3 kW solar system price in India — gross quote vs net after ₹78,000 CFA

Sealix does not sell panels. We publish indicative market bands so you can spot a bad quote — then run your bill through the free check before you book an installer.

Indicative bands

What homeowners typically see in 2026

City, structure height, cable run, and brand move quotes. Treat this as a map, not a Sealix invoice.

StageTypical band (on-grid residential)Notes
Gross turnkey quote≈ ₹1.6–2.4 lakhPanels + inverter + structure + labour; GST as billed
Central CFA (eligible)Up to ₹78,000PM Surya Ghar DBT after commissioning — not a shop cash discount
Indicative net≈ ₹80,000–1.6 lakhGross − CFA; state top-ups (if any) are extra and change often

Hybrid / battery quotes are a different product and often far higher. Off-grid plants usually miss residential CFA. Confirm live CFA on pmsuryaghar.gov.in.

What a “cheap” 3 kW quote often hides

Why 3 kW is the CFA sweet spot

Central residential CFA commonly tops out at ₹78,000 for eligible 3 kW+. Going to 5 kW usually adds capacity without extra central CFA — see 5 kW price and 3 kW vs 5 kW.

Bill fit beats brochure price

A low gross quote on a ₹800/month bill is still a bad investment. A mid quote on a ₹3,000 slab bill can clear payback faster. Use the free home check and bill guides: ₹1,500 · ₹3,000.
