The short answer

Rooftop solar in Gandhidham costs roughly ₹60,000 to ₹75,000 per kW before subsidy. A 3 kW system runs ₹1.80 lakh to ₹2.25 lakh, falling to ₹1.02 lakh to ₹1.47 lakh after the ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar subsidy. Each kW yields 4 to 4.5 units daily at Kachchh irradiance. PGVCL runs net metering here. Payback lands between three and a half and five years.

Price, size and savings

Find your bill. Read across.

Most Gandhidham solar pages make you ring for a price. This table does not. Find your monthly bill on the left, then read across for system size, monthly units, shadow-free roof area, cost band and payback. Two systems of identical rating can differ by a lakh, and in this town the difference is usually hidden in the steel rather than the glass.

Indicative Gandhidham market ranges, 2026

Up to ₹1,800 2 kW 1–2 BHK, one AC used sparingly 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

These are indicative Gandhidham market ranges for 2026 covering Tier-1 modules, a branded inverter, galvanised structure, protection, cabling and installation. They are not a Heaven Green Energy quotation. Subsidy figures are the central PM Surya Ghar amounts published on pmsuryaghar.gov.in. Generation assumes a shadow-free, broadly south-facing roof.

Size against units, not rupees. Your PGVCL bill prints the amount and the units consumed. Units are what an array actually cancels, so that is the figure a serious surveyor asks for first. The roof column says shadow-free deliberately. An overhead tank, a parapet or a neighbour's new first floor can strip two productive hours off a roof. On the tight plots around Ward 12A and Chawla Chowk, a raised structure pays back its extra steel quickly.

The 3 kW cliff decides most homes here. PM Surya Ghar pays ₹30,000 for each of the first two kilowatts and ₹18,000 for the third, then stops. The subsidy therefore covers more than a third of a 3 kW system and barely a seventh of a 10 kW one. If your bill sits near the boundary, 3 kW usually returns more per rupee spent.

The Gandhidham warning: ask for the galvanising thickness and the fastener grade in writing. You are eight kilometres from a working creek port. Salt-laden air chews through thin zinc coatings and plain mild-steel bolts in a handful of years, and a structure that fails at year six wipes out the whole saving. Vendors quoting the floor of these bands are cutting the mounting system, the earthing and the cable, never the panels. Demand a Bill of Materials listing make, model, quantity, coating microns and fastener grade.

Why there is no rupee saving in that table

The table shows no rupee saving, on purpose. Your saving depends on the tariff slab you personally sit in, printed on your own PGVCL bill. A domestic connection in Ward 10B is not on the same slab as a commercial one at Mithirohar GIDC. Guessing it here would be dishonest. Bring your last bill to the free survey and we work the real number out in front of you. Nobody can price your saving accurately without that piece of paper, and anyone quoting a rupee figure over the phone is guessing at your slab. 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

₹78,000

Maximum central subsidy for a residential rooftop system.

  • ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW
  • ₹18,000 for the 3rd kW
  • Nothing paid above 3 kW
  • Credited directly to your bank account
  • We file the entire claim for you
How the subsidy works

Five steps, and we run four of them.

Anyone advertising a larger "Gandhidham subsidy" is selling a story. PM Surya Ghar is a central scheme, so the amount is identical in Gandhidham, Rajkot and Delhi. What changes is which licensee processes your file, and here that is PGVCL through its Gandhidham division. The slabs, the cap and the payment route are fixed nationally. Read the scheme rules yourself on pmsuryaghar.gov.in before you sign anything.

1

Register on the National Portal

You register at pmsuryaghar.gov.in using your PGVCL consumer number, mobile, Aadhaar and address. We sit with you while you do it. A consumer number that does not match PGVCL records is the commonest reason a Kachchh application stalls for weeks.

2

Apply for feasibility, then pick your vendor

PGVCL checks the application against your sanctioned load and the feeder serving your ward or sector. You then choose an empanelled vendor from the portal list. Heaven Green Energy is empanelled, so we map straight onto your application.

