We’re excited to share some major news that makes rooftop solar installation much more affordable for you. With the Government of India reducing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on several key solar components, the overall cost of rooftop solar systems has come down significantly — by around 7%–10%. This means solar power is no longer a distant dream for many homeowners.
In September 2025, the Ministry of Finance cut the GST on high-value components like solar modules, cells, and inverters. Other parts, such as mounting structures, wiring, protection equipment, and junction boxes, also saw reductions. Because of this, the overall pricing on rooftop solar systems has become notably cheaper for residential consumers.
GST Cut Makes Rooftop Solar 7–10% Cheaper for Indian Homes
For households interested in rooftop solar, this tax cut translates directly into real savings:
A typical 2 kW to 3 kW system now costs around ₹108,000 to ₹125,000, down from roughly ₹120,000–₹140,000 before the GST cut.
That’s a genuine reduction of around ₹8,000 to ₹12,000 for such a system — money that stays in your pocket.
What’s more, this cost reduction helps shorten the payback period — meaning you start saving on your electricity bill much sooner than before.
Even More Benefits With Subsidies & Financing
When you combine the GST reduction with available state subsidies, the total cost can drop further. Installers estimate an additional ₹10,000 savings in some cases.
A rooftop system doesn’t just save tax — it produces real energy. For example, a 3 kW system can generate between 3,500–4,000 units of electricity per year, helping you save ₹18,000 to ₹22,000 annually on utility bills, depending on where you live. Over a 30-year lifespan, total savings can easily exceed ₹1,00,000.
And if you choose to finance your system through loans available on portals like Jan Samarth, there’s a strong chance that your monthly EMI could be close to — or even less than — your current electricity bill. That means you begin saving from day one.
Progress Under PM Surya Ghar Scheme
Our rooftop solar adoption is already accelerating. Under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, India has installed rooftop solar systems in over 2.3 million households, moving closer to the government’s goals.
Efforts like lower GST, easier financing, and subsidies are working together to make rooftop solar an affordable and attractive choice for more and more families across Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.
India’s First Intelligent Self-Cleaning Solar Technology & Advanced Hybrid Systems
We’re thrilled to share a major milestone in residential solar technology in India. Freyr Energy has introduced India’s first Intelligent Self-Cleaning Solar System along with next-generation hybrid solar solutions — designed to make solar power more efficient, reliable, and truly hassle-free for homeowners.
Why This Is a Big Deal
One of the biggest issues for rooftop solar in India has been dust buildup on panels, which can reduce energy output by up to 30% if left unchecked. Regular manual cleaning is time-consuming, risky, and uses a lot of water — especially in dusty regions.
Our Intelligent Self-Cleaning Solar System solves this by using advanced sensor-based technology and water-efficient mechanisms that automatically keep panels clean without manual effort. The result? Better performance with up to 90% less water usage compared to traditional cleaning.
What You Get From the Self-Cleaning Technology
- Automatic cleaning with sensors so panels are always at peak efficiency.
- Hassle-free solar — no climbing rooftops or scheduling cleaners.
- Significant water savings, making maintenance eco-friendly.
- Improved energy generation, especially in dusty climates.
- This innovation turns solar into a “set it and forget it” solution — giving you confidence in long-term performance and a stronger return on your investment.
Advanced Hybrid Solar Systems for Reliable Power
- Alongside the self-cleaning tech, we’ve also launched next-generation Hybrid Solar Systems that bring together on-grid solar with battery storage. What this means for you:
- Continuous power even during grid outages.
- Smart energy management that stores excess solar power for peak usage.
- Lower electricity bills and reduced dependence on utility supply.
Now your solar investment doesn’t just cut costs — it can keep your home powered when you need it most.
Freyr Energy Expands Smart Solar Solutions Across High-Growth Indian States
We’re rolling out these technologies with special emphasis on solar-high growth states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala — regions where dust issues are common and reliable power supply matters.
According to our Co-Founder and Managing Director, Saurabh Marda, this combination of smart self-cleaning solar and advanced hybrid systems is a game-changer for Indian households — offering a payback period of just 3–4 years when paired with government subsidies and strong financing support.
Making Solar Affordable
Government incentives — like central and state solar subsidies — further enhance affordability. For example:
In Uttar Pradesh, combined central and state subsidies can total up to ₹1,08,000.
Other states like Madhya Pradesh offer substantial support through schemes such as the PM Surya Ghar Yojana.
Why Thousands of Indian Homes Trust Freyr Energy for Rooftop Solar
With these incentives and our new technologies, going solar becomes easier on your wallet and your lifestyle.
- Our Growing Presence in India
- Freyr Energy is rapidly expanding across the country, with:
- Over 12,500+ rooftop installations.
- More than 120 MW of installed solar capacity.
- Operations in key cities and states, including Hyderabad, Lucknow, Pune, Kochi, and more.
We’re also strengthening solar awareness and accessibility through 10 Solar Experience Centres nationwide, where you can explore technology, system design, and financing options firsthand.
