At Bhoodarsh Saurshakti, we strive to allow families and businesses in North 24 Paraganas to adopt clean energy through a rooftop solar system. The recent spike in rooftop solar installations in North 24 Parganas can be attributed to targeted government subsidies, net-metering schemes and incentives. Below, we will walk through some of the key points and takeaways to help you understand how you can benefit, especially when looking at and considering the price of 3 kW solar panels in Kolkata, and how that will look after incentives.

Compensatory Policy & Net Metering

• The central and West Bengal state government issues subsidies up to ₹78,000 for eligible rooftop solar systems. This is typically a bit higher than ₹78,000, but a number of variables play a role in that price.
• Net metering is available for on-grid rooftop solar systems. This will allow you to export any surplus electricity back to the grid and provide credits offset against your next electricity bill, which in many cases lowers your effective pay-back period. 
• Rooftop solar systems installed by a vetted installer such as Bhoodarsh Saurshakti in North 24 Parganas provide end-to-end support for its customers—everything from roof survey/inspection, subsidy completion/fill-out, installation, commissioning, and also providing any after-service families’ maintenance or support needed.  

Understanding Pricing – Focused on 3 kWs

• A typical 3 kW rooftop solar system in the Kolkata area (including North 24 Parganas) costs roughly ₹1.8-2.1 lakhs (pre-subsidy), which includes the solar panels, inverter, structure and installation.
• After the subsidy (which can be approximately 40% in some instances), the overall investment for a solar 3 kW system could be considerably lower, around ₹1.2 lakhs under ideal conditions. 
• In North 24 Parganas, the household daily consumption (12-15 kWh) to sustain a solar 3 kW generation capacity makes it possible for the home to observe a reduced electricity bill, along with an ROI in many cases within 4-6 years. 

Why North 24 Parganas would be a smart district to install

• Our service area from Bhoodarsh  Saurshakti includes North 24 Parganas, and so far, over 5,000 happy customers have taken the step to install rooftop solar. 
• The local climate offers conditions for solar generation, and when combined with good mounting structures and the high-efficiency panels we offer, our solar generation is suitable even under partly cloudy conditions.
• When choosing certified installers, solar owners find that the subsidy application process, net metering approval and useful solar maintenance are totally stress-free.

Key Steps to Access Subsidies

• Confirm Eligibility: To be eligible for the subsidies under the scheme, your system and your electricity connection must fulfil the requirements.
• Select a Good Installer: Protect yourself from the hassle of the whole procedure – site visit, inspection, installation, documentation, subsidy application and net-metering connection by choosing a good installer who initiates and manages the whole process for you.
• Evaluate your roof: These include the direction your roof faces, shade on your roof, mounting points, and ‘load’ requirement.
• Review the quote for 3 kW or larger systems, check how much of a subsidy falls under the 3 kW and work out your pay-back period.
• After installation, monitor your energy generation carefully and check your net-metering input is set up to maximise the benefit wherever possible.
