Good to know
- A 1 kW system uses two modern 540–580 W modules and needs roughly 90 sq ft of shadow-free roof.
- It qualifies for ₹30,000 central subsidy under PM Surya Ghar — the highest subsidy per kW of any size.
- Choose an inverter one size up (2 kW or 3 kW) if you already know you will expand; it avoids replacing the inverter later.
1 kW solar: questions
Is 1 kW solar enough for a home in Indore?
A 1 kW system generates about 120 units a month in Indore — enough for a home that uses 100–150 units, typically a 1BHK or 2BHK without air-conditioning. Homes with an AC or a large family usually need 3 kW or more.
Can a 1 kW system run an AC?
Not reliably. A 1.5-ton inverter AC draws 1.2–1.8 kW while running. On an on-grid system it will still work because the grid supplies the shortfall, but the solar will only offset a part of the AC's consumption.
How much solar subsidy can I get in Madhya Pradesh?
Under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, homes get ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the third kW — ₹30,000 for 1 kW, ₹60,000 for 2 kW and a maximum of ₹78,000 for 3 kW or more. Housing societies and RWAs get ₹18,000 per kW for common facilities.
Who is eligible for the PM Surya Ghar solar subsidy?
An Indian household with its own house and roof suitable for solar, a valid domestic electricity connection, and no earlier solar subsidy on that connection. The system must use DCR (domestic content) modules and be installed by a vendor registered on the national portal.