3

Install only after approval

Installation starts once feasibility clears, never before. Anything erected early puts the subsidy at risk. We supply Adani modules with traceable serial numbers and hand over a Bill of Materials and the full warranty schedule on the day.

4

Inspection and net meter

PGVCL inspects the installation and fits the bidirectional meter, which triggers the commissioning certificate on the portal. Our engineer attends the inspection so queries get settled on the roof instead of by letter a fortnight later.

5

Claim and credit

We file the claim the moment the certificate issues. The government credits the subsidy straight into your bank account. It never passes through us, so treat any Gandhidham vendor offering to collect it for you as a warning sign.

If you are a business, this section does not apply

PM Surya Ghar covers residential consumers only. A plywood unit at Mithirohar, a CHA office in Sector 8 or a godown near Kandla cannot claim it. Businesses claim accelerated depreciation on the asset instead, which for a taxpaying firm often returns more than the residential subsidy would.

PGVCL (Paschim Gujarat Vij)

Net metering: who you actually file with.

Net metering is where rival Gandhidham pages go wrong, and naming the wrong licensee costs you every export credit you were counting on.

Gandhidham is supplied by Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited (PGVCL), a GUVNL subsidiary incorporated in 2003 and headquartered at Paschim Gujarat Vij Seva Sadan, Laxminagar, Rajkot. It distributes across Saurashtra and Kachchh. Your file is handled by the PGVCL Gandhidham division on Rambaug Road, which reports to the PGVCL circle office at Anjar. Bhuj, the district headquarters, sits under a separate PGVCL circle, so an application posted to Bhuj does not reach your executive engineer any faster.

PGVCL is not Torrent Power, the private licensee in Ahmedabad and Surat city. It is not MGVCL in central Gujarat, DGVCL in the south or UGVCL in the north. Gujarat runs four state discoms plus one large private licensee. A page that tells you to file a Gandhidham application with Torrent has sent you to the wrong counter entirely.

The commercial rules come from the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC), not from PGVCL and not from us. Under the GERC rooftop framework your system is capped against your sanctioned load, and every consumer category may apply rather than residential alone. Units you export are credited against units you import. The meter counts both directions. You pay for the net difference.

1

Application and feasibility

We submit your net-metering application with the consumer number, sanctioned load and single-line diagram. PGVCL checks feeder capacity and returns feasibility, usually within a few working weeks. Your sanctioned load and your ward or sector determine which feeder the check runs against.

Filed by us
2

Technical approval

PGVCL approves the design against your sanctioned load. If your proposed array exceeds it, you either trim the array or apply for a load enhancement first. We flag this at survey.

3

Installation and testing

We install, earth and test the system, then submit the completion report with the inverter certificate and protection details. Nothing is energised until the paperwork is lodged.

Filed by us

Inspection and meter change

PGVCL inspects, replaces your meter with a bidirectional unit and commissions the system. Export credits start appearing on the next billing cycle.

Not a home?

Solar for Gandhidham's businesses.

Not a home? Gandhidham runs on trade sheds, sawmills and cold stores, and those roofs are the best solar assets in Kachchh.

Gandhidham exists because of the port. Timber importers and the plywood and sawmill units at Mithirohar GIDC and Galpadar all carry heavy daytime loads. So do the salt works along the creek and the warehousing and customs house agents around Sector 8 and Sector 9. The same holds for the export units inside the Kandla Special Economic Zone at Gandhidham 370230. Sawmills, presses, chillers and compressors draw hardest between ten and four, which is exactly when a rooftop array produces most. That overlap is why industrial payback here runs shorter than residential.

Businesses cannot claim PM Surya Ghar. They claim accelerated depreciation on the asset instead, and where capital is tied up in stock we can structure the project through zero down payment financing.

One practical note for the trade. Sawmill and plywood sheds carry dust loads that ordinary rooftops do not, and port-corridor roofs sit in salt air all year. Both shorten the interval between cleans and raise the specification of the structure. Budget for an annual maintenance contract from the start rather than discovering the need in year three.

Why us

Why Gandhidham customers choose Heaven Green Energy

We have been installing since 2017 and have crossed 10,000 installations. What buyers in Kachchh tell us they want is a straight quote and someone who answers the phone in year three.

