10kW Solar Panel Price in India With Subsidy

A 10 kW solar system is capable of generating approximately 14,000-14500 units of electricity every year. In fact, it’s so powerful that it can easily power 4-5 BHK homes, offices, and small commercial shops. Does that mean it’s bone-breakingly expensive? Not really! 

The starting price of a 10 kW solar panel in Delhi with installation is Rs. ~ 5,90,000. If you come a little south, the starting 10 kW solar system price with installation in Bengaluru is Rs. ~ 6,40,000. If you compare this one-time investment (which gets breakeven in 3-5 years) with the electricity tariffs that increase by 3-10% every year, you’ll be saving Rs 35-70 Lakhs throughout the system’s 25-year lifespan depending on region to region (more on savings from solar a little later). 

*These prices are indicative as of 29th April 2025 for SolarSquare Blue 6ft variant. The final 10 kW solar system price in India depends on your city, DISCOM charges, product variant opted for, panel type, inverter type, mounting structure height, type of after-sales service, savings guarantee, roof height, etc.

Things get even better as the Indian government offers a subsidy of Rs. 78,000 for the installation of a 10 kW on-grid rooftop solar system to homeowners under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. And for those who might still be reluctant to pay upfront, there’s always an option to purchase a 10 kW solar panel system with a solar loan. 

Let’s thread all the details of the 10 kW solar panel price in different Indian cities and explore whether 10 kW solar is the right capacity for your home. 

What’s the 10 kW Solar Panel Price in India With And Without a Subsidy?

Did you know? While most Indian states get a subsidy of Rs. 78,000 under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana for installing a 10 kW solar system, the UP government takes things a notch higher by offering a state subsidy of Rs. 30,000 more. So, UP homeowners enjoy a whopping relaxation of Rs. 1,08,000 on a 10 kW on-grid rooftop solar system.

The table below breaks down the 10 kW solar plant price in different Indian states.

*Please Note: These prices are indicative as of 29th April 2025 for SolarSquare Blue 6ft variant. The final 10 kW solar panel price in India depends on your city, DISCOM charges, product variant opted for, panel type, inverter type, mounting structure height, type of after-sales service, savings guarantee, roof height, etc.

Types of 10 kW Solar Systems and Their Prices

There are three most popular kinds of solar systems:

• On-grid solar system: It is a grid-tied photovoltaic installation without battery storage. Find out more about the working and benefits of an on-grid solar system.
• Off-grid solar system: It’s a standalone photovoltaic installation that operates independently of the utility grid by storing energy in batteries. Find out more about the workings of an off-grid solar system.
• Hybrid solar system: This system offers the best of both worlds, combining grid connection with battery storage. Find out more details about how a hybrid solar system works. 

Moving on, let’s now explore the 10 kW solar plant cost for all the three types:

Type of Solar System	5 kW Solar Price in India
On-grid 10 kW solar system price in India after subsidy	Rs. ~ 4,72,000 to Rs. ~ 5,62,000
10 kW off-grid solar system price in India	Rs. 6,05,000 onwards
10 kW hybrid solar system price in India	Rs. 14,22,000 onwards

Please note: SolarSquare does not install off-grid or hybrid solar systems. The 10 kW solar plant prices listed for these types are standard market estimates. 

10 kW Solar Panel Price With a Solar Loan

Solar is no longer in its primitive state from 10 years ago that made it unaffordable. There are many financing options available these days. Both banks and NBFCs (non-banking financial companies) offer solar loans. 

However, SolarSquare’s Zero-investment Plan makes going solar genuinely cost-free at the start. Here are some of our offerings:

• Zero Upfront Investment: Your entire down payment is covered by the government subsidy. So, your out-of-pocket expense is literally Rs. 0.
• Savings-Aligned EMIs: Monthly loan installments match your electricity bill savings. If generation exceeds your consumption, you pay nothing and earn surplus credits.
• Earnings on Surplus Power: Through the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, DISCOMs reward you approximately Rs. 2 for every extra unit sent back to the grid. This rate does depend on discom to discom.
• Customizable Tenures: Select a repayment term between 3 and 60 months to fit your budget and cash-flow needs.
• Swift Loan Sanction: Financing approval arrives within 1-2 days, so your system can go live without delay.

