What can your bill tell you?

Choose a range to see what else matters before anyone suggests a system size.

01 · Your inputNo phone number needed
Monthly electricity bill

Pick the closest range.

A bill amount alone cannot produce a reliable kW, price or savings figure.

Your next useful detail: monthly units. Look for ‘units consumed’ or ‘kWh’ on your bill.

02 · What we can infer

Your selected bill range

Your range helps identify the details worth checking next. No system size is assumed.

A considered path

From electricity bill to a better decision.

Three steps. At your pace.

  1. Step 1: Understand your usage

    Start with monthly electricity units, your bill and the context of your roof.

  2. Step 2: Review your estimate

    See the starting size, generation and cost range alongside their sources and limits.

  3. Step 3: Discuss your options

    Take the estimate into your conversation. Compare proposals on the same terms.

Read the price, not just the number

Solar price is not one fixed number.

A useful quote shows the whole picture. Your roof, equipment and the work included all shape the final amount.

01

System size sets the starting point

Monthly units and usable roof space set the starting point.

Explore the calculator

  1. Equipment02

    Panel, inverter and safety component choices shape the quote.

  2. Roof & structure03

    Mounting, shade and roof condition need a site assessment.

  3. Installation04

    Ask what labour, access and commissioning work are included.

  4. Electrical work05

    Look for wiring, protection, earthing and metering in the written quotation.

  5. Subsidy context06

    Check eligibility separately from the full installed price, and plan how you will pay before any grant arrives.

Compare the same equipment and scope. Then compare the total.

Subsidy, with the context it needs

A subsidy is not an instant discount.

Understand eligibility, the source and the payment process before relying on a figure. Keep the full installation price separate.

  1. Check eligibility

    Confirm the property, connection and scheme conditions.

  2. Separate the amounts

    Understand central and state support, such as the UP top-up, on their own terms.

  3. Follow the process

    Check current application and payment steps at the official source.

Scheme sources reviewed:

Read official rates and conditions in the guide. The calculator does not determine individual subsidy or net cost.

Comparison worksheet

Compare every line

  • Equipment & models
  • Installation scope
  • Warranty & support
  • Metering responsibilities
  • Payment terms
  • Timeline & taxes

A checklist, not a live quote or a vendor rating.

Compare the details

The lowest quote is only part of the story.

Put the same checklist against each proposal; the two-quote example shows how. Equipment, scope and service terms make the comparison meaningful.

SolarKhoj does not currently assign installers or claim that every installer has been checked.

Before you begin

A few questions, answered.

A good decision starts with knowing what to ask.

Another question? Ask us
Can my electricity bill tell me what size solar system I need?

It is a useful starting point, but the bill amount alone is not enough. Monthly electricity units, roof space, usage pattern and local rules should be checked before recommending a size. The solar calculator starts from units, and the sizing guide explains why.

What changes the cost of rooftop solar?

System capacity, equipment, roof structure, electrical work and the installer's scope all affect a quote. Compare the same scope before comparing final prices, and use the indicative cost by size as a reference point.

Is a subsidy the same as an instant discount?

Do not assume that it is. Eligibility, application steps and payment process depend on the current scheme, and support is paid after commissioning. Read how the subsidy is paid and ask for a written quote that separates the system price from any subsidy.

Why doesn't the homepage show a subsidy amount?

Scheme amounts depend on system size and eligibility, so they sit on the subsidy guide with their official sources and the date they were checked, rather than in a homepage summary. In Uttar Pradesh the state adds its own top-up.

How should I compare installer quotations?

Look beyond the headline price. Check system size, component models, mounting and electrical work, metering responsibilities, warranties, timeline, taxes and after-sales support. The quotation guide shows the method, and the installer checklist keeps track of the answers.

Do I need to share my phone number to explore an estimate?

No. The homepage preview is available without sharing a phone number. You decide whether to start a conversation later.

Does this website install solar systems?

No. This is an independent information and lead-generation service designed to help you understand options before speaking to a solar professional.
