PM Surya Ghar Subsidy for 3kW — How It Works

The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSG) is a central government scheme that provides a direct cash subsidy for residential rooftop solar installations. For a 3kW system, this subsidy is ₹78,000 — the maximum available under the scheme.

Subsidy calculation for 3kW:
  • First 2kW: ₹30,000/kW = ₹60,000
  • Third kW (2kW to 3kW): ₹18,000 flat
  • Total: ₹78,000 — deposited directly into your bank account

To be eligible for the PMSG subsidy, you must:

Sri Ishaan Solar handles every step of this process. You do not need to visit the DISCOM office or the PMSG portal yourself. Our team registers your application, coordinates the inspection, and ensures the subsidy is deposited into your account.

Return on Investment — 3kW Solar in Hyderabad

Hyderabad receives an average of 5.5 peak sun hours per day — among the highest in India. This makes a 3kW solar system an excellent investment for Hyderabad homeowners.

Average TSSPDCL tariff₹3.5–₹5.50/unit (slab-dependent)
Monthly electricity savings₹1,500–₹2,000

How much electricity does a 3kW solar system generate in Hyderabad?
In Hyderabad, a 3kW solar system generates 360–420 units (kWh) per month on average. Telangana's high solar irradiance (5.5 peak sun hours/day) makes this one of the most productive solar markets in India. Generation is highest in March–May and slightly lower during the monsoon (June–September).
What is the PM Surya Ghar subsidy for a 3kW system?
For a 3kW residential system, the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (central government) subsidy is ₹78,000 — calculated as ₹30,000/kW for the first 2kW (₹60,000) plus ₹18,000 for the third kW.

A 3kW solar system requires 6–8 solar panels. With 400W panels, you need 8 panels; with 540W high-efficiency panels, you need 6.

Sri Ishaan Solar will confirm the exact panel count after your free roof assessment.

With a net cost of ₹1.2–1.4 lakh after the PM Surya Ghar subsidy and monthly electricity savings of ₹1,500–₹2,000, the payback period is typically 5–6 years. After payback, the system provides free electricity for 20+ more years. Total lifetime savings can exceed ₹5–6 lakh.
