Indicative turnkey pricing
As a working figure, quality on-grid rooftop systems in Kanpur land around ₹58,000–₹68,000 per kW installed, inclusive of modules, inverter, galvanised structure, cabling, earthing, installation and net-metering liaison.
A 3 kW system therefore sits near ₹1.8 lakh gross, roughly ₹1.08 lakh after the ₹78,000 subsidy. A 5 kW system is near ₹3.1 lakh gross and about ₹2.32 lakh net.
What makes prices differ
Module technology (TOPCon vs older PERC), inverter brand, structure height and steel grade, cable runs, and whether the quote includes net metering and subsidy filing. Very cheap quotes usually cut the structure and cabling first — the two items you can least afford to fail.
Financing it
With a 5-year loan at around 9%, a 3 kW net cost translates to an EMI close to ₹2,200 a month while typically saving ₹2,800–₹3,200 in electricity — cash-flow positive from month one.
