Indicative only. A free site survey gives you a firm price — roof orientation, shading and your actual tariff slab all move these numbers.

Any calculator can produce a flattering figure by hiding its assumptions. Here are ours, so you can check them against another quote.
| Assumption | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Generation | 4.2 units per kW per day | Our measured Kannur annual average, monsoon included |
| Roof area | 80 sq ft per kW | Typical spacing for 550 W modules with walkways |
| System cost | ₹62k/kW under 2 kW, falling to ₹43k/kW above 50 kW | Smaller systems carry the same fixed costs over fewer kilowatts |
| Tariff | ₹5.60 to ₹8.20 by slab; ₹8.50 commercial | KSEB domestic slabs — the more you use, the more each unit saves |
| Subsidy | ₹30,000/kW for the first 2 kW, ₹18,000 for the third, ₹78,000 cap | PM Surya Ghar, residential grid-connected only |
| Maximum bill offset | 95% | Fixed charges and meter rent survive any array |
| Degradation | 0.92 average output factor over 25 years | Panels lose roughly 0.5% of output a year |
| Grid carbon | 0.71 kg CO₂ per unit | Indian grid average emission factor |
A calculator cannot see your roof.
Forty minutes on site turns these estimates into a fixed price. It costs nothing.
