DISCOM Rules

2 kW with NPCL (Noida Power Company)

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

Net Metering Policy

NPCL is the only private discom in NCR — net metering paperwork moves through NPCL's own portal, not UPPCL's. UPERC rules still apply: 1:1 up to 10 kW residential, gross-metering above.

UPERC Rooftop Solar Regulations, 2019 (applied via NPCL)

Sanctioned Load Rule

NPCL processes load enhancement faster than UPPCL/PVVNL — typically 10-14 days vs 3 weeks. Sanctioned-load cap on rooftop kW still applies.

Applies to all rooftop sizes including 2 kW

Uttar Pradesh State Subsidy

NPCL consumers are eligible for the UP state ₹30,000 flat top-up (the scheme is state-wide, not UPPCL-specific). Disbursed via the unified PM Surya Ghar portal.

The 2 kW gotcha in Noida

NPCL uses its own portal, not UPPCL's. Vendors who only know UPPCL paperwork sometimes file in the wrong system and lose 2 weeks.
