In Guwahati, there has been a surge in demand for renewable energy, making solar energy an apparent investment for any homeowner. For residential purposes, a 3kw system of solar panels is sufficient to offset a reasonable amount of the electricity bill, simultaneously reducing carbon emissions. One can argue about the high installation costs, but government subsidies reduce at least part of those upfront costs, making the solar energy project seem more lucrative and appealing. 

Understanding a 3kW Solar Panel System

In general, a 3kW solar panel system can produce 12-15 units of electricity per day, depending on the weather. Such energy supplies are normally enough to fully cover a small-to medium-sized household’s day-to-day requirements. These are also just the upfront costs: the solar panels, inverter, mounting structure, and installation.

Benefits of Subsidies that Lower the 3kW Solar Panel Price in Guwahati

Government budgetary incentives and subsidies significantly ease the total cost. This is how homeowners can benefit:

• Central Financial Assistance (CFA): The Central Government, through the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), provides a 40% subsidy for systems up to 3kW under the Rooftop Solar Program, thereby putting down the buying and installation cost by nearly half.
• State Level Subsidy: State government subsidy uplifts Assam residential rooftop solar, with the combined amount of subsidy at both the central and state levels.
• Net Metering Benefits: Net Metering allows the banked energy to be fed into the grid, where the owner will get credits for the energy fed upon future power billing. Theses savings will continue forever and become an added profit for you.

Benefits of Solar to Homes in Guwahati

• Reduction in Utility Bills: Solar energy has the potential to significantly lower your electric bill in a short period of time (potentially over 50%).
• Environmental Benefits: Renewable energy will help eliminate or reduce greenhouse gases and reliance on fossil fuels.
• Reduced Reliance on the Grid: Solar installations will reduce reliance on the electric grid, while protecting you from rising electric costs.
• Long-Term Investment: Solar panels require little maintenance and can potentially provide up to twenty to twenty-five years of clean electricity, providing you with a substantial return on your investment.
