Solar Calculator Haryana 2026
Size a rooftop system for your Haryana home and see cost, payback and PM Surya Ghar subsidy of up to 78,000 with UHBVN or DHBVN net metering.
1 Your electricity
Enter your 6-digit PIN to auto-fill your district's average daily generation from NASA satellite data. You can always edit it below.
Indian residential tariffs typically run ₹6–₹9 per unit and rise every year. Check a recent bill for your exact slab rate.
2 Cost & generation
A complete on-grid setup (panels, inverter, structure, wiring, installation) runs about ₹50,000–₹60,000 per kW in 2026. Tier-1 brands (Tata, Adani, Waaree) cost a little more.
Most of India gets about 4 units (kWh) per kW per day on average; sunnier states (Rajasthan, Gujarat) can reach 4.5–5.
3 Subsidy & state top-up
Central subsidy: ₹30,000/kW up to 2 kW, +₹18,000 for the 3rd kW, capped at ₹78,000 for any system 3 kW and above (residential, up to 10 kW). As of May 2026 (per MNRE). Always confirm current rates at pmsuryaghar.gov.in before applying.
Some states add their own subsidy on top of the central one (e.g. Gujarat has offered ₹10,000/kW). Enter your state's per-kW top-up if any — leave 0 if unsure. Verify with your DISCOM.
4 How you'll pay
Indicative estimates only. Subsidy rules and tariffs change by government notification and vary by state/DISCOM. Assumes a gradual annual tariff rise and panel degradation. Confirm current PM Surya Ghar rates and get installer quotes before purchasing.
How PM Surya Ghar subsidy is calculated
• Up to 2 kW:
₹30,000 per kW (1 kW = ₹30,000; 2 kW = ₹60,000)• 3rd kW:
+₹18,000 (so 3 kW = ₹78,000)• 3 kW and above: capped at
₹78,000 (no extra above 3 kW; residential eligibility up to 10 kW)Net cost =
system cost − central subsidy − state top-up. Annual savings = annual units generated × tariff (capped at your usage). Payback = net cost ÷ annual savings; the free-electricity date is today plus the payback period.

Rooftop solar in Haryana
Haryana splits distribution between two utilities: Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN) in the north and Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) in the south, both operating a shared solar net-metering portal. Domestic net metering is generally available up to your sanctioned load and to 10 kW, with exported units credited against imports and trued up over the year. The state has pushed rooftop adoption hard, targeting lakhs of household installations, but portal rules and settlement terms change, so verify the latest with UHBVN or DHBVN before applying.
Tariffs and typical savings
Haryana domestic tariffs are slab-based, with lower blocks modest and higher consumption reaching roughly 6.5 to 7 per unit after the April revision. Homes with larger bills gain the most from solar, since generation offsets the priciest upper slabs first. A rooftop array in the Haryana plains produces about 4.5 units per kW per day, near 1,640 units per kW a year. Our solar savings calculator estimates a size straight from your monthly bill.
Agricultural context
Like its neighbours, Haryana heavily subsidises farm power, and free or concessional tube-well supply is part of the rural picture. For irrigation pumps, PM-KUSUM options can suit better than a home rooftop - size them in the KUSUM solar pump calculator.
How PM Surya Ghar applies
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana pays 30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW plus 18,000 for the 3rd kW, capping central support at 78,000 for 3 kW and above, with residential net metering to 10 kW. The amount is paid by DBT after your system is commissioned and inspected, and many owners fund the rest with a collateral-free loan near 7 percent - try the solar loan EMI calculator.
A worked example
Consider a 3 kW system in Gurugram. At 4.5 units per kW per day it may make around 4,900 units a year, worth close to 32,000 at about 6.5 per unit. Central support of 78,000 can bring a gross cost near 1.7 lakh down to under 1 lakh net, giving payback in roughly three to four years. These are indicative numbers - real output depends on roof orientation, shading and your consumption slab. For a grid-tied design without batteries, see the on-grid solar calculator, or compare nationally with the India solar calculator.

Frequently asked questions
No separate per-kW state capital subsidy is confirmed active for Haryana in 2025-26; residential rooftop mainly draws the central PM Surya Ghar amount of up to 78,000 for 3 kW and above. Confirm any current state scheme with UHBVN or DHBVN before applying.
UHBVN covers northern Haryana and DHBVN the south, and both use a shared solar net-metering portal. Your area decides which utility processes the connection, generally up to 10 kW for domestic loads.
Domestic tariffs are slab-based; lower blocks are modest while higher consumption reaches roughly 6.5 to 7 per unit after the April revision. Homes with larger bills gain the most from rooftop solar.
For a 3 kW system near 1.7 lakh gross, the central 78,000 subsidy can cut net cost below 1 lakh, giving payback of roughly three to four years depending on output, shading and your consumption slab.
