Jaipur is Rajasthan's capital and its largest solar market. Across the Pink City - from independent homes in Malviya Nagar and Vaishali Nagar to showrooms on Tonk Road and industrial units in Sitapura and Bagru - electricity bills keep climbing while the sun shines almost every day of the year. That combination is exactly why rooftop solar in Jaipur pays back quickly. This 2026 guide explains what it costs, how the subsidy works, and how to choose the best solar company in Jaipur.
Why Jaipur is a strong market for solar
Jaipur enjoys abundant, consistent sunshine and long clear days for most of the year, so a well-installed 1 kW rooftop system here typically generates around 1,400-1,600 units (kWh) annually. High daytime demand - fans, air conditioning, pumps, offices and shops - lines up almost perfectly with when solar produces, so most of what you generate is used on site and directly cancels grid power at retail rates.
Because Jaipur is a large, growing city, it also has the widest mix of rooftops in the state: flat residential terraces, apartment and society roofs, commercial buildings and factory sheds. Each needs a slightly different design, which is where an experienced local installer matters.
How much does solar cost in Jaipur?
Turnkey rooftop solar in Jaipur is broadly around Rs 60,000 per kW before subsidy - so a 3 kW home system is about Rs 1,80,000 before any subsidy. This is indicative; your exact price depends on:
- Panel type - mono PERC and bifacial panels cost a little more but perform better in Jaipur's heat
- Inverter - on-grid is most affordable; hybrid adds battery-ready backup for outages
- Roof and structure - elevated mounting, long cable runs or shade work add cost
- Battery - optional, for backup during power cuts
After the PM Surya Ghar subsidy, a 3 kW home system in Jaipur usually pays for itself in about four to six years, then keeps producing near-free power for two more decades.
PM Surya Ghar subsidy for Jaipur homes
Jaipur households can claim the central PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana subsidy on residential rooftop solar - roughly Rs 30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and Rs 18,000 for the third kW, capped at about Rs 78,000 for systems of 3 kW and above. On a 3 kW system priced near Rs 1,80,000, that brings the net cost down to roughly Rs 1,02,000.
A good solar company handles the entire process for you - national portal registration, DISCOM feasibility, installation and net metering - so you receive the subsidy without chasing forms.
What system size do you need in Jaipur?
The quickest way to size a system is your monthly electricity bill. As a rough guide:
- Small home (1-2 BHK): 2-3 kW
- Larger home (3-4 BHK with AC): 4-5 kW
- Villa or small shop: 8-10 kW
- Commercial or industrial: custom-designed to the load

Net metering with JVVNL in Jaipur
In Jaipur, net metering is handled through the local DISCOM, Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (JVVNL). A net meter records the surplus units your system exports during the day and credits them against the units you draw at night, so you are billed on your net consumption. The feasibility approval and net-meter installation are part of the standard process - which a full-service installer completes for you end to end.
How to choose the best solar company in Jaipur
Jaipur has many installers, so judge them on the things that protect your investment for 25-plus years:
- Genuine, certified components with real manufacturer warranties - not the cheapest unbranded panels
- Transparent, itemised quotes so you can see exactly what you are paying for
- In-house installation and service rather than work handed to a random subcontractor
- Full subsidy and JVVNL net-metering handling so you are not left with the paperwork
- After-sales support you can actually reach when you need a service visit
GR Group of Solar brings this standard to Jaipur - genuine equipment, transparent pricing, and one accountable team from the first free survey through installation, subsidy paperwork and ongoing service.
