# How much does inverter installation cost in India? > Inverter installation in India costs ₹16,000–₹42,500 all-in for a standard home setup in 2026 — inverter (₹6,000–₹15,000) + 150Ah battery (₹12,000–₹18,000) + labour (₹1,000–₹2,500) + wiring (₹1,500–₹3,000). 1500VA/2000VA for a 3BHK is ₹35,000–₹55,000. Solar inverter: ₹1,00,000–₹2,50,000. **Source:** [https://solve24.in/answers/inverter-installation-cost-india](https://solve24.in/answers/inverter-installation-cost-india) **Updated:** 2026-08-06 **Trade:** electrician ## Answer A standard home inverter setup for India (2026) has four cost buckets: the inverter unit, the battery, the electrician labour, and wiring/circuit isolation. Total range: ₹16,000–₹42,500 depending on load capacity (VA rating) and battery size (Ah). For a 1BHK / small 2BHK (fans, lights, TV, wifi — 400–600W load), an 800VA inverter (₹6,000–₹10,000) + 150Ah tubular battery (₹12,000–₹15,000) + labour (₹1,000–₹2,000) + wiring (₹1,500–₹2,500) totals ₹20,500–₹29,500 all-in. For a 2BHK / 3BHK with more load (fans + lights + TV + fridge, 800–1200W), a 1500VA inverter (₹10,000–₹15,000) + 200Ah battery (₹16,000–₹20,000) + labour (₹1,500–₹2,500) + wiring (₹2,000–₹3,000) totals ₹29,500–₹40,500. Solar inverter setups (grid-tied or off-grid) are ₹1,00,000–₹2,50,000 for a 2–5 kW system — includes solar panels (₹40,000–₹1,50,000), inverter (₹25,000–₹60,000), mounting + wiring (₹15,000–₹30,000), and labour (₹5,000–₹15,000). ROI: 4–6 years. ## Data **Inverter installation cost in India (2026)** | Type | Inverter (₹) | Battery (₹) | Labour + wiring (₹) | All-in (₹) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 800VA / 150Ah (1BHK basic) | 6,000–10,000 | 12,000–15,000 | 2,500–4,500 | 20,500–29,500 | | 1100VA / 150Ah (2BHK) | 8,000–12,000 | 12,000–15,000 | 2,500–4,500 | 22,500–31,500 | | 1500VA / 200Ah (3BHK) | 10,000–15,000 | 16,000–20,000 | 3,500–5,500 | 29,500–40,500 | | 2000VA / 200Ah (large 3BHK) | 13,000–18,000 | 16,000–20,000 | 3,500–6,000 | 32,500–44,000 | | Solar hybrid (2 kW) | 25,000–40,000 | 20,000–40,000 | 15,000–25,000 | 1,00,000–1,60,000 | | Solar hybrid (5 kW) | 40,000–60,000 | 40,000–80,000 | 25,000–40,000 | 1,80,000–2,80,000 | ## Frequently asked ### What size inverter do I need for a 2BHK? 1100VA–1500VA for a standard 2BHK (fans, lights, TV, fridge, wifi). Add a 150Ah–200Ah tubular battery for 3–5 hours backup. Total setup: ₹22,500–₹40,500. ### Is Luminous or Microtek better? Roughly equivalent for home use. Luminous has slightly better after-sales network. Microtek is 5–10% cheaper for similar specs. Both give 2-year warranty on inverter, 3–4 years on tubular battery. ### What is the electrician's labour charge for inverter installation? ₹1,000–₹2,500 for a standard home inverter setup (wall mounting, wiring to switchboard, load balancing). Solar inverter setup: ₹5,000–₹15,000 (more complex, includes panel mounting). ### How long does a home inverter battery last? 3–5 years for standard tubular battery (Exide, Luminous, Amaron). Lithium batteries: 8–12 years but cost 3–4× more. Signs to replace: backup time drops below 60% of new. ### What is the inverter installation cost in Bangalore? Bangalore rates: 800VA setup ₹22,000–₹32,000, 1500VA setup ₹32,000–₹45,000 (base +30% on labour + wiring; inverter/battery cost is uniform pan-India). ## Related - https://solve24.in/answers/electrician-charges-in-india - https://solve24.in/answers/inverter-vs-generator-cost-india - https://solve24.in/answers/electrician-rate-list --- Published by Solve24 — India's hyperlocal services marketplace.
