Subsidy is an estimate worked out from the formula in the state's order. It can change once the government publishes its final guidelines, and the amount your DISCOM approves is final. Prices include panels, inverter, structure and installation, and are confirmed after a free roof check.
When and How Is the Subsidy Credited?
Both subsidies go straight into your bank account after installation. Here is the order things happen in.
- 1

Your 2.18 kW system is priced at ₹1,17,000, fully installed. SOLEV files your PM Surya Ghar application, marked for the Gujarat top-up.

Installation and net meter
The panels and inverter go up, your DISCOM fits the net meter and inspects the system, and it is commissioned on the portal.
- 3
Central subsidy: ₹63,240
Once the DISCOM approves the inspection, the central subsidy is sent to your bank account by DBT. PM Surya Ghar aims to pay within 30 days of approval.

Gujarat subsidy: ₹34,050
Paid to your bank account by DBT through your DISCOM, with GUVNL managing the funds (₹39,455 for SC/ST). The state has not yet announced how many days this takes; we will update this page as soon as it does.
What Is a 2.18 kW Solar System?
It is a rooftop system for a typical family home: four 545W panels, one inverter, the mounting structure and the wiring. The scheme's limit is 2.18 kW because four standard panels add up to exactly that.
In Gujarat's sunshine it makes about 8 to 9 units a day, roughly 262 a month: enough for lights, fans, a fridge, a TV and some air-conditioning.

2.18 kW Solar System: Common Questions
What is the 2.18 kW solar scheme in Gujarat?
+
It is an extra state subsidy from the Government of Gujarat, on top of PM Surya Ghar, for homes that install rooftop solar of up to 2.18 kW. Together the central and state subsidies give a 2.18 kW system ₹97,290, or ₹1,02,695 for SC and ST families. It applies to systems commissioned on or after 22 October 2026.
What is the price of a 2.18 kW solar system in Gujarat after subsidy?
+
A 2.18 kW system from SOLEV costs ₹1,17,000, fully installed. With ₹97,290 of subsidy, your cost after subsidy is ₹19,710. SC and ST families get ₹1,02,695 and their cost after subsidy is ₹14,305.
What is the 2 kW solar panel price in Gujarat?
+
Our 2 kW-class system is the full 2.18 kW: four 545 W panels, inverter, structure and installation for ₹1,17,000. After the central and Gujarat subsidies, your cost is ₹19,710 (₹14,305 for SC and ST families). The solar panel price is included in that figure, so there is nothing extra to buy.
Is a 2 kW solar system enough for my home?
+
A 2.18 kW system makes about 262 units a month, enough to cover a monthly bill of up to about ₹2,616. For a bigger bill it still cuts most of it, and the calculator above shows how much for your home.
How much subsidy will I get for a 2.18 kW solar system?
+
The central PM Surya Ghar subsidy is ₹63,240 and the Gujarat subsidy ₹34,050, a total of ₹97,290. SC and ST families get ₹39,455 from the state, ₹1,02,695 in all. These are estimates from the state's formula; your DISCOM confirms the final amount once the government publishes its final guidelines.
How is the subsidy calculated?
+
The government sets a benchmark cost of ₹50,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ₹45,000 per kW after that. The centre pays ₹30,000 per kW up to 2 kW and ₹18,000 per kW after, and Gujarat adds the rest, up to 90% of the benchmark (95% for SC and ST families). For 2.18 kW that comes to ₹97,290.
How much subsidy do SC and ST families get?
+
SC and ST families get a bigger state subsidy: ₹39,455 instead of ₹34,050 on a 2.18 kW system, ₹1,02,695 in all. Their cost after subsidy is ₹14,305. Keep your caste certificate ready when you apply.
When will the subsidy be credited to my bank account?
+
Both subsidies are paid by DBT after installation, the net meter and the DISCOM's inspection. PM Surya Ghar aims to pay the central subsidy within 30 days of approval. The state subsidy is paid through your DISCOM, with GUVNL managing the funds; Gujarat has not yet announced how long it takes.
How many panels are in a 2.18 kW solar system?
+
Four panels of 545 W make exactly 2.18 kW. We fit panels from leading brands such as Adani or Waaree, and the exact panel is named in your quotation. A smaller home can take two or three panels and still get both subsidies.
How many units does a 2.18 kW solar system produce?
+
In Gujarat's sunshine a 2.18 kW system makes about 8 to 9 units a day, roughly 262 units a month. The real figure depends on the roof's direction, shade and the season.
How much roof space do I need for 2.18 kW?
+
Plan for about 200 to 250 sq ft of shadow-free roof.
What if I need more than 2.18 kW?
+
Systems above 2.18 kW are not eligible for the Gujarat top-up, but still get the central PM Surya Ghar subsidy of up to ₹78,000. If your bill is large, our solar cost calculator shows what a bigger system costs.
Can I add more panels later?
+
Not for three years. Homes that take the state subsidy cannot add more rooftop solar capacity for three years from installation.
I already have a small solar system. Can I get the top-up?
+
Yes, for new capacity, as long as your old and new systems together stay within 2.18 kW.
Is there a separate application for the Gujarat subsidy?
+
No separate state portal has been announced. You apply through the PM Surya Ghar national portal, and the application is marked for the Gujarat state subsidy. SOLEV does this for you.
Until when can I apply?
+
The state top-up has no separate end date and follows PM Surya Ghar, which the national portal shows running until 31 March 2027. The state has set aside about ₹1,000 crore for the top-up.
