Solar Sizing Calculator

Estimate the rooftop solar system that would offset your electricity use. Enter your monthly units (from your bill) and get the recommended system size (kW), the number of panels, the roof area needed, and the estimated yearly generation. This is an indicative planning aid — a proper site assessment by an empanelled installer sets the real design.

Find this on your electricity bill (average across the year is best).

4 units

India averages ~4 units per kW per day; sunnier regions and unshaded south-facing roofs are higher.

Size to your consumption, not bigger — net-metering rules may cap export, and an oversized system wastes money. Check the PM Surya Ghar subsidy and your state net-metering terms.

Indicative only. This uses an average generation figure and simple ratios; actual output depends on your location, roof orientation, shading, panel and inverter quality, temperature and soiling. Roof area and panel count are approximate. A proper site assessment by an empanelled installer, and your DISCOM’s net-metering and subsidy terms, set the real design and payback.
