Rooftop solar installation in Faridabad, Haryana
High quality and trusted solar installation for you
Faridabad is one of the National Capital Region's largest industrial and residential hubs, with a strong mix of independent houses, group housing societies, and commercial rooftops well-suited to solar. Electricity here is supplied by Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN), the same DISCOM that serves Gurugram, and net metering is governed by the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC).
VaySolar helps Faridabad residents compare trusted panel brands, understand exactly what subsidy applies here, evaluate system performance, and complete DHBVN net metering correctly.
Why install rooftop solar in Faridabad
- Up to 20% in return over 25 years with zero bills
- ₹78,000 central subsidy on 3 kW+ systems
- 1600+ units from 100 sq. feet roof area
Faridabad has no state-level solar subsidy
Unlike Delhi or Uttar Pradesh, Haryana currently offers no additional state top-up on rooftop solar. If a vendor quotes you a "₹1,08,000 combined subsidy" or a "double subsidy" for a Faridabad address, that figure is for Delhi or UP and does not apply here. The only subsidy available in Faridabad is the central PM Surya Ghar subsidy, capped at ₹78,000 for a 3 kW+ system. The economics are still strong — a typical 3 kW system pays back in roughly 3.5–4 years — just without a state-level boost.
DHBVN and net metering in Faridabad
Faridabad falls under Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN), the same DISCOM that serves Gurugram. This matters for solar installation because:
- All PM Surya Ghar and net metering applications for Faridabad addresses go through DHBVN, not a BSES or Tata Power channel
- Net metering in Haryana is governed by HERC's Solar Net Metering/Gross Metering Regulations, which apply uniformly across DHBVN and UHBVN territory
- Surplus solar generation is exported to the grid and credited against consumption, with unused monthly surplus carried forward and settled at an annual true-up rate set by HERC
- Faridabad's industrial and commercial rooftops (factories, warehouses, showrooms along NH-19 and the Old Faridabad–Ballabgarh belt) are eligible for solar under the same DHBVN framework, alongside residential properties
- Properties inside private developer townships or group housing societies that receive power through a private management company rather than directly from DHBVN should confirm the solar application process with their RWA first
HAREDA
The Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency (HAREDA) is the state's nodal agency for solar and can assist with escalations if a DHBVN application stalls. VaySolar follows up directly with DHBVN so homeowners don't have to chase approvals themselves.
Residential solar panel price in Faridabad
Solar system costs before subsidy are broadly similar across the NCR, though the net cost in Faridabad is higher than in Delhi since only the central subsidy applies here:
| System size | Approx. gross cost | Central subsidy (PM Surya Ghar) | Approx. net cost (Faridabad) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kW | ₹65,000–₹85,000 | ₹30,000 | ₹35,000–₹55,000 |
| 2 kW | ₹1,30,000–₹1,60,000 | ₹60,000 | ₹70,000–₹1,00,000 |
| 3 kW | ₹1,90,000–₹2,40,000 | ₹78,000 | ₹1,12,000–₹1,62,000 |
| 5 kW | ₹3,10,000–₹3,60,000 | ₹78,000 (capped) | ₹2,32,000–₹2,82,000 |
Why prices vary
Final pricing depends on panel wattage, inverter brand, mounting structure for your specific roof (independent floor terrace vs villa or factory roof), and cabling distance. Independent houses in NIT and Old Faridabad typically take a 3–5 kW system, while larger group housing rooftops and commercial/industrial sheds often support 10 kW+.
PM Surya Ghar subsidy process in Faridabad
- ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW
- ₹18,000 per kW for the third kW
- Capped at ₹78,000 for systems of 3 kW or above — this is the full subsidy available in Faridabad, with no state top-up

Common Questions
Which DISCOM serves Faridabad?
Faridabad is served by Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN), the same DISCOM that serves Gurugram. Net metering is governed by the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC).
Does Faridabad get the same ₹1,08,000 subsidy as Delhi?
No. Delhi's ₹1,08,000 figure includes a Delhi-specific state top-up on top of the central subsidy. Haryana currently has no equivalent state-level solar subsidy, so Faridabad homeowners qualify only for the central PM Surya Ghar subsidy, capped at ₹78,000 for 3 kW and above.
What is the residential solar panel price in Faridabad?
Before subsidy, a residential rooftop system in Faridabad typically costs ₹65,000–₹85,000 per kW, so a 3 kW system runs roughly ₹1,90,000–₹2,40,000. After the central subsidy only (up to ₹78,000 on 3 kW+), net cost typically falls to around ₹1,12,000–₹1,62,000.
How does DHBVN net metering work?
Excess solar power exported to the grid is recorded on a bi-directional meter installed by DHBVN after a site inspection. Export and import units appear on your bill, with surplus carried forward monthly and settled at an annual true-up rate set by HERC.
Can commercial and industrial rooftops in Faridabad install solar?
Yes. Faridabad's factories, warehouses, and commercial buildings can install solar under DHBVN's net metering framework, though the residential subsidy slab (up to ₹78,000) applies only to residential connections — commercial and industrial systems are evaluated separately for applicable incentives and payback.
How much electricity can I generate with solar?
100 sq ft of solar panels can generate up to 800-1400 units in a year, depending on orientation, shading, and panel efficiency.
What components are needed to install solar?
Solar PV modules, Mounting Structure, Inverter, Junction Box, Data Logger, Cables & Switches. One may choose to install a battery as well.
How do I install a solar plant?
- Find trusted vendors in your area
- Conduct a feasibility study at your premise
- Ask vendors to provide a proposal to you
- Finalize the vendor who provides the best value
- Apply to DHBVN for approvals
- Vendors will install the PV plant
- Clean panels once in 3 months

How do I evaluate solar vendors in Faridabad?
Customer should consider at least the following factors:
- Price of the system
- Warranties of system and components
- Energy generation estimates and guarantees
- Vendor service backup and arrangements in the area
- Track record of the vendor – along with customers' feedback about system performance and service provided by vendors
Though important, the system price should never be the only factor for deciding vendors.
How do I claim subsidy from the government in Faridabad?
Subsidy is only provided on PV systems with Indian-manufactured (ALMM-listed) solar panels. Due approvals are needed from DHBVN before the plant is installed. With our solar installers, you sit at home and only pay the subsidized price while we work with DHBVN for due approvals.
Is a housing society in Faridabad eligible?
Properties billed directly by DHBVN follow the standard process. Properties inside private developer townships or group housing societies billed through a management company should check with their RWA first, since the application route can differ.
