What does rooftop solar cost in Gurugram?
After the central subsidy, a 3 kW system in Gurugram costs about ₹1.42 to 1.62 lakh and a 5 kW system about ₹2.52 to 2.82 lakh. For most Gurugram homes the ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar subsidy is the whole discount; Haryana's extra grant is for Antyodaya families. These are 2026 market prices of roughly ₹55,000 to ₹75,000 per kW, as of November 2026.
| 3 kW | 5 kW | |
|---|---|---|
| Price before subsidy | ₹2.2 to 2.4 lakh | ₹3.3 to 3.6 lakh |
| Central subsidy | ₹78,000 | ₹78,000 |
| Haryana top-up | None for most homes | None for most homes |
| Your net cost | ₹1.42 to 1.62 lakh | ₹2.52 to 2.82 lakh |
| Units a year | 4,200 to 4,350 | 7,000 to 7,250 |
| Rough yearly saving | Those units at your DHBVN slab rate | Those units at your DHBVN slab rate |
The rupee saving depends on which DHBVN slab your home sits in, and many Gurugram homes sit high because of summer AC use. We put the exact figure on your quote from your own bill. For a quick estimate, try the solar calculator.
Why do Gurugram homes need bigger systems?
Because the bills peak in summer. A Gurugram kothi or DLF-phase house running three or four split ACs from April to September can easily cross 300 units a month, and the PM Surya Ghar sizing guide puts homes above 300 units in the "above 3 kW" band. Many families we meet here end up at 5 kW or more.
The good news is that solar peaks when ACs do. The chart below shows a clear-day output curve for 5 kW: it climbs from about 7 am, gives over 3 units an hour around noon and settles by 5 pm. That is about 21 units, enough to run two ACs through the afternoon. What you do not use is exported through the net meter and comes back to you at night.
If power cuts matter to you, a hybrid system with a battery keeps essentials running. Otherwise a plain on-grid system is the better value. Our on-grid vs hybrid guide walks through the choice.
The HSVP 500 sq yd rule and your occupancy certificate
If your plot is 500 sq yd or larger, solar is not optional in Gurugram. A 2014 Haryana notification requires such plots to install at least 1 kWp or 5% of the sanctioned load, and it is linked to the occupancy certificate. This applies to HSVP (old HUDA) sector plots and is worth checking for large plots in DLF Phases 1 to 5, Sushant Lok and South City too.
In practice this matters most when you build or rebuild. Plan the system with your architect so the roof has space, the conduit runs are ready and the water tanks do not shade the panels. We can size it to meet the rule and to cut your bill properly, rather than putting in the bare minimum just for the certificate.
How do I apply for the subsidy with DHBVN?
You apply on the national portal and DHBVN does the technical approvals. HAREDA is the state nodal agency and Haryana is aiming for 2.22 lakh rooftops by 31 March 2027, so the system is busy but moving. The steps:
- Register on pmsuryaghar.gov.in with your DHBVN account number and apply.
- Choose a registered vendor. DHBVN checks feasibility for your connection.
- Sign the agreement, upload it and get the system installed with India-made DCR panels.
- We upload the installation details and DCR certificate. DHBVN inspects and fits the net meter.
- The commissioning certificate is issued, you add your bank details and redeem the subsidy, which is paid by direct transfer.
Families with income up to ₹1.8 lakh can apply for Haryana's 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 amount varies by income band, so we confirm your figure at survey and help with the forms.
Net metering with DHBVN
Net metering in Gurugram runs under HERC's 2021 regulations, which allow systems up to 500 kW. That covers everything from a 3 kW builder floor to a large society roof. DHBVN replaces your old meter with a two-way net meter after inspection, and your bill then shows units imported, units exported and the net.
The slow part is usually the sub-division office, not the roof work, which takes one to three days for most homes. We file the application, keep the paperwork in order and follow up until the meter is fitted. More on the process in our net metering guide.
Societies on Golf Course Road, Sohna Road and the new sectors
Gurugram's group housing societies are among the best solar candidates in NCR: big flat roofs, high common-area loads and committees that think in years. Common facilities like lifts, pumps and lighting get ₹18,000 per kW in central subsidy, up to 500 kW.
Towers along Golf Course Road, Golf Course Extension, Sohna Road and the Dwarka Expressway sectors mostly run DG backup, so we design the system with a controller that keeps solar working safely alongside the DG set. We present to the RWA, answer questions at the AGM and share a clear proposal the committee can circulate. See solar for societies.
Offices and units in Udyog Vihar and the industrial sectors pay commercial rates, which makes solar pay back fastest. Read commercial solar for the business case.
Why Konarq in Gurugram
With 300+ installations across NCR and the tricity, we know how DHBVN works and what Gurugram roofs throw at us: tall water tanks, solar water heaters already on the roof, terrace gardens and neighbours building upward. Every project follows our seven steps, from a bill check and roof survey to design, paperwork, installation, net meter and subsidy. Surya's chariot has seven horses; ours have seven steps, and you deal with one team for all of them.
We use India-made DCR panels, so you stay eligible for the subsidy, and from 1 June 2026 net-metered systems also need ALMM List-I modules with List-II cells, which ours meet. Modules keep at least 90% output at 12 years and 80% at 25 years.
After commissioning, we stay on for five years of care: maintenance visits, cleaning advice for the May to June dust and app monitoring so a drop in output gets noticed early.
