2 kW solar panel price in Mumbai with subsidy
The short answer
A 2 kW rooftop solar system in Mumbai costs about ₹1,16,000 installed and ₹56,000 after the ₹60,000 PM Surya Ghar subsidy. It generates roughly 238 units a month — about ₹2,261 worth at Mumbai’s average tariff of ₹9.5/unit — and breaks even in around 2 years.
Mumbai ranks 17 of 95 Indian cities covered here on annual irradiance (5.03 kWh/m²/day) — peak sun in March to May, weakest stretch in July and August, which is the profile the 238 units/month figure above is averaged from.

The 2 kW breakdown for a Mumbai home
What it powers: a full small household: fridge, TV, washing machine, fans and lights together, with an AC run occasionally in peak summer.
Roof you need: about 180–200 sq ft of shadow-free space. Panels are mounted on a raised GI structure, so you keep usable terrace below.
Money over 25 years: beyond the 2-year break-even, the system keeps producing against tariffs that rise every year. Panels carry 25-year performance warranties; the inverter is the one mid-life replacement (around year 10–12).
Paperwork: your installer files for net metering with Adani Electricity, Tata Power, BEST after you sign; the subsidy runs through the national portal and reaches your account after commissioning — the full process.

How much roof area does 2 kW need in Mumbai?

What subsidy do I get on a 2 kW system in Mumbai?
₹60,000 under PM Surya Ghar (₹30,000/kW up to 2 kW, capped at ₹78,000 for 3 kW+). Credited to your bank account after Adani Electricity, Tata Power, BEST inspects and commissions the system.
What appliances can a 2 kW system run in Mumbai?
a full small household: fridge, TV, washing machine, fans and lights together, with an AC run occasionally in peak summer.
How long does installation take in Mumbai?
On-site work takes 1–3 days once the quote is signed. The full journey — Adani Electricity, Tata Power, BEST feasibility approval, net meter installation and subsidy payout — typically runs 4–10 weeks.
When does solar perform best and worst in Mumbai?
Mumbai follows the usual Indian pattern: the strongest sun arrives in March to May, and generation falls away through the southwest monsoon into July and August. Size on the annual average and those weeks will read as underperformance, so check the monsoon months against your own expectation before you sign. A 2 kW system is sized on an annual average of 238 units a month, so expect more than that through March to May and less during the dip.
