Is 2 kW solar enough for a Delhi 1 BHK?

Yes. A 2 kW system generates around 240 units/month — enough for a 1 BHK or compact 2 BHK with one AC running 4-6 hours during summer.

Will BSES approve 2 kW on my existing connection?

If your sanctioned load is 2 kW or more, yes. Most Delhi single-phase connections are sanctioned at 3-4 kW, so 2 kW slots in without any load-enhancement filing.

What's the total subsidy on 2 kW solar in Delhi?

PM Surya Ghar gives ₹60,000 (₹30,000/kW for the first 2 kW) and Delhi state adds ₹20,000 on top. Total stacked subsidy: ₹80,000.

2 kW rooftop solar system installed in Delhi

A 2 kW system is the entry point for Delhi homes — 1 BHKs, small 2 BHKs, or anyone with a ₹1,500-2,200 monthly bill. Under BSES/TPDDL, 2 kW comfortably fits inside the standard 3 kW sanctioned load most Delhi homes already have, so no load enhancement is needed. PM Surya Ghar pays ₹60,000 (the full upTo2kW slab), and Delhi adds ₹20,000 on top. Four 580 Wp panels need roughly 140 sqft of shadow-free roof — workable on most parapet-bound Delhi terraces.

DISCOM Rules

The discom-specific rules that decide whether your 2 kW system gets approved.

Net Metering Policy

DERC allows 1:1 net metering up to your sanctioned load. Export above sanctioned load is permitted under net-billing, not full net-metering.

DERC Net Metering Regulations, 2014 (amended 2019)

Sanctioned Load Rule

Your rooftop kW cannot exceed sanctioned load without a load-enhancement application to BSES/TPDDL first. We check this before quoting.

Applies to all rooftop sizes including 2 kW

The 2 kW gotcha in Delhi

BSES sometimes asks for a parapet shadow study above 2 kW in dense colonies. At exactly 2 kW it's almost always waived.
