1. What is Solar Battery Rebate?

The Solar Battery Rebate is a financial incentive provided by the Indian government to promote the adoption of solar energy storage systems. It reduces the upfront cost of solar batteries by a certain percentage.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple rebate formula:

Where:

• IN Quote (Rs) — The quoted price of the solar battery system in Indian Rupees
• IN Subsidy Rate — The government-specified subsidy rate (as a decimal between 0 and 1)

Explanation: The rebate amount is calculated by multiplying the quoted price by the applicable subsidy rate.

3. Importance of Rebate Calculation

Details: Accurate rebate calculation helps consumers understand the actual cost savings from government incentives and make informed decisions about solar battery investments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the quoted price in Indian Rupees and the current subsidy rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.3 for 30%). Both values must be positive numbers.
