If you're searching for solar panel prices in Lucknow, you've come to the right place. Lucknow - with its 5–5.5 peak sun hours per day - is one of the best cities in India for rooftop solar. And with the UP government's active participation in PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, residents can now go solar for as little as ₹40,000 after subsidy.
Current Solar Panel Prices in Lucknow (2026)
Here are the latest indicative prices for on-grid rooftop solar systems in Lucknow, after applying the central government subsidy:
- 1 kW system: ₹70,000 gross → ₹40,000 after ₹30,000 subsidy

Why Solar Makes Sense in Lucknow
Lucknow experiences high electricity bills - especially in summer when ACs run all day. The city also receives excellent solar irradiance throughout the year, making rooftop solar one of the highest-ROI investments you can make as a homeowner or business.
With LESCO (Lucknow Electricity Supply Company) electricity rates at ₹6–8 per unit for residential consumers, a 3kW system generating 300–360 units per month can save you ₹2,000–3,000 every single month.
