Solar panel installation in Gandhinagar.

Heaven Green Energy is an authorised channel partner of Adani and a PM Surya Ghar empanelled vendor. For a Gandhinagar home, we read your bill and check whether your address sits with Torrent Power or UGVCL. Then we size the system, install it, file the net-metering application with the correct licensee and claim your ₹78,000 subsidy.

The short answer

Rooftop solar in Gandhinagar costs about ₹1.80 lakh to ₹2.25 lakh for 3 kW and ₹2.85 lakh to ₹3.45 lakh for 5 kW before subsidy. The ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar subsidy cuts the 3 kW figure to roughly ₹1.02 lakh. Each kW makes 4 to 4.5 units daily. Torrent Power handles city net metering, UGVCL the district. Payback runs three and a half to five years.

Price, size and savings

Find your bill. Read across.

Most Gandhinagar solar pages quote a per-kW number with no system attached to it, which tells you nothing. This table does the job properly. Find your monthly bill in the left column, then read across for the size that matches, what it generates here, the roof it needs and the cost after subsidy.

These are indicative Gandhinagar market ranges for 2026, covering Tier-1 modules, a branded inverter, a galvanised structure, protection gear and installation. They are not a Heaven Green Energy quotation and no price is confirmed until a survey is done. Subsidy amounts are the central PM Surya Ghar figures published on pmsuryaghar.gov.in. Generation assumes a shadow-free, roughly south-facing roof.

Size against units, not rupees. Your bill prints both, and only the units figure is stable. Take twelve months of readings, work out the monthly average, then pick the system that covers it. Rupee totals move with slab rates and fuel charges, so a system sized off the amount is a system sized off a moving target. The roof column says shadow-free for a reason. A water tank, a lift room or a neighbour's parapet stealing two hours of morning sun costs more output than any brochure admits.

The 3 kW cliff decides most Gandhinagar orders. PM Surya Ghar pays ₹30,000 for each of the first two kilowatts and ₹18,000 for the third. Above that it pays nothing. So the subsidy covers 35 to 43% of a 3 kW system and only 12 to 15% of a 10 kW one. If your average sits between 350 and 450 units, 3 kW returns more rupees per rupee spent than anything larger.

A cheap Gandhinagar quote is cheap in the steel, not the glass. The sector-grid bungalows and the row houses in Kudasan and Randesan all take the same open, unsheltered wind exposure. The first thing a bottom-of-market quote thins is galvanising thickness and fastener grade. Cable gauge, earthing and surge protection go next. Ask for a written Bill of Materials listing make, model and quantity against every line. Without one you are comparing two numbers, not two systems.

Why there is no rupee saving in that table

You will notice the table carries no rupee saving. That is deliberate. Your saving depends on the slab rate you personally pay and on whether you are billed by Torrent Power or UGVCL, whose tariff schedules are not identical. Guessing it here would be dishonest. Bring your last bill to the free survey and we will work the exact figure out with you, in front of you, on your own numbers. Prefer to work it out yourself first? Put your bill into our solar savings calculator. No phone number required.

  • Nothing paid above 3 kW

How the subsidy works

Five steps, and we run four of them.

PM Surya Ghar is a central scheme, so no city has its own larger slab. Anyone advertising a special Gandhinagar subsidy is describing something that does not exist. What changes locally is which utility processes your file, and here that depends on which side of the city boundary you live on.

1

Register on the National Portal

You register at pmsuryaghar.gov.in using your consumer number, mobile, Aadhaar and address. The consumer number must match your utility's records exactly. In Gandhinagar that means a Torrent Power number inside the city licence area and a UGVCL number outside it. Mixing the two stalls the file. We sit with you for this step.

2

Feasibility, then vendor selection

The licensee checks your application against your sanctioned load before anything is bought. You then pick a vendor empanelled on the portal. Heaven Green Energy is empanelled, so we map straight onto your application rather than asking you to re-register under someone else's name later.

3

Install only after approval

Work starts once feasibility clears, never before. We supply Adani modules with traceable serial numbers and a galvanised structure designed for the open wind exposure of the sector grid. On the day of commissioning, we hand you a Bill of Materials and warranty schedule.

4

Inspection and net meter

Your licensee inspects the installation, checks earthing, isolation and protection, then fits the bidirectional meter and issues the commissioning certificate on the portal. Our engineer attends the inspection so anything queried is answered on the spot instead of by email a week later.

5

Claim and credit

We file the subsidy claim once the certificate issues, and the government credits the money directly to your bank account. It never passes through us. Treat any Gandhinagar vendor who offers to collect the subsidy on your behalf, or to deduct it from the invoice, as a warning you should act on.

If you are a business, this section does not apply

PM Surya Ghar covers residential consumers only. A shop in Sector 21, a clinic in Kudasan or an office at Infocity cannot claim it. Businesses claim accelerated depreciation on the asset instead, which for a taxpaying entity often returns more than the residential subsidy would have paid.

Torrent Power in the city, UGVCL outside it

Net metering: who you actually file with.

Gandhinagar is the city where rival solar pages most often name the wrong utility, and that single error costs you every export credit you were counting on.

Gandhinagar has a split distribution map. Torrent Power Limited holds the distribution licence for Gandhinagar city itself, the sector grid and the built-up area around it, under the same private licence that covers Ahmedabad. Step outside the city licence boundary and you are with Uttar Gujarat Vij Company Limited (UGVCL). It is the state-owned North Gujarat discom, headquartered at Mehsana and part of the GUVNL group. UGVCL runs the Gandhinagar and Kalol divisions and supplies Kalol, Dehgam and Mansa talukas along with the villages between them.

