None can deny the benefits of using solar over the traditional electricity, given the high power costs in a country like India. Despite that, the Indian citizens are accustomed to sitting in darkness because of enormous power outs. The remotest part of rural India still does not have access to electricity. Given the above scenario, lots and lots of people are moving towards solar energy as a source of their energy requirements.
Solar panel installation either through rooftop or ground mounted structures are a way one can energize their commercial, industrial or residential properties to generate power. Many big industries and power houses sell the extra power after their captive consumption to the grid, for utilization by the community at large (Grid connected). India is a developing economy and needs to resort to cleaner, greener and also cost effective ways to move forward. The new government looks promising and also believes in the prospects of Renewable and Solar energy. We hope the country sees a revolution in this segment as well in the near future, as we now approach towards a more Developed India.
Solar cell and Panel Cost in India
In India, one can buy either locally manufactured modules or internationally imported ones from the international companies. Some of the good quality imported solar panels are from Trina Solar (TSL), Yingli Green Energy (YGE), Renesola (SOL) and Canadian Solar (CSIQ). They will cost around 40 cents per watt ie. Rs 27 per watt (wholesale prices). Globally the prices have slashed to 45 cents per watt. These costs are for multicrystalline modules as they are more prevalent in India. Monocrystalline solar panels are expensive than multicrystalline modules and are generally used for rooftop installation, which is not very popular in India. Though several programs have been initiated to create awareness about the benefits of rooftop solar in India, the country still is waiting to witness a boom. India has a target to achieve 40 GW of rooftop solar installations by 2022.

iv) Canadian Solar Panel Review
The locally manufactured solar panels will cost approximately 5% more than the prices of the international ones, otherwise their sales would be adversely affected. Consumers would always prefer the Chinese ones over India’s local manufactured panels in case the prices for Indian panels are very high.
Read some Indian manufactured Solar panel reviews and prices:
Solar cells cost around 25 cents per watt when imported from outside India. Note India has minimal solar cell manufacturing capacity of its own.
In addition the Government also provides certain subsidies and loans for commercial and residential set-ups, but these are difficult to get in India since applications take a long time for being processed.
Please also share your personal experience and inputs in buying solar cells/ panels in India.

Hello Hitesh,
In my view Trina and Tata solar panels are good brands in India. The companies are bankable and use quality material to manufacture their products. In addition to panels you would also require storage in my view, if you are at a remote location away from grid.

Hi Sneha,
I’m Dilpreet from Lucknow. From last 6months I studied thoroughly for solar energy generation with PV Modules,as I’m from engineering background. Actually I’m not able to decide that either I go for EPC contractor works or go for pv module manufacturing unit at Lucknow(say 10 MW Capacity per year) For this purpose I am waiting to attend UBM exhibition from 7th Sep. Pl guide me which path is safe and feasible in Lucknow scenario. Sometimes I think to go for distributor ship and with a setup of maintenance workshop.

Dear Santosh ji,
The panel prices vary rom supplier to supplier. There are numerous firms selling panels today. They can be bought from dealers of imported panels like Tier 1 Chinese companies like Trina, Jinko, Canadian solar etc. or you can buy from Indian suppliers like Vikram, Waaree or other suppliers in India.
Please not teh prices are very cheap at around ~35-40 cents/ watt.

Hi Faezal,

We are devoted to help you find the best energy solutions for your home or office. Solar rooftop systems begin at 100 watts and go up to 100+ kilowatts to meet the needs of a typical nuclear family of 4 members in urban/semi-urban homes or for commercial purposes, as required. Home usage of grid electricity can be balanced by installing a 1KW solar rooftop system that enables savings up to about Rs. 8,500 per year. When used in off-grid locations, solar energy can help save fuel costs by up to about Rs. 50,000 per year and provide access to clean, renewable energy.
