As energy costs continue to rise across India, more families in Lucknow are looking for reliable, sustainable, and pocket-friendly solutions to power their homes. One of the most impactful initiatives supporting this shift is the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, a government scheme designed to help households install solar at highly subsidised rates. Among the various system sizes popular under this scheme, the 3kW solar rooftop system stands out as the ideal choice for most urban homes.

At JaiKisaan Solar, Lucknow’s trusted solar installation partner, we help families switch to clean and affordable solar power with end-to-end support—from consultation and application assistance to installation and after-sales service. Here’s everything you need to know about installing a 3kW system under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.

Why a 3kW Solar Rooftop Panel Is the Perfect Fit

A 3kW solar system is the most widely preferred capacity for an average Indian household, especially in cities like Lucknow. It is powerful enough to run essential home appliances, and with batteries or net metering, it can significantly cut down or nearly eliminate monthly electricity bills.

Key Benefits of a 3kW System:

• Ideal for 2–3 BHK homes consuming 250–350 units per month
• Delivers 12–15 units of electricity per day
• Huge reduction in electricity bills, especially with net metering
• Minimal maintenance and long-term savings for 25 years
• Eligible for up to ₹78,000 subsidy under the PM Surya Ghar Yojana and up to  ₹30,000 subsidy from state government,
• Eco-friendly and sustainable, reducing carbon footprint significantly

For families in Lucknow where summer electricity consumption spikes due to fans, ACs, and coolers, a 3kW system provides a perfect balance of performance and affordability.
