The Gujarat government has been actively trying to combat climate change. One of the biggest initiatives is the development of the Gujarat Solar Park in India, spread over 5,384 acres of unused land in the village of Charanka. However, solar parks are only one side of the coin. The other side is the government’s active efforts in popularizing the installation of rooftop solar systems amongst homeowners by offering a subsidy.
Let’s take the example of Ahmedabad. The starting 3 kW solar panel price in Ahmedabad with installation is Rs. ~ 2,05,000*. This price reduces to Rs. ~ 1,27,000* after the government subsidy of Rs. 78,000.
*These prices are indicative as of 29th April 2025 for SolarSquare Blue 6ft variant. The final solar panel price in Gujarat 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.
In this blog, we will break down the solar rooftop price list in different cities of Gujarat for different capacity solar systems with and without a subsidy. You’ll also get a walkthrough of the subsidy process and the documents required to apply for one. Let’s get started!
Solar Rooftop Price List in Gujarat in 2025
The central government gives homeowners a subsidy when they install on-grid rooftop solar systems under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. Before we walk you through the solar panel for home price with and without a subsidy, let’s give you a clear subsidy breakdown so you can understand the price breakdown better.
Solar subsidy for residential households:
| Solar System’s Capacity | Subsidy Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana |
| 1-2 kW | Rs. 30,000 per kW |
| For Additional Capacity up to 3 kW | Rs. 18,000 This means, a 3 kW system gets a subsidy of Rs. 60,000 + Rs. 18,000 = Rs. 78,000 |
| Systems Larger than 3 kW | Rs. 78,000 |

What Are the Benefits of Solar Subsidy in Gujarat?
Gujarat is one of India’s hottest states, meaning it’s also one of the best states to install solar. The state receives almost 250-300 days of clear sunshine. When you install a rooftop solar system in Gujarat and avail a subsidy for it, you reap the following benefits:
- Solar installation at cheaper rates: Installing solar on subsidy means you get your installation up and running at rates lower than the installation prices in your city.
- True energy independence: You’re no longer relying on the grid to power your home. When you choose the right capacity rooftop solar system, the system takes care of all your energy needs.
- Safe for the environment: Installing a rooftop solar system protects the planet as every 1 kW of a solar system is equivalent to planting 15 full-grown trees.
How Much Money Can You Save From Solar?
Let’s illustrate the approximate savings from a 5 kW solar system installed in Ahmedabad.
Here are some considerations:
- The electricity tariff is presumably Rs. 9 per unit
- The electricity tariffs increase by 3-6% every year
- The annual panel degradation rate is 1%
Considering the above factors, a 5 kW solar system in Ahmedabad will save you approximately Rs. 21.8 lakh* in 25 years!
*Bear in mind that actual savings from going solar vary. Savings depend on factors including, but not limited to, your city, pollution level and weather conditions like temperature, type and efficiency of solar panels you choose, the tilt angle, how much sunshine your roof gets, whether or not shadows obscure your panels, and how well you maintain your panels throughout their lifespan.
No matter where in India you are, you can use SolarSquare’s Solar Saving Estimator to find out how much money you can save by installing a rooftop solar system at your home.
