Solar Calculator

See what solar could save you — in under a minute

Enter your monthly electricity bill and we'll estimate your system size, investment, subsidy, and payback period. Your plan is sent straight to our WhatsApp so you can pick up the conversation instantly.

How we calculate your estimate

System sizing

We size your plant from your average monthly bill and local sunlight hours — roughly 120 units per kW installed each month.

Govt. subsidy

Residential rooftop systems up to 10 kW qualify for the central subsidy — up to ₹78,000 for 3 kW and above under current norms.

Annual savings

Assumes solar offsets around 90% of your current bill — the rest depends on your load pattern and grid export.

Payback period

Net cost (after subsidy) divided by your annual savings — most residential systems pay back in 3-5 years.

These figures are indicative. Actual system size, cost, and savings depend on your roof/land, shading, sanctioned load, and a site survey — which we offer for free.

UP mein solar subsidy — kW-wise exact amount

Uttar Pradesh mein Central Government (MNRE) aur UP State Government (UPNEDA) dono milake subsidy dete hain. Dono ka combined total seedha aapke bank account mein aata hai — DISCOM inspection ke baad.

Subsidy lene ke liye zaruri conditions

Residential / domestic electricity connection hona chahiye
Sirf ek subsidy per household / per meter connection milti hai
Pehle koi central solar subsidy nahi li honi chahiye
ALMM-approved solar modules use karne zaroori hain (MNRE list)
Vendor UPNEDA-empaneled hona chahiye (upnedasolarrooftop.gov.in)
System capacity, sanctioned load se zyada nahi honi chahiye
PM Surya Ghar portal par registration karna hoga (pmsuryaghar.gov.in)
Subsidy DBT se seedha bank account mein aata hai — DISCOM inspection ke baad

Ye subsidy sirf residential consumers ke liye hai. Commercial aur industrial systems ke liye alag incentive schemes hain — hamare se puchhein.

UPPCL Electricity Tariff

UPERC-approved tariff slabs (FY 2024-25)

UPERC (UP Electricity Regulatory Commission) ne October 2024 ke order mein rates unchanged rakhe hain. Jitna zyada aapka tariff slab, utna jaldi solar payback.

LMV-1 — Urban Domestic

Shahar mein ghar, housing society, flat — fixed charge ₹110/kW/month

0 – 150 units/month

₹5.50/unit

151 – 300 units/month

₹6.00/unit

Above 300 units/month

₹6.50/unit

+ Electricity Duty 5% on energy charges. Billing is telescopic (each slab charged separately, not on total).

LMV-1 — Rural Domestic

Gaon, kasba — fixed charge ₹90/kW/month. BPL: ₹3.00/unit (≤100 units, 1 kW load)

0 – 100 units/month

₹3.35/unit

101 – 150 units/month

₹3.85/unit

151 – 300 units/month

₹5.00/unit

Above 300 units/month

₹5.50/unit

+ Electricity Duty 5%. BPL (≤1 kW load, ≤100 units/month): ₹3.00/unit + ₹50 fixed charge.

LMV-2 — Non-Domestic / Commercial

Dukan, office, school, clinic — fixed charge approx. ₹330/kW/month

0 – 300 units/month

₹7.50/unit

Above 300 units/month

₹8.50/unit

+ ED 5% + FPPAS surcharge. At ₹7.50–₹8.50/unit, solar payback is typically 4–6 years.

LMV-6 — Small & Medium Industrial

Factory, workshop, cold storage, agro-processing — fixed charge approx. ₹290/kW/month

Energy charge (flat rate)

₹7.30 / unit

HT/EHT industrial consumers (LMV-11, HV-2) typically see effective per-unit costs of ₹8.00 – ₹11.00/unit after demand charges, ToD differential, ED, and FPPAS.

At these rates, a solar plant pays back in 3 – 5 years — with 20+ years of free generation thereafter.

Tariff rates UPERC order (Oct 2024) pe based hain. FPPAS surcharge quarterly revise hota hai. Apne actual bill ya uperc.org se verify karein. Bill telescopic hai — matlab 400 units ka matlab pure 400 units pe highest slab nahi, balki each slab separately charge hota hai.

Net-Metering in UP

Net-metering process — step by step

MVVNL aur PUVVNL dono UPERC Net Metering Regulations follow karte hain. Yahan pura process hai — aur kya-kya hum handle karte hain.

01

DISCOM ko application submit karna

Hum aapki taraf se net-metering application bhejte hain — sanctioned load details, proposed system size, aur required documents (electricity bill, property papers, ID proof) ke saath.

02

Technical feasibility check

DISCOM aapke transformer aur feeder ki capacity check karta hai. Residential systems ke liye approval usually 15–30 din mein milta hai.

03

Solar system install karna

Hum system sirf approval-in-principle milne ke baad install karte hain. Commissioning 1–5 din mein hoti hai depending on capacity.

04

Bidirectional meter lagana

DISCOM ek bidirectional net-meter lagate hain jo grid se li gayi aur solar se export ki gayi dono units track karta hai. Meter cost approx. ₹3,000–₹5,000 DISCOM ko dena hota hai.

05

Subsidy claim — PM Surya Ghar portal

Commissioning ke baad aap pmsuryaghar.gov.in pe register karke central + state subsidy claim karte hain. Subsidy DBT se seedha bank account mein aati hai — DISCOM inspection ke typically 30–60 din baad.

06

Net-metering shuru — bill credit milna

Jo units aap grid mein export karte hain, wo aapke electricity bill mein credit hoti hain. UPERC norms ke under net export quarterly ya annually settle hota hai applicable feed-in tariff pe.
