- If you’ve started comparing brands for your rooftop, the Adani solar panel has almost certainly come up.
- It’s one of India’s biggest solar manufacturers, and its TOPCon panels are widely used in homes and businesses.
But the prices you see online swing from ₹8,000 to ₹17,000 for what looks like the same 550W panel. This guide explains why, gives you the real 2026 price per panel and per watt, and shows what a complete 3kW, 5kW or 10kW Adani system costs once the subsidy is applied.
Adani Solar Panel Price in 2026
Direct answer: In 2026, an Adani 550W TOPCon panel costs about ₹13,400–₹14,900 for a DCR panel and roughly ₹8,000–₹12,000 for a non-DCR panel, including 5% GST. The gap exists because DCR panels use Indian-made cells and qualify for the PM Surya Ghar subsidy.

A complete on-grid system costs about ₹1.5-2.2 lakh for 3kW, ₹2.6-3.6 lakh for 5kW and ₹5-6.5 lakh for 10kW before subsidy.
| DCR (subsidy-eligible) | Non-DCR | |
| Price per watt (Adani’s published rate, before GST) | ₹23.25 – ₹24.76 | ₹13.70 – ₹14.20 |
| 550W panel, with 5% GST | About ₹13,400 – ₹14,900 | About ₹8,000 – ₹12,000 |
| PM Surya Ghar subsidy | Eligible | Not eligible |
| Best for | Homes claiming the subsidy | Large homes and businesses (see the deadline below) |
The per-watt rates are Adani Solar’s own indicative prices on its TOPCon product page. The DCR range also matches dealer quotes of ₹25–27 per watt including GST, reported in October 2026. The top of the non-DCR range is a retail listing for a single 550Wp panel. Prices change often, so confirm before you buy.
Who Is Adani Solar?
Adani Solar is the solar manufacturing arm of the Adani Group. According to the company:
- it entered solar manufacturing in 2017
- it has 10 GW of module capacity, 4 GW of cell capacity and 2 GW of ingot and wafer capacity
- its plant is in Mundra, Gujarat
- it has shipped over 20 GW of modules
Because Adani makes its own cells, it can supply DCR panels, which are needed for subsidised home systems. Its modules are also on MNRE’s Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM), which is required for most grid-connected projects.
Adani Solar Panel Types
TOPCon (the current range)
Adani’s Shine TOPCon series uses N-type TOPCon cells. On its official product page, Adani lists:
| Specification | Adani Shine TOPCon |
| Cell technology | N-type TOPCon, 16 busbars, half-cut cells |
| Wattage (current series page) | 610–640 Wp |
| Bifaciality | Up to 85% |
| Yearly degradation | 0.40% |
| Power warranty | 30 years |
The 550W–575W bifacial TOPCon panels are the size most often used on home rooftops. You can see the specifications on ourAdani TOPCon 550W panel page.
If you’re choosing between the two wattages, our guide toAdani TOPCon 550W vs 575W compares them.
Mono PERC (the older range)
Adani also sells Mono PERC panels at 540–560 Wp, with efficiency up to 21.22%. They cost a little less, but TOPCon handles heat better and degrades more slowly. For most new systems in 2026, TOPCon is the better choice.
Bifacial panels
Most Adani TOPCon panels are bifacial, meaning the rear side also generates power from reflected light. The gain is highest on elevated structures over light-coloured roofs.

Adani 550W Panel Price, Explained
Why the same panel has two prices
| DCR panel | Non-DCR panel | |
| Solar cells | Made in India | Imported |
| Why the price differs | Indian cells are in shorter supply and cost more | Imported cells are cheaper |
| Subsidy | Eligible | Not eligible |
On a 550W panel, the DCR premium is roughly ₹5,000–6,000 per panel at Adani’s published rates. That’s why you must always check which type a quote includes before comparing prices.
Our DCR vs non-DCR panel guide covers this in detail.
Price by number of panels (DCR, 550W)
| Panels | Capacity | Approx. panel cost (DCR, with GST) |
| 1 | 550 W | ₹13,400 – ₹14,900 |
| 6 | 3.3 kW | ₹80,000 – ₹89,000 |
| 9 | 4.95 kW | ₹1.21 – ₹1.34 lakh |
| 18 | 9.9 kW | ₹2.41 – ₹2.68 lakh |
This is the cost of panels only. A working system also needs an inverter, mounting structure, cables, earthing, a net meter and installation.
What changes the panel price
- Quantity. Dealers price a single panel higher than a pallet.
- Wattage and series. Higher-wattage and bifacial models cost more per panel.
- Where you buy. An authorised channel partner’s price can differ from an online listing, but it comes with genuine warranty support.
- Market movements. Module prices moved a lot in 2026, so check the date on any price list.
