A Complete Guide to Solar Energy in India by PS Solar
Electricity bills are climbing higher every month, putting pressure on both households and businesses. From small apartments in cities to large industrial setups, everyone is looking for ways to reduce monthly expenses. The smartest answer lies above us — the Sun.
Sunlight is free, abundant, and available almost every day across India. With the right solar energy system, you can capture this natural resource and turn it into clean, renewable electricity. At PS Solar Projects, we make this transition simple, reliable, and cost-effective, helping families, societies, and businesses secure their energy future.
🔎 Why Go Solar in India?
- Rising Electricity Costs
Every year, electricity tariffs rise by 6–8%, making traditional power more expensive. Installing solar locks in free power for 25+ years, protecting you from these yearly hikes. - Government Subsidies
Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the government supports homeowners with:
- ₹1,08,000 subsidy in Uttar Pradesh
- ₹78,000 subsidy in other states
In addition, over 1 crore households are eligible for 300 units of free electricity per month, making solar an attractive investment.
- Massive Savings
Rooftop solar systems can reduce monthly electricity bills by 60–70%. The money you save can be redirected toward your family, business expansion, or long-term investments. - Eco-Friendly Energy
Solar power is clean, green, and sustainable. By reducing carbon emissions, you are actively contributing to India’s fight against climate change.
📈 The Solar Boom in India
India is witnessing a rapid shift to solar. In just the first nine months of 2023, rooftop solar installations touched 3 GW capacity, a 58% growth compared to 2022. By the end of the year, India’s renewable energy capacity reached 133.88 GW, positioning the country as a global leader in solar adoption.
The growth is not just driven by rising bills, but also by government schemes and subsidies that make solar more accessible. With electricity demand increasing year after year, solar has become a long-term solution for both savings and sustainability.
⚠️ Myths & Misconceptions About Solar
Despite growing awareness, many people are still misinformed about solar:
- ❌ “Bills will disappear completely from Day 1.” In reality, savings depend on your consumption, sanctioned load, and system size.
- ❌ “Solar panels last 50 years.” Good-quality panels last 25–30 years with proper maintenance.
- ❌ “All rooftops work the same.” Ignoring shadow analysis and rooftop structure reduces performance.
- ❌ “Cheapest vendors are the best.” Poor-quality installations by unqualified vendors often fail within a few years.
👉 That’s why selecting an experienced solar partner like PS Solar is critical.

🏡 Rooftop vs Ground-Mounted Solar
Solar energy systems can be installed on rooftops or open land. Each option has its own benefits.
| Feature | Rooftop Solar | Ground-Mounted Solar |
|---|---|---|
| Space Needed | Uses unused roof space | Requires large open land |
| Government Subsidy | Eligible under PM Surya Ghar scheme | Not eligible |
| Cost | 20% cheaper | 15–20% more expensive |
| Best For | Homes, apartments, housing societies | Industries, utility-scale projects |
👉 Verdict: For most homeowners and societies, rooftop solar is the smarter choice. Ground-mounted systems are better suited for farms, factories, and large-scale plants.
💰 Cost of Solar in India
The cost of solar depends on the system size and type:
- Rooftop Solar – Subsidy-supported, making it highly affordable.
- Ground-Mounted Solar – Approx. ₹2.16–2.40 lakh for 2 kW, and ₹6.96–7.68 lakh for 10 kW (depending on land and site conditions).
While ground-mounted systems are slightly more expensive, both options deliver 25+ years of free electricity, making solar one of the best investments for Indian households and businesses.
