3 kW solar: questions
Why is 3 kW the most popular solar system size?
3 kW is where the PM Surya Ghar subsidy tops out at ₹78,000, and it is also the upper limit for the subsidised, collateral-free solar loan. For a typical Indore home using 300–400 units a month it cuts the bill by 80–100%.
How much does a 3 kW solar system save per month in Indore?
It generates about 360 units a month. At an effective tariff of around ₹7.5 per unit, that is roughly ₹2,700 a month, or ₹32,000–₹33,000 in the first year, rising as tariffs increase.
How much solar subsidy can I get in Madhya Pradesh?
Under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, homes get ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the third kW — ₹30,000 for 1 kW, ₹60,000 for 2 kW and a maximum of ₹78,000 for 3 kW or more. Housing societies and RWAs get ₹18,000 per kW for common facilities.
Who is eligible for the PM Surya Ghar solar subsidy?
An Indian household with its own house and roof suitable for solar, a valid domestic electricity connection, and no earlier solar subsidy on that connection. The system must use DCR (domestic content) modules and be installed by a vendor registered on the national portal.