Coastal-grade specification as standardWe quote hot-dip galvanised structure with stated coating thickness and corrosion-rated fasteners for Gandhidham roofs. It costs more than the cheapest quote you will see and it is the reason the array is still standing later.
Adani modules, Qbits invertersWe are an authorised channel partner of Adani and we manufacture Qbits inverters ourselves. Warranty claims go to companies that exist, not to a brand that disappears when the importer stops trading.
We run the PGVCL fileSubsidy registration, feasibility, technical approval, inspection and meter change are all handled by us with the Gandhidham division. You sign where required. You do not queue on Rambaug Road.
A written Bill of MaterialsEvery quote lists make, model, quantity and rating for each component, including the structure and cable. If a rival will not put that on paper, you are not comparing prices with them, only adjectives. We hand the same document to a homeowner in Adipur and to a 250 kW industrial buyer.

Where we are based

Heaven Green Energy is headquartered at Mota Varachha, Surat. We have one office and it is not in Gandhidham. We serve Gandhidham, Adipur and the wider Kachchh region through our channel partner network and field engineering team. They run the surveys, supervise installation and handle PGVCL coordination on the ground. We state this before you sign rather than after.

How we work

From first call to a spinning net meter.

Four steps from your first call to export credits appearing on your PGVCL bill.

01

Call and bill review

Send your last PGVCL bill. We read the units, not the amount, and give an indicative size and cost band before anyone travels to your roof.

Same day
02

Free site survey

An engineer measures usable shadow-free area, checks roof structure and wind exposure, and runs a shadow analysis. You get a written proposal with the full Bill of Materials.

2 to 4 days
03

Paperwork and approval

We register you on the national portal, file the PGVCL application and wait for feasibility and technical approval. Timelines depend on the division, not on us. We tell you where the file has reached rather than leaving you to guess.

3 to 6 weeks
04

Install, inspect, commission

Installation takes a few days. PGVCL then inspects, fits the bidirectional meter and commissions. We file the subsidy claim the same week the certificate issues.

2 to 4 days on site

What Gandhidham weather does to a solar system

Gandhidham sits about five metres above sea level on a hot semi-arid coast beside the Gulf of Kutch. Three things here decide whether a system lasts twenty-five years or six: salt, dust and heat.

Salt-laden air attacks the mounting structure, not the panels

You are a short drive from a working creek port and tidal salt pans. Airborne chloride corrodes thin galvanising, plain mild-steel bolts and unprotected earthing pits far faster than inland Gujarat. Modules are sealed and cope; the steel underneath them is what fails. Specify hot-dip galvanising with stated coating thickness, stainless fasteners and sealed junctions, then inspect them yearly. Ask any vendor what happens at the roof penetration, because that is where water and salt get in together.

Port and timber dust cuts output quietly

Bulk cargo handling, sawmill work and dry open ground between October and May put a steady film on glass. Rainfall here averages roughly 322 to 390 mm a year and almost none of it falls in those eight months, so nature will not clean your panels. Soiling losses build gradually and never announce themselves. Plan scheduled cleaning, not occasional cleaning. Sheds beside the timber yards need it more often than a house in Ward 9.

Heat trims voltage, and the monsoon is short

May averages a daily high near 38.8°C, and module output falls as cell temperature climbs. Mounting that leaves an air gap under the array and inverters sized with headroom matter more here than in a cooler city. The monsoon is brief and concentrated, with August the wettest month around 150 mm, so most of your annual generation comes from a long dry, bright season.

Questions

Solar in Gandhidham: every question answered.

17 questions Gandhidham buyers actually search for, including the ones competing pages leave out. Grouped so you can skip to what you need.

