Hyderabad, the City of Pearls, is now turning into a hub for clean and renewable energy. With electricity prices rising and the climate crisis intensifying, many residents are turning to the sun for sustainable energy. Rooftop solar panels have become one of the most effective ways to reduce power bills and promote green energy. Among the trusted names in this field, Solar6 stands out for providing affordable, high-performance rooftop solar systems designed especially for Hyderabad’s weather and energy needs.
In this article, Solar6 explores everything you need to know about rooftop solar panels in Hyderabad, from costs and subsidies to installation, savings, and the advantages of choosing Solar6.
1. Why Rooftop Solar Is Ideal for Hyderabad
1.1 Perfect Solar Conditions
Hyderabad receives more than 300 sunny days every year. This abundant sunlight makes it one of the best cities in India for generating solar power efficiently. With strong solar irradiation throughout the year, homeowners and businesses can expect consistent energy output and faster returns on investment.
1.2 Rising Electricity Prices
Electricity costs in Telangana have steadily increased, and the trend is likely to continue. Installing a rooftop solar system locks in your electricity rate for the next 20-25 years. Instead of paying more every year to your DISCOM, you generate your own electricity right at home.
1.3 Environmental Benefits
Rooftop solar systems significantly reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. For every kilowatt of solar power installed, around 1.2 tons of carbon dioxide emissions are avoided annually. By switching to solar, Hyderabad households contribute directly to a cleaner, greener future.
1.4 Government Push for Renewable Energy
Both the central and state governments actively promote rooftop solar adoption through incentives, net-metering, and easy financing schemes. These programs make solar installations more affordable for residential and commercial users alike.
2. Government Subsidies and Support
One of the biggest motivations to go solar is the government subsidy available under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana.
- Subsidy for residential rooftop solar: Up to ₹78,000 for systems of 3 kW capacity.
- For systems up to 2 kW: About 60% of the benchmark cost is covered by the subsidy.
- For 2-3 kW systems: 60% for the first 2 kW and 40% for the next 1 kW.
This subsidy drastically reduces the upfront investment required to install solar panels at home. For example, if a 3 kW system costs ₹1.8 lakh, the homeowner may only need to pay ₹1 lakh or even less after the subsidy.
Telangana’s Support for Rooftop Solar
The state offers net-metering facilities, which allow users to feed extra electricity generated by their panels back into the grid. This reduces power bills even further because you earn credits for every surplus unit exported.
Together, these benefits make Hyderabad one of the best cities in India to invest in rooftop solar energy.

4. Choosing the Right Solar System
When installing rooftop solar panels, selecting the correct capacity and equipment is essential.
4.1 Determine Energy Needs
Check your monthly electricity usage. For example, a family using 400–600 units per month typically needs a 3 kW solar system to offset most of their consumption.
4.2 Evaluate Rooftop Space
Each kilowatt requires roughly 100 sq ft of shadow-free rooftop space. The roof should be strong, open, and oriented toward the south for maximum sunlight.
4.3 Select the Right Panel Type
- Monocrystalline Panels: High efficiency, ideal for limited space.
- Polycrystalline Panels: Slightly cheaper, good performance in bright sunlight.
4.4 Inverters & Mounting Structures
A reliable inverter converts DC electricity from panels into AC power for your home. Solar6 uses advanced inverters with smart monitoring to ensure consistent performance. The mounting structures are rust-resistant and weatherproof to last for decades.
