What a solar company in Delhi can install
-

A 3 kW system on a builder floor or kothi can generate more than 300 units a month on average, covering most household bills under net metering.
₹2,15,000–₹2,47,000 per system -
Solar for housing societies
Group housing and gated communities in areas like Rohini and Mayur Vihar can use common rooftops for shared solar, with net metering through the serving DISCOM.
-
Commercial and industrial solar
Factories and warehouses in Okhla and Narela with high daytime loads can cut electricity costs with rooftop systems sized to their consumption.
-
Solar inverter and battery systems
Hybrid systems with battery backup are an option where power cuts are a concern, though net-metered on-grid systems remain the most common choice in Delhi.
Where rooftop solar makes sense in Delhi
Independent houses and builder floors in colonies like Greater Kailash, Vasant Kunj, and Model Town have flat roofs that suit solar panels well. Apartment owners in DDA flats and group housing societies can also benefit, but the installation is usually arranged through the society's managing committee. Commercial areas like Karol Bagh and Connaught Place, and industrial belts like Okhla, see strong interest because of high electricity tariffs.

Site visit and written quote
An installer visits your property, checks the roof and shadow, and gives a written quote with system size, price, and expected generation.
Apply on the National Portal
The installer helps you register on pmsuryaghar.gov.in and submit the application for PM Surya Ghar subsidy.
DISCOM feasibility and approval
Your serving DISCOM—BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna, Tata Power-DDL, or NDMC—checks the technical feasibility and approves the net metering arrangement.
Installation and net meter
The installer mounts the panels and inverter, and the DISCOM installs the net meter after inspection.

Summer demand and solar output in Delhi
Delhi's electricity consumption grew 8.9% in April 2026 as summer conditions progressed. Rooftop solar generation also peaks in these months, which can offset higher air-conditioning loads and reduce bills when you need it most.
Questions Delhi homeowners ask before going solar
How much subsidy can I get for rooftop solar in Delhi?
Under PM Surya Ghar, the central subsidy is ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the third kW, capped at ₹78,000 for systems of 3 kW or more. Delhi Solar Policy 2024 may add a state top-up; check the current amount on the official portal.
Which DISCOM handles net metering in my area?
It depends on your locality. Delhi is served by BSES Rajdhani, BSES Yamuna, Tata Power-DDL, and NDMC. Your application on pmsuryaghar.gov.in is routed to the DISCOM that supplies your electricity.
How long does it take to get the subsidy after installation?
If all credentials are entered correctly on the National Portal, the average time for processing the CFA is around 15 days after the redemption request is made by the consumer.
Can I install solar on a DDA flat or in a housing society?
Yes, but the process differs. For individual flats, you need the society's permission and a shared roof arrangement. Group housing societies can install a common system and distribute the benefits through net metering.
What is the price of a 3 kW solar system in Delhi?
A 3 kW on-grid residential system with installation starts between ₹2,15,000 and ₹2,47,000. The final price depends on the roof, inverter choice, and installer.
Will a 3 kW system cover my entire electricity bill?
A 3 kW system can generate more than 300 units a month on average. If your consumption is around that level, it can cover most of your bill under net metering.