Adani Solar System Cost With Subsidy (3kW, 5kW, 10kW)
Most buyers don’t buy panels alone. They buy an installed system. Here are typical 2026 market prices for on-grid systems with DCR panels, and what you pay after the central subsidy.
| System | Adani 550W panels | Typical price before subsidy | Central subsidy | After subsidy |
| 3kW | 6 | ₹1.5 – ₹2.2 lakh | ₹78,000 | ₹72,000 – ₹1.42 lakh |
| 5kW | 9–10 | ₹2.6 – ₹3.6 lakh | ₹78,000 | ₹1.82 – ₹2.82 lakh |
| 10kW | 18–19 | ₹5 – ₹6.5 lakh | ₹78,000 | ₹4.22 – ₹5.72 lakh |
These are market ranges for complete installed systems, taken from 2026 price guides. They are not Adani’s or Kondaas’s fixed prices. Your quote depends on your roof, structure and inverter.
- How the subsidy works: PM Surya Ghar pays ₹30,000 for 1kW, ₹60,000 for 2kW and a maximum of ₹78,000 for 3kW and above, for residential grid-connected systems with DCR panels installed by a registered vendor.
- Eligible Tamil Nadu households get a further ₹22,000 for 3kW and above from the state top-up, if they registered on the PM Surya Ghar portal on or after 5 August 2026.
What each size suits
- 3kW: homes using about 250-350 units a month. It needs roughly 300 sq ft of shade-free roof.
- 5kW: homes using about 400-600 units a month, usually with two or more ACs.
- See our 5kW solar system price guide.
- 10kW: large homes, small offices and shops. It generates about 40 units a day and needs roughly 700-800 sq ft.
- See our 10kW Adani bifacial TOPCon system.
How much power will an Adani system generate?
MNRE’s consumer FAQ says 1kW of rooftop solar generates 4 to 5.5 units on a clear sunny day. That applies to any good-quality panel, including Adani’s:
| System | Clear-day generation | Planning average per month |
| One 550W panel | About 2.2 – 3 units | About 65 units |
| 3kW | 12 – 16.5 units | About 360 units |
| 5kW | 20 – 27.5 units | About 600 units |
| 10kW | 40 – 55 units | About 1,200 units |
The monthly averages use the lower figure of 4 units per kW a day, to allow for cloudy days, dust and heat. Your actual output depends on your roof’s direction, tilt and shading, so ask your installer for a yearly generation estimate for your site.
To estimate your savings: multiply the yearly units by the tariff you pay per unit. Then divide your cost after subsidy by that yearly saving to get a simple payback period. The panel brand changes this very little. Your tariff, your daytime usage and your state’s net metering rules matter far more.
For a 10kW system, check the DCR maths
The subsidy stops at ₹78,000, but the DCR premium keeps growing with every panel. On a 10kW system, the extra cost of DCR panels can be more than the subsidy. In that case, giving up the subsidy and using non-DCR panels may save money.
But there’s a deadline. Under MNRE’s current order, net-metered projects commissioned after 31 December 2026 must use panels with Indian-made cells from ALMM List-II. So the non-DCR saving applies only if your system is commissioned by then.
Is Adani the Right Brand for You?
Strengths
- Makes its own cells, so DCR panels are available for subsidised homes.
- 30-year power warranty and 0.40% yearly degradation on Shine TOPCon.
- Online warranty certificate. You can download it from Adani Solar’s website using your panels’ serial numbers.
- High bifaciality (up to 85%) for extra rear-side generation.
Things to check
- Model and wattage availability. The 550–575W and 610–640W series may not all be in stock near you.
- Datasheet details. Adani’s product page shows more than one efficiency figure, so ask for the datasheet of the exact model quoted.
- Who you buy from. Buy through an authorised channel partner, so the warranty is valid and claims are supported.
How Adani compares
If you’re still weighing brands, these comparisons help:
In short, Adani, Waaree and Tata TOPCon panels perform closely. The better choice usually comes down to price, local availability and after-sales support.
How to Buy Adani Solar Panels the Right Way
- Decide your system size from your yearly electricity use.
- Choose DCR or non-DCR. Pick DCR if you want the subsidy. For 10kW and above, compare both.
- Buy through an authorised partner or a registered installer. For the subsidy, the installer must be a registered PM Surya Ghar vendor for your area.
- Ask for an itemised quote that names the exact Adani model, wattage and number of panels.
- Our solar panel installation cost breakdown shows what each line should cost.
- Collect your documents: the invoice, DCR certificate, panel serial numbers and warranty certificate.
- Track your subsidy in your consumer login.
- See how to check your PM Surya Ghar application status.
Conclusion
An Adani 550W TOPCon panel costs about ₹13,400–₹14,900 as a DCR panel in 2026, and a complete system costs about ₹1.5–2.2 lakh for 3kW, ₹2.6–3.6 lakh for 5kW and ₹5–6.5 lakh for 10kW before the ₹78,000 subsidy. Check whether a quote uses DCR or non-DCR panels, buy through an authorised source, and compare the full installed price, not just the panel price.
