Solar Rooftop Price List in Gujarat With and Without Subsidy

The solar subsidy in Gujarat for homes comes from the central PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. You get ₹ 30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ₹ 18,000 for the third kW, capped at ₹ 78,000 for systems of 3 kW and above. This is the solar panel subsidy in Gujarat that applies to residential rooftops, and the scheme is approved for implementation till 31 March 2027.

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 active push to popularise rooftop solar amongst homeowners through the solar rooftop yojana in Gujarat, which is the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana subsidy. Gujarat is also the top state in the country for rooftop installations under the scheme.

Let’s take the example of Ahmedabad. The starting 3 kW solar in Ahmedabad will cost you around ~₹ 2.15 lakh* without subsidy. This price reduces to ~₹ 1.37 lakh* after the government subsidy of ₹ 78,000.

*Please Note prices are subject to change. These prices are indicative as of 01 October 2026 for the 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 cost of solar in Gujarat, who can claim it and the documents you need, the solar rooftop price list in different cities of Gujarat for different capacity solar systems with and without a subsidy, and the exact steps to apply. Let’s get started!

What Decides the Solar Panel Price in Gujarat?

• System size: A bigger system costs more in total, but the cost per kW usually drops a little as capacity goes up.
• Panel type and brand: Made-in-India DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) panels are mandatory for the subsidy. Cells must also meet ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) List-II norms for projects commissioned after 1 June 2026.
• Inverter and mounting structure: Brand, warranty, and structure height all change the quote.
• After-sales service and savings guarantee: The cheapest quote often leaves these out.
• Roof and DISCOM: roof height, shadow-free area, and DISCOM charges differ by location.

Conclusion

Installing a rooftop solar system is super affordable, with the government offering a solar subsidy to homeowners installing on-grid rooftop solar systems of up to ₹ 78,000. Banks and NBFCs (Non-Banking Financial Companies) also offer solar loans. SolarSquare takes that initiative to the next level by offering a zero-investment plan. The system’s down payment is almost equal to the subsidy amount you’re eligible to receive. After commissioning of your solar system, once the subsidy is approved, it is credited directly to your bank account, effectively bringing your upfront out-of-pocket cost close to zero.

So, there’s no reason to delay installing solar now, certainly not for affordability. In fact, since the subsidy will not be available forever (the scheme is approved till 31 March 2027), it is all the more reason to avail the benefit while it still lasts.
