State Solar Comparison: Top-Up Subsidies and Tariffs (2026)

Two numbers decide how fast rooftop solar pays back in your state: any state top-up over the central PM Surya Ghar subsidy, and your top electricity slab. This table compares all ten states covered in these state-wise rooftop solar guides for India.

Top-up figures are confirmed against official announcements as of October 2026. "No confirmed state top-up" means no state government notification could be verified; check the state page before assuming nothing exists. Tariff slabs are indicative; confirm your exact slab on your electricity bill.

How to Use These State Guides

Start with your state's main guide, then work through the four pages that affect your money most. First, the subsidy page: confirm the central PM Surya Ghar slabs (₹30,000 for 1 kW, ₹60,000 for 2 kW, ₹78,000 for 3 kW and above) plus any state top-up. Second, the net metering page: learn how your DISCOM banks surplus units and what it pays at year-end settlement. Third, the electricity tariffs page: find your consumption slab, because solar savings come mostly from knocking out your most expensive slabs. Fourth, the vendor page: use only MNRE-empanelled installers with DCR-compliant panels, or your subsidy claim will be rejected. The solar loan calculator at 5.75% p.a. ties it all together into a monthly EMI you can compare against your current bill.

Why solar rules differ by state

While the PM Surya Ghar central subsidy (₹30,000–₹78,000) is the same nationwide, each state's DISCOM sets its own net metering settlement rules, surplus buyback rates, and application process, and some states add their own top-up subsidies. Always check your state's page above before signing with a vendor.