Is 10 kW Solar System the Right Capacity For Your Home?

The calculation is pretty straightforward. All you need is your electricity bills from the last 12 months:

• Add the kWh values for each month into a single figure to quantify your annual consumption.
• Divide the total yearly kWh by 1,400* kWh, which represents the average annual yield per 1 kW of solar.
• The resulting kW value is the system size needed to cover all your electricity demand for the year.

*On average, a 1 kW solar system produces 1,400-1,450 units per year.

A system of this mammoth capacity can power the following appliances easily:

• 6-7 ceiling fans
• 6-7 LED bulbs
• 3-4 tube lights
• 3-4 air conditioners (1.5 tons each) or 1 air conditioner alongside other heavy appliances 
• Refrigerator

How Much Money Can a 10 kW Solar System Save?

We’ve listed the 10 kW solar panel price across Indian states, both with and without subsidies. Naturally, you might now wonder whether investing in solar is worthwhile.

We’ll let the numbers do the talking here.

Let’s take the example of savings from a 10 kW solar system in Bhopal. Here are a few considerations:

• The tariff assumed is Rs. 9.19 per unit
• The electricity tariffs rise each year by 3-6%
• A solar system degrades by 1% every year

Taking all the factors listed above into consideration, installing a 10 kW solar system will save you approximately Rs. 41.9 lakhs over 25 years. And the starting 10 kW solar panel price in Bhopal with a subsidy is Rs. ~ 5,02,000. Would you rather pay Rs. 5,02,000 today and save Rs. 41.9 lakhs over your system’s lifespan, or continue spending tens of lakhs of rupees in paying electricity bills? The choice is yours!

Why Choose SolarSquare’s 10.26 kW and 10.8 kW Solar Systems?

Unlike typical 10 kW systems, SolarSquare offers 10.26 kW and 10.8 kW options using our advanced 545-watt MonoPERC bifacial modules, which deliver higher capacity per panel. 

A standard 10 kW system would require 18.5 panels, but since partial panels aren’t practical, we provide 10.26 kW and 10.8 kW systems with 19 and 20 panels, ensuring efficiency and easy installation.

Let’s compare the number of panels that would be needed if you choose a standard 330-watt panel vs SolarSquare’s 545-watt panels:

• System Capacity (10,000 watts) divided by Module Capacity (330 watts) = 30.3, rounded off to 31 panels.
• System Capacity (10,260 watts) divided by Module Capacity (545 watts) = 18.6, rounded off to 19 panels.
• System Capacity (10,800 watts) divided by Module Capacity (545 watts) = 19.8, rounded off to 20 panels.

Choosing SolarSquare’s 10.26 kW and 10.8 kW solar systems instead of a 10 kW system with 330-watt modules is beneficial because: 

• Fewer panels produce the desired output, consuming less space on your roof 
• Hardware cost is lesser
• Installation time is reduced
• SolarSquare offers a minimum 45 maintenance visits over 5 years for deep cleaning and preventive checks
• We also offer a Rs. 1 lakh leakage-free guarantee for 1 year

Conclusion

A 10 kW solar panel price, which starts from the range of Rs. ~ 5,70,000 to Rs. ~ 6,40,000 with installation, might seem a tad high at the first glance. However, the government offers a subsidy of Rs. 78,000, which reduces the initial investment. Plus, homeowners can also avail a solar loan. 

Moreover, when you compare the initial investment with savings of tens of lakhs of rupees, you’d realize that installing an on-grid rooftop solar system is absolutely worth your money. So, ready to never pay for electricity again? Book a free solar consultation with SolarSquare now. Let us handle the nitty-gritty of going solar while you settle back to enjoy free electricity for the next 25 years of your life.
