Does DHBVN cap residential net metering at 10 kW like UP?

No. DHBVN follows HERC 2021, which allows 1:1 net metering up to sanctioned load for systems ≤ 500 kW. So 10 kW residential keeps full net-metering economics.

What roof area is needed for 10 kW in Gurgaon?

Around 650 sqft of shadow-free roof for 18 × 580 Wp panels. Most independent houses in DLF Phase 4-5 and Sectors 56-95 have this comfortably.

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

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

Is 10 kW worth it in Gurgaon without a state subsidy?

Only if you use the units. At about 1,200 units a month, 10 kW suits big houses with several ACs. Below that, 5 kW gives a faster payback.

10 kW rooftop solar system installed in Gurgaon

10 kW is the sweet spot for independent Gurgaon houses on 300+ sq yd plots and large builder floors — DLF Phase 4-5, Sectors 56-95, South City, Sohna Road villas. 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 UPERC-style 10 kW residential cap, so the math holds at this size. PM Surya Ghar caps at ₹78,000, no Haryana top-up. Cost-per-kW drops 8-10% at 10 kW vs 3 kW, partially offsetting the absent state subsidy.

DISCOM Rules

10 kW with DHBVN

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

Net Metering Policy

DHBVN follows HERC 2021: 1:1 net metering up to sanctioned load for systems ≤ 500 kW. Settlement is monthly with annual carry-forward of surplus units.

HERC (Rooftop Solar Grid Interactive Systems) Regulations, 2021

Sanctioned Load Rule

Most Gurgaon residential connections are sanctioned at 3-5 kW single-phase. Anything above your sanctioned load needs Form A-2 load enhancement before the net-meter file moves.

Applies to all rooftop sizes including 10 kW

Haryana State Subsidy

Haryana has no active residential rooftop top-up subsidy as of 2026 — only the central PM Surya Ghar amount applies in DHBVN areas.

The 10 kW gotcha in Gurgaon

10 kW requires a 3-phase connection. Many older Gurgaon houses are single-phase — add ₹20-30k and 3-4 weeks for DHBVN phase upgrade.

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 load enhancement with DHBVN 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 Gurgaon

With no Haryana top-up, every kW above 3 kW is paid in full. 10 kW fits Gurgaon houses on larger plots in newer sectors where the bill already runs ₹7,500 or more a month.

Worked example: about 1200 units a month at ₹7/unit saves around ₹8,400 a month. On a net cost of ₹5,52,000, that pays back in about 5.5 years.
