However, the cost of going solar with a system that would power most of the domestic appliances including lights, fans, televisions and computers is beyond the reach of the average middle class household. The solar power generation system developers are quoting prices between Rs 1.6 lakh and Rs 1.8 lakh for a 1 KW (kilowatt) domestic rooftop solar power system. However, the state wants to step in with subsidies.
"We are hopeful of the prices becoming more affordable as the Centre has already promised 30% subsidy on 1 KW system and the state government is willing to chip in with another 20% subsidy. Thus, in effect, the total subsidy would be 50%," said sources in the government.
