"How much solar subsidy do I get in Raipur?" has a short answer and a careful one. The short answer is up to Rs 78,000 from the centre for a 3 kW home system. The careful answer covers the state top-up, the cap, society schemes and what is not subsidised. This guide sets out solar subsidy in Raipur for 2026 in tables you can use directly.

Quick answer: Rs 30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and Rs 18,000 for the third kW from the centre, capped at Rs 78,000, plus the state top-up where it applies. Commercial users do not get the residential subsidy.

Central Subsidy by Size

SizeCentral subsidyWhat the subsidy covers
1 kWRs 30,000About 45 to 50 per cent of a 1 kW system
2 kWRs 60,000About 45 to 50 per cent of a 2 kW system
3 kWRs 78,000About 41 to 47 per cent of a 3 kW system
5 kWRs 78,000About 26 to 30 per cent
10 kWRs 78,000About 13 to 16 per cent

State Top-Up, As Reported

The state cabinet approved an additional domestic subsidy in 2025. As reported, it is Rs 15,000 for 1 kW and up to Rs 30,000 for 3 kW and above, disbursed through CSPDCL. Sources quote different slabs for 2 kW, so confirm the current order before you rely on a number. See central vs state subsidy.

Net Cost After Subsidy

SizePrice (indicative)After centralAfter central plus state
1 kWRs 60,000 - 70,000Rs 30,000 - 40,000Rs 15,000 - 25,000
3 kWRs 1.65 - 1.90 lakhRs 87,000 - 1.12 lakhRs 57,000 - 82,000
5 kWRs 2.6 - 3.0 lakhRs 1.82 - 2.22 lakhRs 1.52 - 1.92 lakh

Housing Societies

Group housing societies and RWAs can claim Rs 18,000 per kW for common facilities, including EV charging, up to 500 kW, with capacity counted at 3 kW per house. See solar subsidy for flats and apartments.

What Is Not Subsidised

  • Capacity above 3 kW for individual homes.
  • Batteries and hybrid storage, unless the scheme is extended; confirm with your vendor.
  • Commercial and industrial plants.
  • Costs such as load enhancement fees.

When the Money Arrives

  1. You pay the installer by milestones.
  2. After commissioning and inspection, the central subsidy is credited to your account.
  3. The state top-up, where applicable, follows through CSPDCL.

If the gap is a problem, see solar loan and EMI.

Two Worked Examples

A small home: a pensioner couple using 150 units a month installs 2 kW for about Rs 1.3 lakh, receives Rs 60,000 and pays about Rs 70,000 net. A larger home: a family using 600 units installs 5 kW for about Rs 2.8 lakh, receives Rs 78,000 and pays about Rs 2.0 lakh net, with the extra 2 kW paying back through bill savings.

Why the Subsidy Is Not the Whole Story

Subsidy lowers cost, but the bigger benefit is the bill saving that follows for 25 years. A 3 kW system in Raipur saves roughly Rs 29,000 to 36,000 a year. Over ten years that is Rs 2.9 to 3.6 lakh, several times the subsidy. Treat the subsidy as the bonus that shortens payback, and judge the system on its total return.

Checklist to Protect Your Subsidy

  1. Choose a vendor from the portal's registered list for your district.
  2. Ask for module compliance documents in writing.
  3. Match names on Aadhaar, bill and bank account.
  4. Clear any dues on the connection.
  5. Check sanctioned load against capacity.
  6. Keep the commissioning report and photographs.

Questions About Subsidy to Ask an Installer

  • Which subsidy amounts are you including, and what is the source?
  • What happens if the state top-up is different when I apply?
  • Who handles the portal steps and follow-up?
  • Is the quoted price before or after subsidy?

A good installer shows the price before subsidy, the subsidy you will receive and the net cost, in separate lines.

Next Steps

Know your cap, check the state slab and keep the paperwork clean. If you are choosing a provider, start with a solar company in Raipur that is registered for the scheme, and compare it using the best solar company in Raipur questions.
