing and concrete pedestals so the array stands 2–3 metres above the roof. It needs more steel and labour, but keeps the terrace usable and lifts the modules above shadows from tanks and parapets.

### Why do solar quotes in Indore vary so much?

Differences usually come from module type (DCR vs non-DCR, PERC vs TOPCon), inverter brand, structure height and steel thickness, cable quality, earthing and lightning protection, and whether paperwork and after-sales service are included. Compare itemised quotes, not just the per-kW number.

### How much can I save with solar in Indore?

Each kW of solar in Indore generates about 4 units a day, or roughly 1,450 units a year. At an effective tariff of ₹7–8 per unit, that is ₹10,000–₹11,500 of savings per kW per year. A 3 kW home system typically saves about ₹2,700 a month.

### What is the payback period of solar panels in Indore?

For homes that use most of what they generate, payback is typically 3–5 years after the PM Surya Ghar subsidy. For businesses on commercial or industrial tariffs it is often 3–4 years even without subsidy. After payback, the system continues producing for another 20 years or more.
