Solar Loan FAQs


Yes, you can install solar panels on EMI with our Rooftop Solar Finance, which offers flexible loan repayment options tailored to your financial needs.

The cost of solar panels for rooftops varies based on capacity, brand, and installation requirements. Typically depends on the lenders, on the size and efficiency of the system.

Our solar panel loan rates start from a flat 7.99% or 12.5% reducing balance, depending on eligibility and credit profile.

Yes, there are government subsidies and financial incentives available in India to promote the adoption of solar panel systems, including those financed through loans. The primary initiative is the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, which offers subsidies on rooftop solar installations to help reduce household electricity bills. In addition to this, other financial schemes and loan options are available to make solar energy adoption more affordable for both individuals and businesses, including MSMEs. These incentives significantly lower the upfront cost, while a solar panel loan helps you finance the balance amount with easy EMIs.

Most borrowers break even on their rooftop solar investment within 8 to 12 years, though in some cases, it can be as early as 5 years. The exact payback period depends on several factors such as the initial installation cost, monthly electricity consumption, local electricity rates, and available government incentives like tax credits or net metering. With a properly sized system and EMIs that are often lower than your current electricity bills, you can start seeing noticeable savings within a few months of installation.

Yes, a solar panel loan can be prepaid either partially or fully before the end of the tenure. Most lenders offer flexible repayment options, and many do not charge prepayment penalties after a certain period. Prepaying your loan helps reduce your total interest burden and allows you to achieve financial freedom sooner. You should check the specific prepayment terms with your lending partner while applying for a loan.
