Pricing depends on system size, component brand, mounting structure and roof type. Use the calculator for an indicative range, or request a free site survey.
Solar system cost in Lucknow depends on system size (kW), panel and inverter brand, mounting structure and roof type, minus any applicable PM Surya Ghar subsidy for eligible residential systems. Golden ACS quotes each project individually because pricing varies — use the calculator below for an indicative range, or request a free site survey for an exact, itemised quote.
Answer four quick questions — no phone number required to see indicative numbers.
Estimated range only. Never a promised bill. Actual savings depend on site survey, DISCOM rules, sanctioned load, tariff slab and real generation. PM Surya Ghar subsidy slabs as of August 2026 — verify current rate on pmsuryaghar.gov.in.
Larger systems cost more in total but typically have a lower cost per kW.
Component brand and technology (e.g. panel wattage, inverter type) affect price and warranty.
Roof type (RCC, tin/metal, tile) changes the structure required and its cost.
PM Surya Ghar subsidy directly reduces your net investment for eligible residential systems.
Cabling, earthing and protection equipment scale with system size and complexity.
Roof height, access and structural condition can affect installation labour.
DISCOM documentation and meter requirements vary by connection type.
Distance and site logistics can factor into the final quote.
Between the PM Surya Ghar subsidy and collateral-free solar loans from empanelled banks and NBFCs, many customers cover most or all of their upfront cost through subsidy plus EMI rather than paying the full amount at once. Golden ACS, as a UP NEDA empanelled installer and authorised Microtek dealer, can guide you through both the subsidy application and available financing options for your project.
Solar pricing, subsidy and generation — answered.
Golden ACS operates as a solar installation and EPC company, handling site assessment, system design, installation, commissioning and related support for homes, businesses and institutions. For product-only, wholesale, dealership or distribution enquiries, please contact our commercial team separately.
Pricing for a 3 kW system depends on the panel brand, inverter brand and mounting structure chosen. Use the calculator on this page for an indicative range, or request a free site survey for an exact, itemised quote.
As with any system size, exact pricing depends on the components chosen. Use the calculator on this page for an indicative range, or request a free site survey for an exact, itemised quote.
Indicatively, a 5 kW system generates roughly 600–650 units per month under typical Lucknow sun-hours, though actual output varies with shading, orientation, panel technology and season.
Typically 8–10 panels for a 5 kW system, depending on the wattage of the panel used (commonly 500–550W panels today). Your site survey will confirm the exact panel count and layout.
It depends on your system size, panel output and whether the ACs run during sunlight hours. A 3–5 kW system can typically support daytime AC use alongside other home load, but we size this exactly during your site survey based on your sanctioned load and usage pattern.
Uttar Pradesh residents get two layers of subsidy that stack together. The central government, under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, gives ₹30,000 per kW up to 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the 3rd kW, capped at ₹78,000 for 3 kW and above. On top of this, UPNEDA (the UP state renewable energy agency) adds a state subsidy of ₹15,000 per kW, capped at ₹30,000 per consumer. Combined, a 3 kW+ residential system in Lucknow can qualify for up to ₹1,08,000 in total subsidy (as of August 2026 — confirm current rates on pmsuryaghar.gov.in and upneda.org.in, as rates and eligibility can change).
You apply online at pmsuryaghar.gov.in with your electricity bill and property details, get technical feasibility approval from your DISCOM, have the system installed by an empanelled vendor, complete net metering, and the subsidy is credited directly to your bank account after commissioning. We assist with this process as part of installation.
Net metering lets you export surplus solar power to the grid and draw power back when you need it, with your DISCOM billing you only for the net units consumed. We handle the net metering application and documentation with your DISCOM.
For a typical residential system, installation itself usually takes 1–3 days once components are on-site. The full process — including survey, DISCOM approval and net metering commissioning — takes longer; we'll confirm an estimated timeline for your project during the site survey.
Solar panels are typically designed to operate for 25+ years, with gradual, small reductions in output over that period — exact performance warranty terms depend on the panel manufacturer.
On-grid systems connect directly to the electricity grid and are the most common, cost-effective option where grid power is reliable. Hybrid systems add battery backup, so you retain power during outages, at extra cost. We help you pick the right fit during your site survey.
If frequent power cuts are a problem, or you want backup for essential appliances, a hybrid system with battery storage is worth considering. If grid power is generally reliable, an on-grid system is usually more cost-effective.
Periodic panel cleaning and an annual health check are typically enough for most residential systems. Ask our team about AMC plans for ongoing coverage.
Yes, but generation drops on cloudy or heavily overcast days compared to clear sky conditions, since output depends directly on available sunlight. Systems are typically sized considering annual average generation, not just peak-sun days.
As a rough guide, budget roughly 90–100 sq.ft per kW of panels, though the exact layout depends on shading, orientation and roof shape — confirmed during your site survey.
Collateral-free solar loans are available from several empanelled banks and NBFCs under government solar financing schemes, alongside the PM Surya Ghar subsidy — together these can significantly reduce your upfront investment. Ask our team about current financing options for your project.
Commercial solar ROI depends on your electricity tariff slab, daytime consumption pattern and system cost, and is typically faster than residential ROI because commercial tariffs are higher. We provide a specific payback estimate as part of your commercial assessment.
An AMC covers ongoing upkeep after installation — typically panel cleaning, periodic inspection and performance checks — to help protect your system's generation over time. Ask our team for current AMC plan options.
