Fast triage: Eligible homes get ₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000 for 1 / 2 / 3 kW+. No verified general state top-up for ordinary applications in 2026. Monsoon + shade still decide yield — is solar worth it? before you size.

Installer blogs still recycle closed Karnataka rooftop incentives. For a new 2026 residential application, Sealix models central CFA only unless your live portal file and a current government notice show an additional amount. Compare states that do publish clear top-ups: Maharashtra SMART · Tamil Nadu 2026 · state top-up map.
June–September cloud cover trims annual generation versus dry-season peaks. High-rise shade in Bengaluru adds site loss. Size from twelve months of units, not a February brochure. Mid bills often land near 3 kW to capture the CFA ceiling — 3 vs 5 kW.
Central CFA ₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000 for 1 / 2 / 3 kW+. No verified general state top-up for ordinary homes — confirm on your own portal file.
No. CFA is DBT after commissioning. You fund the gross quote first.
The company on your bill — BESCOM, HESCOM, MESCOM, CESC, or GESCOM.
