Solar System Calculator India 2026 – Calculate Your Solar Requirement & Best Inverter

Electricity bills in India continue to rise every year, making solar energy one of the smartest long-term investments for homes and businesses. However, one of the biggest questions people ask before installing solar panels is:

  • How much solar system do I need?
  • Which inverter is best for my home?
  • How much money can I save with solar?
  • What subsidy is available in India?

To simplify the process, Invergy Power Supply brings an advanced solar calculator that helps estimate:

  • Recommended solar system size
  • Best inverter type
  • Government subsidy eligibility
  • Monthly savings
  • Estimated payback period

Whether you are planning a residential rooftop solar installation or a commercial solar setup, choosing the right inverter and system size is essential for long-term performance and savings.

Solar System Calculator

Use the iNVERGY Advanced Solar Calculator below to estimate your ideal solar system requirement based on your electricity bill and backup needs.

iNVERGY Advanced Solar Calculator

Calculate your ideal solar system size, estimated savings, subsidy, and inverter recommendation.




How the Solar Calculator Works

The calculator estimates your solar requirement based on your average monthly electricity bill.

Calculation Logic Used:

  • Average electricity cost = ₹10/unit
  • Average solar generation = 135 units per month per kW

This provides a more realistic solar sizing estimate for Indian households and businesses.

Example:

If your monthly electricity bill is ₹5000:

  • Estimated monthly consumption = 500 units
  • Recommended solar size = 3.5kW–4kW

The calculator also recommends the most suitable iNVERGY inverter based on backup requirements and property type.

Which Solar Inverter is Best for Your Home?

Choosing the right inverter is equally important as selecting the correct solar panel capacity.

Invergy Power Supply offers three major solar inverter solutions:

Solar System Size Guide

Monthly Electricity Bill Estimated Units Recommended Solar System
₹2,000 200 Units 1.5kW
₹5,000 500 Units 3.5–4kW
₹8,000 800 Units 5.5–6kW
₹12,000 1200 Units 8–9kW
₹20,000+ 2000+ Units 12kW+

Government Subsidy on Solar Systems in India

Under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, residential rooftop solar systems can receive government subsidy support.

Current Subsidy Structure:

  • Up to 2kW → ₹30,000 per kW
  • 3kW and above → Up to ₹78,000 subsidy

Subsidy Eligibility:

Inverter Type Subsidy Eligibility
On-Grid Inverter Eligible
Hybrid Inverter Eligible in many cases
Off-Grid Inverter Usually not eligible

The final subsidy approval depends on:

  • DISCOM approval
  • Net metering
  • State policies
  • Rooftop eligibility

Estimated Solar Investment & Savings

The calculator also estimates:

  • Total solar system investment
  • Government subsidy
  • Final cost after subsidy
  • Monthly electricity savings
  • Payback time

Example:

A 5kW solar system may:

  • Save ₹5,000–₹7,000 per month
  • Recover investment within 4–6 years
  • Continue generating savings for 20+ years
