2 kW rooftop solar system installed in Ghaziabad

2 kW is rare in Ghaziabad — most independent houses here have larger sanctioned loads and bigger bills, so the math usually points at 3-5 kW. That said, for compact 2 BHKs in Vaishali, Indirapuram or Kaushambi with a ₹1,500-2,200 bill, 2 kW does the job. Four 580 Wp panels, ~140 sqft of roof. PVVNL approval is straightforward at this size — well inside the 10 kW UPERC net-metering cap, no gross-metering questions. PM Surya Ghar pays ₹60,000 and UP adds ₹30,000 flat, regardless of system size.

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

Net Metering Policy

UPERC allows 1:1 net metering up to 10 kW for residential rooftops. Systems above 10 kW move to gross-metering, which changes the payback math significantly.

UPERC (Rooftop Solar PV Grid Interactive Systems) Regulations, 2019

Sanctioned Load Rule

PVVNL caps rooftop capacity at sanctioned load. Load enhancement takes 2-3 weeks and a one-time security deposit.

Applies to all rooftop sizes including 2 kW

Uttar Pradesh State Subsidy

UP state top-up of ₹30,000 (flat) stacks on PM Surya Ghar via the unified PM Surya Ghar portal — no separate application.