Cost & subsidy

What is the price of a solar panel system in Gandhidham in 2026?
Roughly ₹60,000 to ₹75,000 per kW installed before subsidy. A 3 kW system runs ₹1.80 lakh to ₹2.25 lakh, and a 5 kW system ₹2.85 lakh to ₹3.45 lakh. These are indicative market ranges for Gandhidham, not a Heaven Green quotation.
How much subsidy will I actually receive in Gandhidham?
Up to ₹78,000 under PM Surya Ghar: ₹30,000 for each of the first two kilowatts and ₹18,000 for the third. It is a central scheme, so the amount in Gandhidham matches Rajkot and Delhi exactly. Residential consumers only.
Why do two Gandhidham quotes for the same 5 kW differ by a lakh?
Almost always the mounting structure, earthing and cable, not the modules. On a salt-exposed coast a thin-galvanised structure with mild-steel bolts is far cheaper upfront and fails years earlier. Compare Bills of Materials line by line, including coating thickness. Ask for the coating thickness in microns; a vendor who cannot state it has not specified it.
Can I get rooftop solar in Gandhidham with no advance payment?
Yes. We run surveys and proposals free, and finance partners can structure the project with zero down payment and EMIs. The subsidy still lands in your own bank account after commissioning, which reduces the financed balance.

Net metering & DISCOM

Which electricity company supplies Gandhidham?
Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited, PGVCL, a GUVNL subsidiary based in Rajkot that supplies Saurashtra and Kachchh. Your file goes through the PGVCL Gandhidham division on Rambaug Road, which sits under the PGVCL circle office at Anjar.
How does PGVCL net metering work in Gandhidham?
PGVCL fits a bidirectional meter that counts import and export separately. Units you export are credited against units you import, and you pay the net difference. The framework comes from GERC, the state regulator, not from PGVCL itself.
How large a system can I install against my connection?
Under the GERC rooftop framework your capacity is capped against your sanctioned load. If your planned array exceeds it, apply for a load enhancement with PGVCL first. We check this at survey rather than after the panels arrive.
How long does PGVCL approval take in Gandhidham?
Feasibility and technical approval typically run three to six weeks, then inspection and meter change follow commissioning. The division office sets the pace. A mismatched consumer number is the most common cause of a longer wait. We chase the division office directly rather than telling you to ring them.

Sizing & performance

How many units will a solar system generate in Gandhidham?
About 4 to 4.5 units per kW per day as an annual average, on roughly 5.5 peak sun hours. A 3 kW array yields around 360 to 405 units a month and a 5 kW array 600 to 675 units, on a shadow-free roof.
What size system suits my Gandhidham electricity bill?
Size against units, not rupees. As a guide, bills up to ₹1,800 suit 2 kW, ₹2,000 to ₹3,500 suit 3 kW, ₹3,500 to ₹6,000 suit 5 kW and ₹6,000 to ₹13,000 suit 10 kW. Bring the bill to the survey.
How much roof area do I need?
About 200 sq ft for 2 kW, 300 sq ft for 3 kW and 500 sq ft for 5 kW, all shadow-free. A 10 kW array needs 700 to 1,000 sq ft. Overhead tanks and parapets reduce usable area more than people expect.
Does port and sawmill dust reduce my generation?
Yes, gradually. Gandhidham gets roughly 322 to 390 mm of rain a year, nearly all of it between June and September, so glass stays dusty through the long dry season. Scheduled cleaning recovers the loss. Unscheduled cleaning does not. We recommend a cleaning schedule matched to your location rather than a generic quarterly line.

Installation & service

How long does installation take in Gandhidham?
Two to four days on site for a residential system once approval is in hand. The whole process from first call to export credits usually runs six to ten weeks, and most of that is PGVCL paperwork rather than roof work.
What hardware suits a coastal Gandhidham roof?
Hot-dip galvanised structure with a stated coating thickness, corrosion-rated fasteners, sealed cable entries and a properly protected earthing pit. Modules cope with salt air; the steel and the hardware under them are what corrode first near the creek. We specify this by default on every Kachchh coastal quote, which is why our floor price is not the lowest you will see.
Do you service Adipur and the villages around Gandhidham?
Yes. We survey and install across Adipur, the Kandla port corridor, KASEZ, Mithirohar, Galpadar and the surrounding villages, and neighbouring Anjar. Our engineers travel to site; there is no local counter to visit.
