Five ways a solar company can quote the same system, and how to compare them fairly.

The same 3 kW system can be quoted five different ways, which makes comparing a solar company in Raipur confusing. This guide explains the pricing models, what each includes and how to compare them on equal terms.
Quick answer: convert every quote to a net cost after subsidy for the same scope. A per-kW rate or a turnkey figure means little until you know what is included.
| Model | How it works | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Per kW rate | A rate multiplied by system size | Exclusions for structure, earthing, paperwork |
| Turnkey package | One price for everything | Whether all items are named |
| Itemised quote | Each component priced | Best for comparison; check quantities |
| Loan-linked offer | Price tied to a lender's package | Interest, fees and prepayment rules |
| PPA or RESCO | No upfront cost; you pay per unit | Tariff escalation, term and buy-out |
| Item | Quote A | Quote B |
|---|---|---|
| System size | ||
| Modules and inverter named | ||
| Structure and protection | ||
| Paperwork scope | ||
| Total price | ||
| Subsidy (separate) | ||
| Net cost after subsidy |
Indicative 2026 ranges before subsidy are Rs 1.4 to 1.9 lakh for 3 kW and Rs 2.2 to 3.0 lakh for 5 kW; see the price list and services, prices and process.

| Item | Quote A (per kW) | Quote B (turnkey) |
|---|---|---|
| Headline | Rs 52,000 per kW x 3 = Rs 1.56 lakh | Rs 1.72 lakh all-inclusive |
| Includes structure and earthing? | Check | Yes |
| Includes paperwork? | No | Yes |
| Net meter fee? | Extra | Included |
| Subsidy (3 kW) | Rs 78,000 | Rs 78,000 |
| Effective net cost | Rs 78,000 plus extras | Rs 94,000 |
