How Much Can You Save With Rooftop Solar? Real Examples from Delhi & UP
Thinking about rooftop solar but unsure if it’s worth the cost? Let’s break down the actual savings you can expect by installing a solar system at your home in Delhi NCR or Uttar Pradesh.
🌞 What You Spend vs. What You Save
A 3 kW rooftop solar system is the most common size for homes and small businesses. Let’s take that as an example.
🔹 Base Cost (before subsidy): ₹1,99,000 – ₹2,10,000
🔹 Central Govt Subsidy (PM Surya Ghar Yojana): ₹78,000
🔹 State Subsidy (Delhi/UP): ₹30,000
✅ Final Cost: Only ₹91,000 – ₹1,02,000
⚡ How Much Electricity Can You Generate?
A 3 kW system generates about 360–400 units/month or 4,500–5,000 units/year depending on sunlight and panel quality.
Delhi NCR & Eastern UP get good solar exposure throughout the year, so these numbers are very realistic.
💰 Monthly & Annual Savings on Electricity Bill
Let’s assume your average electricity rate is ₹8/unit.
🔹 Monthly Savings: 360–400 units × ₹8 = ₹2,880–₹3,200
🔹 Annual Savings: ₹34,000 – ₹38,000
Payback Time: Just 2.5 to 3 years
Lifetime Savings (25 years): ₹7.5–9 lakhs
Bonus: You’re protected from rising electricity costs!
