Is This Kit Right for You?
Suryam Lite is the right choice if:
- Your monthly electricity bill is under Rs 2,000
- You live in a 1-2 BHK apartment or small independent house
- You have 60-160 sq ft of usable roof space
- You want to start with solar at the lowest cost
It is NOT the right choice if:
- Your bill is consistently above Rs 2,500 -- a 3 kW Suryam Plus will give you better returns
- You have ACs or other heavy appliances -- you need at least 3 kW
- Your roof has significant shading -- generation will be lower than the estimate
Not sure? Use the calculator -- it recommends the right system based on your actual bill.

Customer Story
The Suryam Lite 2 kW was perfect for my parents' home. They use barely 150 units a month. After the Rs 60,000 subsidy, the system cost Rs 60,000 total. Their electricity bill is now basically zero -- just the fixed charges from JVVNL. At 78 years old, my father checks the monitoring app every morning to see his generation.
