₹
₹/unit

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

₹/kW

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.

units/kW/day

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.

₹/kW

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.

How PM Surya Ghar subsidy is calculated
Central subsidy slabs (residential, as of May 2026):
• 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

Does Haryana add a state subsidy on top of PM Surya Ghar?

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.

Which DISCOM handles net metering in Haryana?

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.

What is the typical residential tariff in Haryana?

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.

How long is solar payback in Haryana?

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.

How much electricity does a 3 kW solar system generate in Haryana?

About 13 units a day or 4,889 units a year on average, from about 9.8 a day in July to 15.3 a day in March, according to PVGIS data for panels at the best fixed angle. Shading, dust and orientation change the result.
