People ask us this every week. How much does a 3kW solar system really cost in Odisha, after subsidy. Here is the direct answer. Most families end up paying between 80,000 and 1,20,000 rupees for a 3kW rooftop solar system in 2026, after government subsidy is applied. Below is exactly how that number is calculated.
What you pay before subsidy
A 3kW rooftop solar system in Odisha usually costs between 2.2 lakh and 2.6 lakh rupees before any subsidy is applied. This price depends mainly on the panel brand you choose and the type of mounting structure your roof needs.
How much subsidy you get
There are two subsidies for a 3kW system, and both come from different governments. The central government gives 78,000 rupees through the PM Surya Ghar scheme. The Odisha state government adds another 60,000 rupees on top of that. You can see the full list of active government schemes we help customers apply for. Put together, this comes to 1,38,000 rupees in total subsidy for a 3kW system.
What you actually pay
After both subsidies are applied, most families end up paying between 80,000 and 1,20,000 rupees for a 3kW system. This is roughly half of the original price. The subsidy amount is credited directly to your bank account after your DISCOM inspects and approves the installation, so you do not need to arrange it separately.
How much you save every month
A 3kW system in Odisha generates around 12 to 14 units of electricity every day on average. At current TPCODL tariff rates, this brings down a typical monthly bill by 2,500 to 3,500 rupees. For most homes, the system pays for itself in 3 to 5 years through these savings alone. After that, the electricity is essentially free for the next 20 plus years, since panels come with a 25 year performance warranty.

Should you wait or install now
The PM Surya Ghar scheme is officially set to run until 31 March 2027, or until 1 crore homes across India are covered, whichever happens first. Once either of these is reached, the central subsidy under this scheme closes.
