Delhi rooftop solar incentives & savings (2024–25)
Homeowners and businesses in New Delhi can tap into a range of government support when installing rooftop solar. The central PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana (launched Feb 2024) offers a one-time subsidy on residential rooftop systems (up to 3 kW). In Delhi, new state incentives add a capital rebate and generation-based payouts. Net metering allows you to bank unused solar power at 1:1 value, and recent DERC rules have even waived application fees for small systems. Altogether, these incentives – plus decades of free solar electricity – can cut bills sharply. Below we break down the key benefits for residential and commercial installations and show sample savings for a 3 kW home system and a 50 kW business system.
