How much does a solar system cost in Kanpur?

The cost of a solar system in Kanpur typically ranges from ₹50,000 to ₹60,000 per kW for residential systems before subsidy. A standard 3 kW system costs around ₹1,50,000–₹1,80,000. After the PM Surya Ghar Yojana central subsidy (up to ₹78,000) and the UP state subsidy of ₹30,000 for systems above 2 kW, your net cost can come down to as low as ₹60,000–₹72,000 for a 3 kW system.

What is PM Surya Ghar Yojana and how much subsidy will I get?

PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is the Government of India scheme to promote rooftop solar. The central subsidy is ₹30,000 per kW for systems up to 2 kW, ₹18,000 per kW for the 3rd kW (maximum ₹78,000). UP additionally offers a state subsidy of ₹30,000 for systems above 2 kW, making total subsidy up to ₹1,08,000.

What is the difference between on-grid and hybrid solar systems?

An on-grid system is connected to the electricity grid and exports excess power via net metering, but shuts down during power cuts. A hybrid system combines solar, battery backup and grid connection — it powers your home during outages. For Kanpur homes with frequent load shedding, a hybrid system is recommended.

How much roof space do I need for solar panels?

You need approximately 80–100 sq ft of shadow-free roof space per kW of solar capacity. A 3 kW system needs around 300 sq ft. The roof should ideally face south or west and be free from shading between 9 AM and 4 PM.

What is the payback period for solar in Kanpur?

After subsidy, most residential solar systems in Kanpur have a payback period of 3–4 years. Since solar panels last 25+ years, you enjoy 20+ years of virtually free electricity after recovering your investment.

Do solar panels work during cloudy days or monsoon?

Yes, solar panels generate electricity on cloudy days at 20–50% capacity. Kanpur receives excellent solar irradiance averaging 5.2 peak sun hours per day annually, making solar a strong investment despite monsoon months.

Do you provide service and maintenance after installation?

Yes, 3i Energy Solutions provides complete Solar O&M services including periodic panel cleaning, system monitoring, inverter health checks and breakdown support. We also offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) for worry-free operation across Uttar Pradesh.
