How much is a 5kW hybrid system with a battery backup really costing?
Your last expenditure should be Rs 7.2-8.5 lakh for a 5kWh lithium battery hybrid and fully installed system. Though the battery is Rs 1.6-1.9 lakh of the total.
What is the actual payback period for a 10kW system?
In case of net metering in a city, the payback time for a 10kW system is usually 33. 5 years. Without the provision of net metering or in areas with less sun, it may be 45 years.
