PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (launched 2024) gives Rs 30,000 per kW for first 2kW, Rs 18,000 per kW for next 1kW, max Rs 78,000 subsidy for 3kW system. Subsidy disbursed directly into customer Aadhaar-linked bank account post-installation and JVVNL net-metering activation. State subsidy estimate on every BoQ; print 'subject to MNRE empanelment status and PM Surya Ghar portal application'.

Yes. Rajasthan Solar Policy adds state-level incentive over and above PM Surya Ghar central subsidy: concessions on stamp duty for rooftop install agreements, accelerated depreciation for commercial install, banking-of-units against future consumption. State both central and Rajasthan-specific subsidy on every BoQ; Rajasthan-resident customers should not be quoted at all-India default subsidy alone.

Rajasthan has the highest solar irradiance in India (5.5 to 6.2 kWh per sqm per day, above Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh). A 3kW system generates 4,500 to 5,400 kWh per year in Jaipur vs 3,800 to 4,400 kWh in Mumbai or Bangalore. Payback period 3 to 5 years after PM Surya Ghar subsidy on a 3kW residential install at Rs 7 to Rs 9 per kWh JVVNL tariff.

Mandatory for PM Surya Ghar subsidy disbursement and JVVNL net-metering. State MNRE empanelment number, BIS-marked panel ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) status and JVVNL discom-vendor approval on every BoQ. Non-empanelled installers cannot deliver the subsidy promise; print empanelment certificate on every premium quote.

Per kW installed in {YEAR}: ₹36,000 to ₹75,000 in the US, £1,200-2,000 in the UK, A₹27,000-1,800 in Australia, R18,000-35,000 in South Africa, and C₹72,000-3,800 in Canada. Larger systems get cheaper per-kW due to scale; tier-1 panels and premium inverters push toward the top.

Most 3-bed homes need 5-8kW; 4-bed+ homes with pool or EV need 8-12kW. Look at your last 12 months of electricity bills, divide annual kWh by 1,300 (Australia/SA), 950 (UK/Canada), or 1,200 (US average). That gives kW capacity to offset most of your bill.

Depends on your feed-in tariff. Where FIT is high (Australia historically), batteries have 10-12 year payback; export to grid is more valuable. Where blackouts are common (South Africa) or FIT is low (UK), batteries pay back faster and add resilience. Quote both options.

A standard 5-10kW residential install is 1-2 days on the roof for a 3-person team, plus grid connection paperwork (1-6 weeks depending on utility). Larger systems and commercial installs take 3-7 days.

Site visits and verbal quotes for systems over 4kW are usually free. A detailed shading analysis, structural roof report, and load-flow calc for a 20kW+ commercial system takes 4-8 hours and may be charged ₹9,000-1,500. Worth it on large projects.
