Rooftop Solar FAQs
How much PM Surya Ghar subsidy can a home get?
Under PM Surya Ghar, residential rooftop solar using DCR (ALMM-listed) panels receives ₹30,000 for systems up to 1 kW, ₹60,000 up to 2 kW, and ₹78,000 for 3–10 kW. Systems above 10 kW, commercial projects and non-DCR panels are not eligible. Use the D'Clair Energy EMI calculator to estimate net cost after subsidy.
How much does rooftop solar cost for a home in Surat?
D'Clair Energy prices rooftop solar on a tiered per-kW basis, starting at approximately ₹55,000/kW for 1–10 kW systems before the PM Surya Ghar subsidy. A typical 3 kW residential system therefore lands around ₹1,65,000 before a ₹78,000 subsidy. Final pricing depends on brand, roof type and current market rates.
How much roof area is needed for a rooftop solar system?
As a working rule, each kilowatt of rooftop solar needs roughly 80–100 sq ft of shadow-free roof area, so a 3 kW home system needs about 250–300 sq ft. Housing societies with larger terraces can support proportionally bigger systems on flat or sloped roofs.
How long does a home solar system take to pay back?
Rooftop solar in India typically pays back in 3–5 years. The D'Clair Energy EMI calculator assumes 4 kWh generated per kW per day (the India average) and factors in your electricity tariff plus annual tariff escalation to estimate payback and total 25-year savings.
Can a housing society pay for solar in EMI?
Yes. Solar loans are available at approximately 8% p.a. on amounts up to ₹40,00,000 and 8.5% p.a. above that, over 5, 6 or 7 year tenures. The D'Clair Energy EMI calculator applies these rates and the PM Surya Ghar subsidy to show a monthly figure.
Which panels qualify for the residential subsidy?
Only DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) panels — ALMM-listed and manufactured in India — qualify for the PM Surya Ghar subsidy. D'Clair Energy supplies ALMM-certified APS (Australian Premium Solar) panels along with Adani Solar and Waaree for residential rooftop work.
