Solar Panel Price in Uttar Pradesh 2026: 2 kW, 3 kW & 5 kW Cost, Subsidy and Savings
By Rengy Team
If you live in Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Noida or another part of Uttar Pradesh, your solar decision should start with three questions: what will the system cost, what assistance might apply, and how much electricity could it generate?
What does a rooftop solar system cost?
The total quotation includes panels, inverter, mounting structure, electrical protection, wiring, labour, engineering and commissioning. These broad figures are illustrative budgeting ranges, not verified October 2026 quotations or Rengy selling prices.
| Capacity | Illustrative price before subsidy |
|---|---|
| 2 kW | ₹1.10–1.50 lakh |
| 3 kW | ₹1.50–2.10 lakh |
| 5 kW | ₹2.50–3.25 lakh |
Actual pricing varies by equipment, roof complexity, location, tax treatment and installation scope. Obtain a written site-specific quotation.
What subsidy could apply?
Eligible residential consumers may qualify for central financial assistance under PM Surya Ghar and additional assistance under Uttar Pradesh state policy, subject to the current rules. Under the original central framework, assistance was ₹30,000 for 1 kW, ₹60,000 for 2 kW and ₹78,000 for 3 kW and larger qualifying systems. Uttar Pradesh has published state assistance of ₹15,000 per kW, capped at ₹30,000, subject to eligibility. These figures must be verified against the official portals before publication or purchase; do not assume that both amounts will be approved.
How much electricity might solar generate?
| System | Broad illustrative monthly output |
|---|---|
| 2 kW | 200–300 units |
| 3 kW | 300–450 units |
| 5 kW | 500–750 units |
These are broad estimates, not guarantees. Actual output depends on sunlight, weather, shading, orientation, system losses and maintenance.
Which system should your home choose?
Review at least 6–12 months of electricity bills, including summer usage. Assess roof area, structural condition, shading, daytime consumption and expected future demand. A 3 kW system may be worth evaluating for some homes using roughly 250–400 units monthly, but a professional design is necessary.
How to estimate savings and payback
Compare expected annual solar generation and usable bill offsets against the installed net cost. A simple illustrative payback of ₹1,00,000 investment divided by ₹18,000 annual savings is about 5.6 years, excluding financing, repairs and tariff changes. Solar does not necessarily eliminate fixed charges or provide backup during outages.
How to apply and install
- Check the official PM Surya Ghar portal and your DISCOM’s current requirements.
- Review eligibility and select a registered vendor under the applicable process.
- Obtain a site survey, technical design and detailed quotation.
