Bill band guide
A ₹3,000 monthly bill usually means solar economics work on paper — the real question is 3 kW vs 5 kW, CFA capture, and whether your roof and DISCOM process match the brochure timeline.
At ~₹3,000/month, most Indian domestic homes sit in a sweet spot for grid-tied rooftop solar — high enough slab exposure, enough units to absorb a 3 kW plant, and often eligible for the full PM Surya Ghar CFA ceiling.

At typical domestic slab tariffs (varies by state), ₹3,000/month often implies:
Rough guide only — your DISCOM slab and consumption pattern override any rule of thumb:
See 3 kW vs 5 kW before upsizing — many ₹3,000/month homes do not need 5 kW to capture maximum subsidy.
Central residential CFA is commonly ₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / up to ₹78,000 for eligible 1–3 kW+ systems, claimed via pmsuryaghar.gov.in after DISCOM process and commissioning. At ~₹3,000/month, a 3 kW plant is usually the CFA-optimal size. Full walkthrough: PM Surya Ghar guide.
With full CFA and good sun exposure, payback often lands in the 4–6 year range — faster in high-slab states, slower in low-tariff or haze-affected cities. Monsoon, shade, and society NOC delays are not in the installer’s “3-year payback” slide — plan from annual bill units.
If your bill is closer to ₹1,500/month, economics differ — see ₹1,500/month bill guide.
