Solar Panel Price in Top Cities of India

The term photovoltaic is applied to describe the conversion of light into electricity using semiconductor materials. This last is a typical definition of photovoltaics though it would be a little bit deeper, we find that we can separate the terms into two parts. Photo which comes from the term Photons and Voltaics. On the one hand, photons are a bundle of electromagnetic energy. The very basic unit of light you can think of is the very basic unit of nature called an elementary.

On the other hand, we have the word Voltaics, making reference to the concept of electricity. This term originally came from the famous Italian physicist Alessandro Volta, a pioneer on electricity and power. He was credited as the inventor of the electrical battery.

The applications of solar panels are primarily used for three major purposes: to reduce electricity bills, to generate electricity, and as an investment opportunity. For Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities of India, solar panels are being installed on rooftops to reduce electricity bills by up to 80% through grid-connected solar systems. Whereas in Tier 3 cities, solar panels are being installed to generate electricity to get power supply 24*7 and anywhere through hybrid solar systems or stand-alone solar systems. At Loom Solar, we have installed solar panels at over 50,000 homes and businesses across India, including rural and remote areas.

Now we're going to go over a few of the most important advantages and disadvantages of this solar portable type system so you can be wrong judge of this technology by going over the advantages.

The benefits of solar panel installation are to solve frequent power cuts in rural areas, to reduce rising electricity bills of homes and businesses as well as to run flour mill & water pump motors directly on solar energy. Some of our consumers are also installing solar panels to generate extra income from their idle rooftops while also contributing to the better future of the nation for the coming generation.

The benefits of solar panels include power cuts, electricity bills, diesel costs, investment opportunities, and pollution reduction.

Many consumers want to know how solar panels work. So, we have gained in-depth knowledge about this topic. According to the ResearchGate research website, "The amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation is called solar energy. Shown in Fig. 1. It is radiant light and heat from the sun that is a natural source of energy that uses a range of ever-changing and developing technology such as solar thermal energy, solar architecture, solar heating, molten salt power plants, and artificial photosynthesis.

The technology of solar panels is changing year-on-year across the world. In the last 6 years, solar panel wattages have gone from 250W to 575W. In 2018, the maximum wattage of 24V solar panels was 250 W, but in 2024, it increased to 575 W. Generally, there are two main types of solar panels in India: Polycrystalline and Monocrystalline.

In India, there are two main types of solar panels: monofacial and bifacial.

1. Bifacial Solar Panel: It is the latest technology solar panels which generate electricity from both sides – front & back side.

2. DCR Solar Panel: The DCR solar panel is comprised of components such as solar cells, that are all made in India. On installing the solar panels, the Indian government provides a subsidy of up to 40%.  Loom Solar is an Indian-origin solar company, which introduced 520W Mono perc, 10 Bus Bar Half cut technology solar panel in India, which can generate more power from compact space. This solar panel is only installed with an on-grid solar system for which the Indian government has provided a national rooftop solar portal.

3. TOPCon Solar Panel: TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) technology is the trending solar cell technology that aims at increasing solar panel efficiency. The solar industry is witnessing rapid advancements in technology aimed towards achieving higher efficiency and better performance of solar components.

Not surprisingly, most of the electrical parameters of a PV module closely reflect those of its solar cells. However, the efficiency of a module, measured in standard conditions of bright sunlight (1000 W/m2 at 25 degrees C, AM1.5 spectrum), is slightly less than that of the constituent cells because the cells do not fill the module’s area and there are small power losses as sunlight passes through the top cover and encapsulated.

As per the current population, India has approx. 34 crore homes (total population ~ 139 crore). According to the latest information by our government, they have a plan to install solar rooftops in 1 crore homes through the subsidy scheme. They have officially announced that every solar consumer will get a Rs. 50,000 subsidy amount. It’s great news for residential consumers. But the main question is, how many homes are eligible for the subsidy scheme? According to solar professionals, 75% of homes have a 1 kW sanctioned load, and 25% of homes have a 3 kW or above sanctioned load. That means only 25% of homes (8.5 crore homes) are eligible for solar subsidy schemes.

The cost of the solar panel depends on the capacity, the technology that was used to build it, the model, the quality, manufacturer, and brand. A range of solar panel capacities is available, including 10W, 20W, 55W, 225W, 455W, 550W and 575W.

As of 2024, the price of a single solar panel in India will range from ₹25 to ₹30 per watt, including taxes, while the price of a solar panel that is 1 kW will be between Rs. 25,000 and Rs. 30,000, including GST and transportation.

An installation of home solar panels starts at ₹50,000, where you convert your existing inverter battery into one that uses solar power. A small solar system can run essential household appliances such as fans, coolers, lights, and mobile chargers, but if you plan to install a one-kilowatt solar panel, your investment will be higher. A unit costing between ₹60,000 and ₹1,00,000 can run all household appliances except air conditioners and water pumps.

There are broadly 6 features in a solar panel that are available in the Indian Markets.

