Switching to solar is one of the smartest long-term investments for homes and businesses. But before installation, most people have one simple question: “How much will solar cost me and how much can I save every month?”
That’s where the Solar Calculator comes in. This tool helps you estimate system size, cost, monthly savings, subsidy eligibility, and return on investment based on your electricity usage and rooftop area. Whether you need a 2kW system for your home or a 50kW setup for commercial use, the Solar Rooftop Calculator gives instant, accurate projections tailored for Indian consumers.
In this guide, created by Solar Ace Energy, we break down how the Solar Calculator in India works, common examples, real pricing, subsidy details, and ROI calculations so you can make a confident decision about going solar.
With rising electricity tariffs, even a 3kW or 5kW solar plant can drastically reduce monthly bills. Using a Solar Calculator helps you plan financially and understand the long-term benefits before installation.
The Solar Rooftop Calculator uses your inputs to calculate system size and savings. Here’s how it works:
Your electricity bill determines how many units you need to replace with solar.
Each state has different solar policies and subsidy rules.
If you don’t know the area, the Solar Rooftop Calculator estimates based on bill value.

The Solar Rooftop Calculator automates this math instantly.
Let’s look at a practical scenario.
Using the Solar Rooftop Calculator:
| Parameter | Result |
|---|---|
| Recommended Capacity | 1.5 kW |
| Monthly Generation | 150–170 units |
| Cost | ₹90,000 – ₹1,20,000 |
| Subsidy | Up to ₹30,000 |
| Net Cost After Subsidy | ₹70,000 – ₹85,000 |
| Payback Period | 3.5 – 4 years |
| 25-Year Savings | ₹4.5 – ₹5.2 Lakhs |
This is exactly the type of clear projection the Solar Rooftop Calculator provides.
Below is the standard price chart used by most calculators in India:
| System Size | Avg Cost (₹) | Monthly Units | Area Needed | Subsidy Eligible? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹55,000 – ₹80,000 | 100–120 | 100 sq. ft. | Yes |
| 2 kW | ₹1.1L – ₹1.6L | 220–240 | 200 sq. ft. | Yes |
| 3 kW | ₹1.65L – ₹2.4L | 330–360 | 300 sq. ft. | Yes |
| 5 kW | ₹2.75L – ₹3.8L | 500–600 | 500 sq. ft. | Yes |
| 7.5 kW | ₹4.1L – ₹5.6L | 750–900 | 750 sq. ft. | No |
| 10 kW | ₹5.5L – ₹7.2L | 1000–1200 | 1000 sq. ft. | No |
The Solar Rooftop Calculator uses this baseline to estimate costs and units.
| System Size | Annual Savings | 5-Year ROI | 25-Year Lifetime Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹8,000 – ₹10,000 | 35–40% | ₹2.5 – ₹3 Lakhs |
