Pro Tip: Every 1 kW of solar needs 100 sq. ft. of shadow-free rooftop space. That’s why a professional roof inspection is essential. Experts analyze your roof and decide if it is in optimum condition for solar installation.  

Types of 2 kW Solar Panel Systems and Their Prices

Irrespective of their capacities, primarily, there are three types of solar systems: 

• On-grid solar systems
• Off-grid solar systems
• Hybrid solar systems

Out of these three types, an on-grid solar system is the most suitable option for homeowners residing in urban areas with a reliable grid connection because:

• You can take the benefit of a subsidy on a rooftop on-grid solar system
• There’s no hassle of maintaining batteries 

That said, let’s now take you through the 2 kV solar system price in India for all the three types:

Type of Solar System	2 kilowatt Solar System Price
2 kW on-grid solar system price in India with subsidy	Rs. ~ 90,000 to Rs. ~ 1,45,000
2 kW off-grid solar system price in India	Rs. 1,60,000
2 kW hybrid solar system price in India	Rs. 3,00,000

Please note: SolarSquare does not install off-grid or hybrid solar systems. The 2000 watt solar panel price in India listed above for these systems are standard market estimates.

2 kW Solar Panel Price With a Solar Loan 

Forget about digging into your savings because going solar is now affordable for every Indian. Banks and NBFCs back rooftop setups with loans that cover everything from panels to inverters.

With SolarSquare, it gets even easier:

• Zero Upfront Cost: Your government subsidy takes care of the down payment. You start with Rs. 0 from your pocket.
• EMIs That Match Your Savings: Monthly repayments mirror your electricity bill reduction. If your system produces more than your EMI, you owe nothing and get credits.
• Cash for Extra Power: Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, DISCOMs pay you almost Rs. 2 for every surplus unit you export to the grid. This changes discom to discom.
• Flexible Loan Tenures: Pick a repayment plan from 3 to 60 months to suit your budget and cash flow.
• Hassle-free Loan Approval: Get your loan approved within 1-2 days.

What Are the Components of a 2 Kilowatt Solar System?

Is a 2000 Watt Solar Panel System Right For Your Home? 

Did you know? Installing a 2 kilowatt solar panel system can save you approximately Rs. 23,000 in Bhopal during the 1st year of installation and around Rs. 8Lakhs over 25 years. Not from Bhopal, but do you still want to check your savings from solar? Use this free rooftop solar calculator by SolarSquare. 

Here’s a simple way to calculate what capacity of solar system you need in your home:

• Review your electricity bills from last year 
• Calculate the average number of units consumed in a year
• Divide your home’s yearly energy consumption by the number of units produced by a 1 kW solar system (1,400* units/year).

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

Suppose your yearly unit consumption is 2,700 units. A 2 kW solar system would be ideal for your home.

What Are the Benefits of a 2 Kilowatt Solar System?

Here’s why switching to solar is worth it:

• You get clean energy: Installing a 2 kW solar system is equivalent to planting 30 trees.
• You get long-term savings: Savings from solar accumulate. Even when the plant degrades at 1% annually, you’ll still save approximately Rs. 7.4 lakh* over 25 years.
• You no longer depend on the grid: Your solar system, while still connected to the grid, is your home’s primary source of electricity. You truly produce your own power.  
• Quick ROI: The cost of investment breaks even in 3-5 years. After that, the system will continue generating power for free!

*The savings from installing a solar system varies from city to city. The savings mentioned above are from a 2 kW solar system in Bhopal. You can use the rooftop solar calculator by SolarSquare to find how much money you will save by going solar in your city.

Why Choose SolarSquare’s 2.16 kW and 2.7 kW Solar Systems?

SolarSquare takes the standard 2 kW setup up a notch higher with two new offerings:

• 2.16 kW solar systems
• 2.7 kW solar systems

Both of our models are powered by next-generation 545 W MonoPERC bifacial panels for maximum output per module. 

If you install normal 330-watt solar modules, you’ll need 7 panels to make up 2 kW. 

Here’s the math:

System Capacity (2,000 watts) divided by module capacity (330 watts) = 6.06, rounded off to 7 panels.

On the contrary, with SolarSquare’s new modules of 545 watt capacity, the number of panels required has reduced:

• For 2.16 kW Systems: 2160 watts / 545 watts = 3.96, rounded off to 4 panels
• For 2.7 kW Systems: 2,700 watts / 545 watts = 4.95, rounded off to 5 panels

By using higher-wattage, half-cut bifacial modules, you slash your panel count from 7 to 4, which has the following benefits:

• Reduces roof clutter since fewer panels have to be installed 
• Reduces hardware cost and installation time
• 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 2 kW solar system for home price in India with installation has a starting range of Rs. ~ 1,75,000 to Rs. ~ 2,15,000. These prices sharply reduce further since you get a central subsidy of Rs. 60,000 for a 2 kW on-grid solar system. In Uttar Pradesh, homeowners get an additional Rs. 30,000 state subsidy, bringing the total subsidy to Rs. 90,000.

You should look at solar as an investment, not an expenditure. It’s an investment because, once the initial cost breaks even in 3-5 years, you’re practically going to save lakhs and lakhs of rupees since you won’t have to pay for electricity any longer – your solar system will take care of it.
