Typical Varanasi system costs
Pricing in Varanasi tracks Kanpur closely — around ₹58,000–₹68,000 per kW installed for tier-1 on-grid systems. Narrow-lane access and multi-storey lifting can add a modest handling cost on some sites.
After subsidy
Residential systems of 3 kW and above receive the maximum ₹78,000 under PM Surya Ghar, bringing a 3 kW plant to roughly ₹1.05–₹1.15 lakh net and a 5 kW plant to roughly ₹2.3 lakh net.
Payback
Most Varanasi households recover the net investment in three to four years, then enjoy two more decades of near-free daytime power.
