Residential Solar
YOUR ROOF.YOUR POWER PLANT.
Turnkey residential solar EPC with full subsidy management under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. From a 1 kW starter system to a 10 kW whole-home solution, we design, install, and maintain your energy independence.
The Opportunity
Why residential solar in Rajasthan?
Rajasthan receives over 300 sunny days per year with an average solar irradiance of 5.5–6.0 peak sun hours daily — making it one of the highest-yielding states in India for rooftop solar. A typical Jaipur household paying ₹4,000–₹8,000/month in electricity can completely eliminate that bill with a correctly sized system.
Under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, the Government of India provides direct subsidies of up to ₹78,000 for systems of 3 kW and above. Combined with net-metering — where your excess generation earns credits on the grid — the average payback period is just 2.5 to 4 years.
After payback, every unit your system generates is essentially free electricity for 20+ years. With DISCOM tariffs increasing 3–6% annually, the value of your solar system actually increases with time — it's a financial asset that appreciates.
System Sizing Guide
Which system size is right for you?
System size depends on your monthly electricity consumption, available roof area, and budget. Here's a practical guide based on typical Rajasthan households.
| Parameter | 1 kW | 2 kW | 3 kW ★ | 5 kW | 10 kW |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Generation | 120–140 units | 240–280 units | 360–420 units | 600–700 units | 1,200–1,400 units |
| Monthly Bill Offset | ₹800–₹1,200 | ₹1,600–₹2,400 | ₹2,500–₹3,500 | ₹4,000–₹6,000 | ₹8,000–₹12,000 |
| No. of Panels (580W+) | 2 | 4 | 6 | 9 | 18 |
| Roof Area Needed | ~60 sq ft | ~120 sq ft | ~180 sq ft | ~300 sq ft | ~600 sq ft |
| Central Subsidy (MNRE) | ₹30,000 | ₹60,000 | ₹78,000 | ₹78,000 | ₹78,000 |
| Best For | 1 BHK, low usage | 2 BHK, moderate | 3 BHK — most popular | Large home, AC usage | Villa, multi-storey |
Generation based on Jaipur irradiance (5.5 peak sun hours/day), Tier-1 N-Type TOPCon Bifacial panels, 0.4% annual degradation. Subsidy per MNRE PM Surya Ghar 2024–25.
How It Works
From sunlight to savings — in 4 steps.
Panels Generate DC Power
Sunlight hits N-Type TOPCon Bifacial panels and is converted to DC electricity. A 5 kW system uses 9 panels on your roof.
Inverter Converts to AC
A grid-tied inverter converts DC to 230V AC — the same power your appliances use. Smart inverters monitor generation via app.
Net Meter Tracks Flow
Your DISCOM bi-directional meter records both import (grid usage) and export (excess solar sent to the grid).
You Pay the Difference
Your bill reflects only net consumption. Excess credits carry forward. Most families see 80–90% bill reduction from Day 1.

25-Year Financial Projection
The real numbers — after subsidy.
Your effective investment is recovered in 2.5–4 years. Everything after that is pure savings that compounds as tariffs rise annually.
| System Size | Approx. Cost (After Subsidy) | Estimated 25-Year Savings | Return on Investment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 kW | ~₹1.08 Lakh | ~₹15+ Lakh | ~14× |
| 5 kW | ~₹2.32 Lakh | ~₹30+ Lakh | ~13× |
| 10 kW | ~₹4.82 Lakh | ~₹65+ Lakh | ~13× |
Estimates based on Jaipur irradiance (5.5 hrs/day), 3% annual tariff escalation, 1% annual panel degradation. Actual results vary by location and consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know.
How much can I save with rooftop solar?
Most homeowners reduce electricity bills by 80–90% from Day 1. With DISCOM tariffs rising 3–6% annually, your savings compound every year for 25+ years. A 5 kW system in Jaipur typically saves ₹30+ Lakh over its lifetime.
What is the PM Surya Ghar subsidy and how do I get it?
The central government provides ₹30,000/kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the 3rd kW — up to ₹78,000 for 3 kW and above. The subsidy is credited directly to your bank account after DISCOM inspection. SOLGURU handles the entire application — you don't visit any office.
How long does installation take?
Physical installation takes 1–3 days. The full timeline from site survey to commissioning is 30–45 days. Most waiting time is DISCOM processing.
What maintenance does a solar system need?
Minimal — monthly panel cleaning with water and an annual electrical check. Panels have no moving parts and last 25+ years. SOLGURU offers O&M plans with remote monitoring.
Will solar work during monsoon?
Yes. Panels generate at 25–40% capacity in overcast conditions. Rajasthan's monsoon is short (July–September) — the rest of the year provides exceptional irradiance.
What happens to excess electricity?
Under net-metering, excess units are exported to the grid. Your bi-directional meter records both import and export. You only pay for net consumption. Unused credits carry forward.
Does solar damage my roof?
No. Mounting structures distribute weight evenly and are non-penetrating on RCC roofs. Panels actually protect your roof from direct sun, reducing heat transfer into your home.
What if I sell my house?
Solar increases property value. The system stays with the property, the new owner inherits the net-metering connection, and the subsidy does not need to be refunded.
Are you a solar installer or electrician?
SOLGURU works with local installation partners across Rajasthan. We provide leads, Tier-1 procurement at EPC pricing, DISCOM paperwork support, and post-installation warranty backing. If you're a skilled installer looking for consistent project flow — let's talk.