1. Solar Panel Size – Smaller Solar panels will occupy less space on the rooftop. Hence, a smaller size solar panel will cost more.

Bifacial solar panels are the latest technology solar panels that generate electricity from both sides of the panel – front & back side. The solar cell construction of this solar panel is different from polycrystalline and monocrystalline solar panels. They offer many advantages over traditional solar panels. These can be framed or frameless solar panels.

Solar panels should be installed by professional installers. Any mistake in installing solar panels will lead to lesser efficiency and loss in power generation. 

The standard solar panel installation cost is between ₹8 to ₹12 per watt depending upon location, the distance between the panel and inverter, and weather the installation is off in the on-grid solar system or off-grid solar system. We have installed solar panels in over 50,000 homes across India. Here is the list of solar panel installation stories with unique applications.

The selection of solar panels is based on voltage range, which is available in 10W, 20W, 40W, 50W, 75W, 125W, and 200W with 12V solar panels, which are used to charge a single battery of 12V. But for double inverter battery (24V inverter battery), a 24V solar panel will be used. Loom Solar provides 24V Shark 445 Mono Perc, Shark 550W, Mono Per, Bifacial, Shark 550 W Solar Panel, and 520W DCR Solar Panels.

A solar panel is used for battery charging and saving electricity bills for homes and offices. A battery is a collection of cells that stores power. All lead acid batteries come in 12V and are rechargeable batteries. Now, the basic concept of battery and solar panels is 12V battery should be charged by a 24V solar panel. But there is some confusion – if we need to connect the solar panel and battery directly, then the battery will get damaged after full charge. Here, we can use a charge controller or inverter.

People prefer to install a solar system for its low maintenance and low electricity bill. Many standalone houses are now going solar as monthly electricity bills are high. For a 3-4 BHK house running a refrigerator, washing machine, 3-4 light/ bulbs, fans, iron, etc. 4 Shark solar panels (22% efficiency level) will be enough. A 2.5 kVA solar system (one inverter and two batteries) is generally enough for such houses.

Solar panels are low-maintenance products, however, it is important to clean solar panels regularly to clear off the dust particles that accumulate on them. A Cleaner solar panel might generate up to 25% more power. The cost of maintaining solar panels is near zero (0) or a few hundred rupees a year.  Most solar panels have silicon cells laminated and framed on them which ensures long life and less maintenance. Cleaning and washing solar panels are a must for longevity and retaining efficiency.

To facilitate the homeowners looking to avail of loan or EMI solutions for Solar power solutions, Loom Solar has set up a dedicated team to help streamline the entire process this summer season.

According to a statement issued here, as the festive season is all set to knock, customers also are gearing up to make their sort after purchase of various household items, utility appliances, and gifts for friends and family also things that become more pronounced are home loans, car loans, EMIs on various products etc. It’s time to celebrate and make the long-awaited purchase. The Avg. interest rate of solar loans is 8.50% to 15% for home and business rooftop solar panel installation.

India is the world’s 3rd biggest market of solar modules with 150 solar panel manufacturers in the country with 10 GW Manufacturing capacity and a Home of 35 GW Installation of solar panels. Here is the list of the Top 10 solar companies selected based on Manufacturing Capacity, Bankability, Sales Revenue, Brand Value, and Year of Service in the industry.

The majority of people are installing solar for the first time, and many of the brand names are new. There are a number of high quality and some less expensive options available, so it can be difficult to know how to compare your options.

We have reviewed thousands of solar panels over the past decade. They are the best solar panels on the market because they are made by an automated manufacturing process using high quality materials from start to finish, from the glove that binds it to the silicon cells that collect the sun's energy.

A high efficiency rate means that the panels are able to capture and convert more sunlight. A product with an efficiency rating over 22% is considered to be one of the best in the industry.

The Top Solar Panels are durable; they are capable of surviving golf ball-sized hail, hurricane force winds, and over 100 pounds of pressure per square foot. Their design allows them to continue producing near their peak regardless of the outdoor temperature. Furthermore, they will provide high levels of electricity for 25 years or longer without degradation. 

According to the latest government notification, the solar subsidy to be given by the government is 40% for rooftops of up to 3 KW capacity and 20% beyond that up to 10 KW will be credited to the account of the householder by the Discom within 30 days of the installation.

In this post, we are going to talk about how one can have a successful solar business. This is specifically for our dealers and partners and others who want to make the most of the growth rate in the solar industry. 

To install solar panels, the policy and procedure is different in every state in India for all types of solar systems be it On Grid, Off Grid, or Hybrid solar systems. The subsidies provided by the governments are different, for some states, the subsidy is provided by the state + central government, for some states, it is provided by just the state government and in some states it is provided by the central government. This is the main problem for the consumer when installing solar panels. Indian-origin company Loom Solar, a company that has been working on rooftop solar since 2018 has options for the consumer which help the consumer to select the best solar system for their homes.

