Enter your electricity bill and get an honest estimate of system size, cost after subsidy, yearly savings, and payback period. Built by an energy engineer — every assumption is shown, nothing is hidden.
Takes about 30 seconds. You only really need your monthly bill.
An estimate to help you decide — not a price quote. See how this is calculated, and verify current subsidy & prices before you buy.
Solar isn't automatically a good deal for everyone. Whether it pays off comes down to a few simple factors — here's the plain-English version.
The more electricity you use at a high tariff, the more solar offsets every month. A ₹500 bill rarely justifies the cost; a ₹3,000+ bill usually does. Solar replaces units you'd buy from the grid.
Under PM Surya Ghar, residential systems get a central subsidy up to ₹78,000 — which directly shortens payback. See how it works →
Panels usually carry ~25-year performance warranties. Once the system pays for itself — often within several years — most of what it generates after that is money you keep.
Short, honest explainers from an engineer who doesn't sell panels.
When solar genuinely pays off, when it doesn't, and the questions to ask before spending a rupee.
