Does DHBVN Faridabad cap residential net metering at 10 kW?

No. DHBVN follows HERC 2021 (1:1 net metering up to sanctioned load), not UPERC's 10 kW cap. So 10 kW keeps full net-metering economics.

Can older Faridabad houses install 10 kW solar?

Sectors 15-21 (NIT) rooftops typically can't handle 10 kW without structural retrofit. Sectors 80-89 and Greater Faridabad RCC slabs comfortably support 10 kW.

What's the subsidy on 10 kW solar in Faridabad?

PM Surya Ghar caps at ₹78,000 above 3 kW. Haryana has no state top-up. Total: ₹78,000 — same as 3 kW because central is capped.

Is 10 kW common for Faridabad homes?

Only on larger independent plots and farmhouses. Most Faridabad homes are better served by 3-5 kW.

10 kW rooftop solar system installed in Faridabad

10 kW in Faridabad fits large independent plots and farmhouses in Sectors 80-89, Greater Faridabad and along Mathura Road. Eighteen 580 Wp panels need ~650 sqft of clean roof and a 3-phase connection. DHBVN allows 1:1 net metering up to sanctioned load under HERC 2021 — no UP-style 10 kW residential cap. PM Surya Ghar caps at ₹78,000, no Haryana state top-up. 10 kW typically rules out older Faridabad sectors 15-21 entirely due to structural limits.

DISCOM Rules

10 kW with DHBVN

The discom-specific rules that decide whether your 10 kW system gets approved.

Net Metering Policy

Same DHBVN process as Gurgaon under HERC 2021: 1:1 net metering up to sanctioned load, monthly settlement with annual surplus carry-forward.

HERC (Rooftop Solar Grid Interactive Systems) Regulations, 2021

Sanctioned Load Rule

DHBVN Faridabad division is slower on load enhancement than Gurgaon (3-4 weeks vs 2). We pre-file Form A-2 alongside the net-meter application to compress the timeline.

Applies to all rooftop sizes including 10 kW

Haryana State Subsidy

Haryana state subsidy is ₹0 as of 2026 — only the central PM Surya Ghar amount applies in DHBVN areas.

The 10 kW gotcha in Faridabad

10 kW is essentially impossible on 1990s-era NIT Faridabad rooftops without expensive retrofit. Stick to newer sectors or builder floors with RCC slabs designed for the load.

Getting 10 kW approved with DHBVN

Register on the PM Surya Ghar portal (pmsuryaghar.gov.in) with your CA number and pick your DISCOM.
Sanctioned load check: 10 kW needs 10 kW sanctioned load and 3-phase; file Form A-2 with DHBVN Faridabad first.
DHBVN gives technical feasibility for 10 kW under HERC 2021 net-metering rules.
Installation by a DHBVN-empanelled vendor, then the net-meter application with the installation report.
DHBVN inspection and bi-directional meter fitting; the system is commissioned.
After commissioning, the central subsidy is credited to your bank account through the portal. Haryana adds no state top-up, so central is the only subsidy.

What 10 kW means in Faridabad

10 kW fits large plots and farmhouses in Sectors 80-89, Greater Faridabad and along Mathura Road. Older sectors generally can't carry it without strengthening.
