Solar & Battery Costs in Delhi, India System Prices & Installers

ℹ️ Get quick estimates for solar and battery sizing, costs, and savings in Delhi using these simplified calculators. For more accurate, advanced calculations, use the full Photonik design platform.

Solar Design Delhi


Energy Usage

How much energy your Delhi home uses daily directly impacts the solar system size you'll need. Whilst typical Delhi households consume 15 kWh daily, homes with good insulation and modern appliances often use far less energy.

Reducing your energy consumption before installing solar can lower your system size requirements and improve returns. Consider upgrading insulation and switching to energy efficient appliances first.

Typical energy usage per person per day in Delhi:

Low (Efficient)
~3 kWh
Medium (average)
~4 kWh
High (intensive)
~6+ kWh

Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.

Solar System Sizing

You'll need around 3.9kW of solar to match your average consumption. Sizing your system between 5.9kW and 7.9kW accounts for daily and seasonal variations in solar generation.

A 6.6 kW system in Delhi generates approximately 29.1 kWh daily on average, with seasonal variation from 3.68 kWh/kW/day in December to 4.86 kWh/kW/day in April.

1 kW 20 kW

lightbulb We recommend 6.5 - 8.7kW, generating 50 - 100% more than you use.

A 6.6 kW system in Delhi can generate approximately 0 kWh annually based on local sun conditions.

Solar & Energy Savings


Calculate Heat Pump & EV Savings

Electrify your home by replacing gas heating, petrol vehicles, and other fossil fuel appliances with electric alternatives powered by clean solar energy. This delivers significant additional financial savings and substantial carbon emission reductions. Our calculator helps you compare costs and model the financial impact of switching to electric appliances and vehicles.

How Solar Reduces Your Electricity Bills

The calculations below show how your electricity bills change with solar. Your Old Bill of - per month (- annually) is calculated from your total energy consumption multiplied by the grid electricity rate. Your New Bill of - per month (- annually) accounts for solar generation, the percentage you use directly (self-consumption), remaining grid consumption, and feed-in credits for excess energy exported to the grid. This results in monthly savings of - (- annually).

Battery Storage Delhi


Solar Battery Sizing

With solar-only (no battery), a 6.6 kW system provides approximately 50% self-usage in Delhi, depending on your consumption patterns, drawing 50% from the grid. With a 10 kWh battery added, energy independence increases to approximately 99% per year, whilst grid dependency falls to 1%.

Solar & Battery System Cost Delhi


Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs

A 6.6 kW solar system in Delhi is priced at approximately ₹493,284, whilst adding 10 kWh of battery storage increases the total investment to around ₹994,849. Solar systems typically achieve payback in around 8.6 years, whilst adding battery storage extends the payback period but provides greater energy independence.

The cost breakdown shows estimates for equipment costs, installation labour, and applicable taxes. Adjust system size and battery storage to see how it affects total investment and payback periods.