Ans: A solar panel, also called a PV module or solar plate, makes electricity from sunlight. It is made up of many solar cells. When several of these PV modules are linked together in series or parallel, they form a solar panel.

Ans: Solar panels are made from many solar cells, each producing 0.5 volts and 10 amps. These cells are connected together based on the power needed and placed into a frame, which includes a junction box. To make a solar panel, about 6-7 different materials are needed. In India, two main types of solar panels are made: DCR and Non-DCR. Fully automatic factories are being set up to produce these panels.

Ans: The number of solar panels you need for your home depends on how much energy you use. For a small household, you'll need at least a 450W solar panel or a 1kW system which usually has two 24V panels. So, if your energy use is around 3kW, you would need 5 to 6 solar panels.

Ans: Super high-efficiency solar panels (rated 4 or 5 stars) are the best choice for homes because they can produce more electricity using less rooftop space. The latest and affordable solar cell technologies, like TOPCon and Mono PERC, are available all over India.

Ans: A 1 kW solar panel can make about 4-5 units of electricity per day. If it works at full power for around 300 days in a year, it will produce about 1,200 to 1,500 units of electricity each year. Using this, you can guess how much electricity your solar system will make. You can also check the expected monthly solar energy for your location with this tool: https://pvwatts.nrel.gov/.

Ans: There are different types of solar panels available in India, with efficiency ranging from 16% to 26.84%. These include Polycrystalline, Monocrystalline, and Mono PERC panels, which can be either monofacial or bifacial. After Mono PERC, panels like TOPCon and HJT types are only available in bifacial models. The choice depends on your installation area and budget.

In India, a 1kW solar panel system costs between ₹60,000 and ₹1,00,000. This price covers everything you need, like the panels, batteries, inverter, installation, and other parts. The final cost can change depending on the type of panels, how efficient they are, and how complex the installation is.

In India, solar panels come in sizes from 10W to 575W, and their prices range from ₹1,000 to ₹13,500.

A one-kilowatt solar panel is enough to run all appliances of a small house except the water motor and AC. One kilowatt solar panel generates 4-5 units of electricity per day which is used to charge the battery while simultaneously running the daily load.

Nowadays, water motors are being used in rural and urban areas which can not run during power cuts, causing a lot of trouble, so to overcome this problem, water motors can be installed with a 2kW solar system which can also run other important appliances like cooler, fan, fridge, TV, light, etc. along with the motor. 

If the power consumption of 1.5 Ton AC is around Rs 1800 or above, then it needs a solar inverter which can run the AC along with other essential household appliances.  For this, a 48V solar inverter, 48V battery (solar battery or lithium battery), 3kW - 5kW, 24V solar panel will be required.

The power consumption of two ACs is around 3600 to 4000 watts which requires a 96V (7.5kW/10kW) solar inverter along with 8 solar batteries. 10kW solar panels can be installed on this solar system as per the budget.

The load of 3 AC is around 5400-6000 watts. If it is Inverter AC then the load will increase gradually and if it is normal AC then it will increase simultaneously.

On a 5kW solar system, one 1.5 Ton inverter AC can be run and two 1 Ton ACs can be run.

If the meter of your house is of 1kW then the electricity department does not permit to run AC and if you do, then MDI (Maximum Demand Indicator) will be added to your electricity bill.

The power consumption of 1.5 Ton AC is around 1800-2000 Watt.

The cost of installing a 3kW solar panel is approximately ₹1,80,000 - ₹3,00,000 which includes the installation cost along with the solar products.

PV module life depends on several factors, including climate, module type, and the racking system used, among others. Learn more...

The Indian government has introduced a scheme for solar panel installation on roofs called PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana that provides subsidies worth up to ₹78,000. Learn more...

Typical solar panel efficiencies range from 21% to 23% for residential systems while more costly solar panel systems can be as high as 26.84% to 32%.

The price of solar panels can vary depending on several factors. These factors include the capacity of the rooftop solar system, technology of the panels, location of the installation, and any additional features or accessories. On average, the cost of a solar panel system can range from ₹35,000 to ₹60,000 for a typical residential, commercial & industrial installation.

The price of a single solar panel ranges from ₹1,000 to ₹13,500.

The price of 1kW solar panel installation ranges between Rs. 60,000 to 1,00,000 including installation depending upon the type of rooftop solar system being installed. A 3kW grid connected solar system requires an investment of Rs. 1,80,000 out of which a subsidy of Rs. 78,000 is provided to the solar consumers by the central govt. of India. Whereas, a 2kW standalone solar system, costs around Rs. 1,20,000 to 2,00,000 based upon technology and number of solar products.

Solar Panel Prices in India are updated by the Loom Solar team regularly. Solar Panel costs are revised after charging the price of any solar panels. Here, we have taken the price of a super high-efficiency PV module - Shark 550W Mono PERC, Half Cut Technology PV Module. Solar Panel Price Updated on: Sat, February 22, 2025
