The short answer
In Botad, a 3 kW rooftop solar system costs about ₹1.80 lakh to ₹2.25 lakh before subsidy. That falls to ₹1.02 lakh to ₹1.47 lakh after the ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar credit. Each kW generates 4 to 4.5 units a day. Botad is supplied by Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited (PGVCL) through its Botad circle, which processes net metering. A home system typically pays back in three and a half to five years.

Start with the figure in rupees, then check it against your own bill. Find the band that matches your last PGVCL bill in the left column. Then read across: system size, monthly units, the roof it needs and the cost once the subsidy is credited.
| Your monthly bill | System | Generates | Roof needed | Cost after subsidy | Payback |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹1,800 | 2 kW A 1 BHK or a ground-floor home in the old bazaar lanes with fans, a fridge and one cooler | 240–270units/month | ~200 sq ft | ₹65,000 – ₹95,000 ₹1.25 lakh–₹1.55 lakh before ₹60,000 subsidy | 3.5–4.5 years |
| ₹2,000–₹3,500 | 3 kW Best value A family home near Station Road or Gadhada Road that wants the full ₹78,000 subsidy | 360–405units/month | ~300 sq ft | ₹1.02 lakh – ₹1.47 lakh ₹1.80 lakh–₹2.25 lakh before ₹78,000 subsidy | 3.5–4.5 years |
| ₹3,500–₹6,000 | 5 kW A two-storey bungalow on Paliyad Road running two ACs through the March to June heat | 600–675units/month | ~500 sq ft | ₹2.07 lakh – ₹2.67 lakh ₹2.85 lakh–₹3.45 lakh before ₹78,000 subsidy | 4–5 years |
| ₹6,000–₹13,000 | 10 kW A diamond-polishing workshop, clinic or wholesale shop with daytime load | 1,200–1,350units/month | 700–1,000 sq ft | ₹4.42 lakh – ₹5.52 lakh ₹5.20 lakh–₹6.30 lakh before ₹78,000 subsidy | 4–5 years |
| Above ₹13,000 | 25 kW+ Ginning and pressing sheds, oil mills and cold rooms near the Haddad cotton yard | 3,000–3,400units/month | Site-specific | ₹10.75 lakh – ₹13.50 lakh ₹10.75 lakh–₹13.50 lakh, no subsidy | 3–4.5 years |
These are indicative Botad market ranges for 2026 for a complete on-grid system: Tier-1 modules, a branded inverter, galvanised mounting, protection gear and installation. They are not a Heaven Green quotation, which follows a site survey. Subsidy figures are the central PM Surya Ghar amounts published on pmsuryaghar.gov.in. Rooftop solar systems attract 5% GST on the equipment since 22 Sep 2025. A supply-and-install contract taxes 30% of the value as installation service at 18%, so the blended rate on a typical quote is about 8.9%. Generation assumes a roughly south-facing roof with no shade.
Units decide the size, not the rupee total. Your PGVCL bill prints units consumed and the amount payable. Size the array from the units, because the amount swings with slab, fuel surcharge and duty while the units are what the panels actually replace. Two Botad households paying similar amounts can need different systems.
Why 3 kW is the usual answer for a Botad home. The subsidy pays ₹30,000 on each of the first two kilowatts and ₹18,000 on the third, and nothing beyond. On a 3 kW system it covers close to a third of the price; on 10 kW it is closer to an eighth. If your bill sits on the border between two bands, the smaller size usually returns more per rupee.
Compare the parts list, not the headline. Two quotes for the same kW can differ in structure steel, cable size, earthing and surge protection, and those are what fail first on a dusty inland roof. Ask each vendor for a written Bill of Materials with make, model and quantity for every item. A quote without one cannot be compared fairly with one that has it.
The table gives units, not a rupee saving, and that is on purpose. What a generated unit is worth to you depends on the tariff slab printed on your own PGVCL bill. A residential connection in Sahakar Nagar Society is billed differently from a commercial one near the marketing yard. At the free survey we work the saving out from your bill, your slab and your sanctioned load, so the number you see is yours and not a district average. Prefer to work it out yourself first? Put your bill into our solar savings calculator. No phone number required.

PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana
Maximum central subsidy for a residential rooftop system.
Botad has no subsidy of its own and Gujarat adds no top-up to the central scheme. PM Surya Ghar pays the same amount in Botad as anywhere else in India. The only local piece is the utility that handles your file, and here that is PGVCL through its Botad circle.
Registration happens on pmsuryaghar.gov.in using the PGVCL consumer number from your bill, your mobile, Aadhaar and address. We check the consumer number against the bill before you submit, because a name or number mismatch is what holds up most Botad files at the first stage.
PGVCL reviews the request against your sanctioned load and the local transformer, then gives technical feasibility. You choose an empanelled vendor on the portal. Heaven Green Energy is on that list, so your application links to us directly.
Fitting panels before feasibility is granted can cost you the whole subsidy. After approval we supply Adani modules with serial numbers you can trace, and give you the Bill of Materials and warranty papers when the system is commissioned.
A PGVCL official inspects the system and the sub-division installs a bidirectional meter. That step produces the commissioning record on the portal. Our engineer is present for the inspection so any query is settled on the roof that day.
We submit the claim as soon as the commissioning record appears. The central government pays the subsidy straight into your bank account. It never passes through the installer, so be wary of any Botad vendor who asks to receive it for you.
PM Surya Ghar covers residential connections only. A ginning factory, oil mill, diamond workshop or shop on Tower Chowk cannot claim it, and neither can an agricultural pump connection. Businesses claim accelerated depreciation instead; farmers should look at PM-KUSUM for solar pumps.
Your file goes to PGVCL. Botad sits inside Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited's licence area. The district has its own PGVCL circle office, so you are not routed to Bhavnagar or Rajkot for the paperwork.
Electricity in Botad is distributed by Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited (PGVCL), the GUVNL company that supplies Saurashtra and Kutch. Botad is one of its twelve licence districts. PGVCL runs a Botad circle office at the Old Power House Compound in Botad, which reports to its Bhavnagar zone. Under it, the Botad division covers the town sub-divisions (Botad Town-1 and Botad Town-2) plus Botad Rural, Paliyad, Barwala and Ranpur. A separate Gadhada division handles Gadhada and the villages around it. The exact sub-division for your connection is printed on your bill.
One point confuses people here. Barwala and Ranpur talukas were part of Ahmedabad district until Botad district was carved out in August 2013, and some addresses and post offices still show Ahmedabad. That does not put them under Torrent Power, which is licensed for Ahmedabad city, or under UGVCL. They are PGVCL connections and their net-metering files go through the Botad circle.
The commercial rules do not come from PGVCL. They are set by the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC), whose rooftop solar regulations apply to every licensee in the state. Your system size is limited by your sanctioned load, and exported units are adjusted against imported units on your bill rather than paid in cash. If you want a larger array than your load allows, a load extension request has to go in first, and we check that before quoting.
Consumer details, sanctioned load, system rating, single-line diagram and roof layout go to the PGVCL sub-division named on your bill, with the registration fee.
Filed by usPGVCL checks the distribution transformer and feeder capacity against your proposed rating and issues the approval that allows installation to begin.

Botad runs on cotton and diamonds, and both businesses use most of their power in daylight, which is when a rooftop array produces.
Botad's APMC market yard is on Paliyad Road, and the cotton sub-yard sits beside it at Haddad (Hadadad in some trade listings). Ginning and pressing factories line Paliyad Road and the Haddad side, with cottonseed oil mills alongside them. The town is also a diamond cutting and polishing centre, with small workshops spread through the residential lanes. Ginning sheds give you a large flat or pitched roof and a heavy daytime motor load in the cotton season. A polishing workshop gives you a steady load from lights, fans and wheels through working hours.
None of these can claim PM Surya Ghar, which is for homes. A business instead claims accelerated depreciation on the solar asset, which for a profitable taxpayer is often worth more than the home subsidy. It can also pay through a zero down payment arrangement where the instalment sits below the bill it replaces.
Farm connections are a separate case. Gujarat moved farm supply onto separate agricultural feeders under Jyotigram Yojana, and a rooftop net-metering file does not cover a pump connection. Farming cotton in a Botad, Gadhada or Barwala village and want to replace grid or diesel pumping? Read our PM-KUSUM page and the GEDA guide to KUSUM in Gujarat. A farmhouse with its own residential connection can still take a rooftop system under PM Surya Ghar.
We have installed since 2017 and passed 10,000 installations across Gujarat. Here is what that means for a Botad roof in practical terms.
Heaven Green Energy is headquartered at Mota Varachha, Surat, and that is our only office. We serve Botad and the wider Saurashtra region through our channel partner network and field engineering team, who carry out surveys, supervise installation and handle PGVCL coordination on the ground. We have no branch, address or local phone number in Botad, and we tell you so before you sign rather than after.
There are four stages between your first call and the first export credit on your PGVCL bill. The durations below are typical for Botad, not guarantees.
We read units, tariff category and sanctioned load from your bill and give an indicative size and price band before anyone visits.

2–5 weeksStructure, modules, inverter, earthing and protection, followed by the PGVCL inspection and bidirectional meter. Generation starts that week.
2–4 days on siteBotad lies inland, in a shallow valley between low hills where the Utavali stream forms. It has a hot dry summer from mid-March to mid-June, a monsoon that brings roughly 600 mm in a typical year, and mild, dry winters. There is no coastal salt here; the problems are heat, dust and storms.
From October to May there is little rain to wash the glass, so dust from black-soil fields and unpaved roads builds up steadily. Near Paliyad Road and Haddad, the ginning season adds cotton lint and fine trash that sticks to panels after dew. Soiling is the loss you can control, so we set the cleaning frequency by where your roof is. A society off Gadhada Road needs less than a shed beside the cotton yard.
Long-run averages put Botad's summer range at roughly 24°C to 42°C, and panels on a sun-baked slab run far hotter than the air. Output drops as cells heat up, so we raise the structure enough for air to move beneath the modules and keep the inverter in shade with ventilation. Both decisions cost almost nothing at installation and protect yield for decades.
Thunderstorms are frequent at the start of the monsoon, with gusty wind ahead of them. A structure that is merely bolted to a parapet can lift in the first storm. We use hot-dip galvanised steel anchored into the slab, sealed cable entries and a tested earthing pit with lightning and surge protection. A storm is when weak earthing shows itself.
We survey and install across Botad town, the Paliyad Road cotton belt and the villages of all four talukas in the district. If your village is not listed, it is still likely covered. Send your pin code and we will confirm.
