Rooftop solar in Faridabad

What does rooftop solar cost in Faridabad?

For a home, a 3 kW system costs about ₹1.42 to 1.62 lakh after the central subsidy, and 5 kW about ₹2.52 to 2.82 lakh. For businesses there is no PM Surya Ghar subsidy, but the price per kW drops as the system grows. All figures are 2026 market prices, as of November 2026.

Your rough yearly saving is the units in the last column multiplied by your DHBVN rate. For a home that rate depends on your slab; for a factory it is the industrial tariff, which is why commercial systems earn back fastest. For most homes the central subsidy is the whole discount; families covered by Haryana's Antyodaya scheme get an extra grant, explained below. Our price guide has more detail.

Solar for factories in the sectors and NIT

Faridabad is one of NCR's oldest industrial towns, and its factories are where rooftop solar pays back fastest. Units in the industrial sectors such as 24, 25, 58 and 59, and in the older NIT areas, run machines through the day, exactly when solar produces.

What makes a factory roof different

• Metal sheet roofs. Many sheds have trapezoidal or corrugated sheets. These take a clamp-based mounting that does not drill through the sheet, so the roof stays watertight. We check the sheet gauge, purlins and skylights first.
• Daytime load. A unit that runs one shift can use nearly everything the roof makes, with little left to export. That is the best case for savings.
• Dust. Forging and foundry work put more dust in the air. Panels on these roofs need a washing schedule, weekly at least, and a tap point and safe walkway on the roof.
• Size. HERC's 2021 net metering regulations allow up to 500 kW, which covers most single-site units in Faridabad.

What to check before you sign

Ask any installer three things. First, are the modules on ALMM List-I with List-II cells? For net-metered projects commissioned on or after 1 June 2026 this is required, so it is not optional for a factory either. Second, do the modules meet IS 14286 and IS/IEC 61730, and the inverter IS 16221? Third, what does the performance warranty say? Modules should keep at least 90% output at 12 years and 80% at 25 years. We put all three in writing in the quote.

Businesses also get accelerated depreciation on solar assets, which improves the case further. We can quote outright purchase or EMI. Read more on commercial solar.

Home subsidy and how to apply with DHBVN

Faridabad homes get the central PM Surya Ghar subsidy of up to ₹78,000 and apply through the national portal, with DHBVN handling the technical side and HAREDA as the state nodal agency. Haryana is aiming for 2.22 lakh rooftops by 31 March 2027.

The steps: register on pmsuryaghar.gov.in with your DHBVN account number, choose a registered vendor, wait for DHBVN's feasibility check, upload the signed agreement and get the system installed with India-made DCR panels. DHBVN then inspects and fits the net meter. Once the commissioning certificate is issued you add bank details and the subsidy arrives by direct transfer.

Families with income up to ₹1.8 lakh can also apply for the Haryana Antyodaya grant: ₹25,000 per kW or 40% of the cost, whichever is lower, for up to 2 kW, on top of the central subsidy. The exact amount depends on your income band, so we confirm your figure at survey.

How net metering works with DHBVN

DHBVN replaces your meter with a two-way net meter after inspecting the system, and your bill then shows units imported, exported and the net. It works the same way for a 3 kW house in Sector 15 and a 200 kW roof in an industrial sector, under HERC's 2021 regulations.

For factories, we look at your sanctioned load and contract demand, check the transformer and design the system so it fits within the rules. For homes, the main wait is the inspection and meter fitting; the roof work itself is one to three days. We file, follow up and keep you posted. See net metering in Delhi NCR.

Sector homes, NIT houses and Greater Faridabad societies

Faridabad's homes fall into three groups, and each needs a slightly different plan.

HSVP sector houses in sectors like 14, 15, 16, 21 and 28 sit on wide plots with flat RCC roofs. Plots of 500 sq yd and above must install at least 1 kWp or 5% of sanctioned load under a 2014 Haryana notification linked to the occupancy certificate, so if you are rebuilding, plan solar with the drawings.

NIT houses in the older numbered areas are closer together, and neighbours have often built upward. Shade mapping matters here: we track the shadow of the neighbour's floor through the day before placing panels. You need about 80 to 100 sq ft of shade-free roof per kW. Where roof space is tight, a raised structure over the water tank or stairwell often adds the last kW you need.

Greater Faridabad societies across the Neharpar sectors have newer towers with large roofs. Common facilities get ₹18,000 per kW in central subsidy, up to 500 kW, and we work with the RWA through the AGM. See solar for societies.

Why Konarq in Faridabad

We have done 300+ installations across NCR and the tricity, for homes, societies and businesses. Whether it is a kothi or a forging unit, the work follows the same seven steps: bill check, roof survey, design and a fixed quote, paperwork, installation, net meter and inspection, and subsidy or handover. Konark was built as a chariot pulled by seven horses; our seven steps pull your project from first call to first unit.

Every home system comes with five years of care, and every business system with monitoring for each string, so a dirty or faulty panel shows up quickly. Panels are India-made, with at least 90% output at 12 years and 80% at 25 years.
