Energy Usage

Residential energy usage in Rajasthan typically ranges from 15-30 kWh daily, with 8 kWh being common for a standard household. Most households in Rajasthan use around 8 kWh per day, whilst energy efficient homes can reduce this to roughly half.

Your actual usage may differ from the 8 kWh/day average for Rajasthan — checking your electricity bills or smart meter data gives a more accurate starting point for solar sizing.

Typical energy usage per person per day in Rajasthan:

Low (Efficient)
~4 kWh
Medium (average)
~6 kWh
High (intensive)
~10+ kWh

Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.

Solar System Sizing

A 2.1kW system covers average consumption, but sizing slightly larger can help offset seasonal dips and future increases in usage from EVs or heat pumps. Optimal sizing ranges from 3.2kW to 4.2kW to accommodate daily and seasonal generation variations.

Expect around 14.2 kWh daily from a 3.2 kW system in Rajasthan, with production varying from 3.75 kWh/kW/day in December to 4.87 kWh/kW/day in April.

Solar & Energy Savings


Calculate Heat Pump & EV Savings

Electrify your home by replacing gas heating, petrol vehicles, and other fossil fuel appliances with electric alternatives powered by clean solar energy. This delivers significant additional financial savings and substantial carbon emission reductions. Our calculator helps you compare costs and model the financial impact of switching to electric appliances and vehicles.

How Solar Reduces Your Electricity Bills

The calculations below show how your electricity bills change with solar. Your Old Bill of - per month (- annually) is calculated from your total energy consumption multiplied by the grid electricity rate. Your New Bill of - per month (- annually) accounts for solar generation, the percentage you use directly (self-consumption), remaining grid consumption, and feed-in credits for excess energy exported to the grid. This results in monthly savings of - (- annually).

Battery Storage Rajasthan


Solar Battery Sizing

Even without a battery, 50% self-sufficiency from a 3.2 kW system in Rajasthan means a significant reduction in your electricity bills. Beyond the bill savings, a 10 kWh battery at 99% self-sufficiency also provides backup power during outages — an increasingly valued feature for homeowners.

The gap between December and April production affects how much work your battery does season to season — the full Photonik tool models this for your specific situation.

0 kWh 30 kWh

lightbulb A 0kWh battery will make you about 0% self sufficient.

The sweet spot for most households is 5 – 13 kWh — larger batteries add independence but with diminishing payback, especially where feed-in tariffs are low.

Solar & Battery System Cost Rajasthan


Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs

Solar prices in Rajasthan have come down significantly in recent years — a 3.2 kW system now costs around ₹273,528, making the economics more attractive than ever. Solar installations typically pay for themselves within around 11.5 years, whilst batteries extend payback but deliver significantly higher energy independence.

Cost estimates cover equipment, installation labour, and applicable taxes. Modify the system size and battery storage sliders to explore different investment levels and payback periods.