This matters in a practical way. Torrent Power publishes its own GERC-approved tariff schedule; UGVCL bills on the GUVNL schedule shared with DGVCL, MGVCL and PGVCL. The two are not the same, the application portals are not the same, and a file lodged with the wrong one does not get forwarded. The header on your electricity bill settles it in five seconds, and we check it before quoting.

Commercial terms for both come from the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC), not from the licensee and not from us. Under the GERC framework your system is capped against your sanctioned load, and every consumer category may apply. Surplus units you export are credited against what you draw at night and through the monsoon.

1

Application

Consumer details, sanctioned load, system rating, single-line diagram and equipment datasheets go to Torrent Power or UGVCL, whichever holds your connection. We confirm that from your bill first.

2

Technical feasibility

The licensee tests whether your sanctioned load and the local transformer carry the proposed capacity. Oversized systems are rejected here, which is why we size against sanctioned load on the first visit.

Installation and inspection

We install. The licensee then inspects earthing, protection, isolation and metering compliance before anything is energised against the grid.

Bidirectional meter

Your existing meter is swapped for a bidirectional net meter and the commissioning certificate issues. Export credits begin from that date, not from the day the panels went up.

Solar for Gandhinagar's businesses.

Running an office, a factory or an institute rather than a home? The arithmetic is different and this page is written for homeowners.

Commercial and industrial consumers around Gandhinagar get no PM Surya Ghar subsidy. They claim accelerated depreciation on the asset instead, which for a taxpaying business frequently returns more than the residential subsidy would. They can also avoid capital outlay altogether through OPEX or RESCO structures where you pay only for the units generated.

We deliver turnkey C&I EPC across the district. That covers the GIDC estates at Chhatral, Santej and Kalol and the pharmaceutical and engineering units along the Khatraj and Jethlaj belt. It also covers the IT floors at Infocity and Kudasan, the commercial towers at GIFT City, and the institutional campuses and government buildings inside the sector grid. Structural design runs to wind-load standards, licensee registration is handled by us, and long-term O&M is contracted rather than promised verbally.

Why us

Why Gandhinagar customers choose Heaven Green Energy

We have built solar since 2017 and delivered more than 10,000 installations across India, from single rooftops to industrial plants running into hundreds of kilowatts.

Authorised Adani Solar distributorGenuine Adani modules with traceable serial numbers and the full manufacturer warranty behind them. No grey-market stock, and no house brand that has disappeared by year eight when you finally need a claim honoured.
We build our own invertersQbits is our in-house inverter brand. The inverter is the component most likely to need service in a system's life. Because we make it as well as install it, the service call runs through us rather than an importer's ticket queue.
We get the licensee rightPortal registration, vendor mapping, feasibility and net metering are our job, and in Gandhinagar that begins with reading your bill header and filing with Torrent Power or UGVCL correctly. You sign the forms and attend the survey. That is the whole of your workload.
Nothing to pay for the surveyThe survey and the written proposal cost nothing and commit you to nothing. You keep the Bill of Materials, the generation estimate and the payback figure, and you are welcome to price all three against any rival in the city.

Where we are based

Heaven Green Energy is headquartered at Mota Varachha, Surat. We do not run a Gandhinagar branch or a local number, and we would rather say that before you sign than after. We serve Gandhinagar and the wider North Gujarat region through our channel partner network and field engineering team. They run the surveys, supervise installation and handle Torrent Power and UGVCL coordination on the ground.

How we work

From first call to a spinning net meter.

Four steps to a spinning net meter, including the parts that belong to your licensee rather than to us.

01

Free site survey

We measure shadow-free area, check the roof slab and parapet, and read your sanctioned load and twelve months of consumption. We also confirm from the bill whether you sit with Torrent Power or UGVCL, and log shading from tanks and stair rooms.

Day 1–2
02

Written proposal

System size, layout drawing, Bill of Materials with makes and models, generation estimate at Gandhinagar irradiance, your subsidy figure and payback. No obligation attaches to any of it.

Day 3–5
03

Applications and installation

We file on the national portal and with your licensee, then install once feasibility clears. A typical residential sector-grid roof takes two to four days on site.

Day 5–15
04

Inspection, meter, subsidy

Torrent Power or UGVCL inspects and fits the bidirectional meter, the commissioning certificate issues, and we file your claim. The government pays the subsidy into your bank account.

What Gandhinagar weather does to a solar system

Gandhinagar sits in a hot semi-arid belt with a fierce dry season and a short, heavy monsoon. Two conditions dominate the engineering here, and a vendor who ignores them quotes you less and delivers less every year for twenty-five years.

Dust and soiling in the dry season

March and April are the driest months of the Gandhinagar year, with relative humidity down around a quarter. The dust that settles on module glass then does not wash off by itself. Soiling is the most underrated cause of weak output in this city because it is invisible from the ground. Add the road and construction dust along the Kudasan, Sargasan and GIFT corridor and a panel can lose a tenth of its output quietly. Gandhinagar roofs want cleaning every two to three weeks from March to June. Our AMC covers it.

Monsoon load and mounting

The southwest monsoon runs from mid-June to mid-September and drops most of the city's annual rainfall in that window, with July the heaviest month by a wide margin. Two things follow. First, generation dips for roughly eight weeks, which is what your banked summer export credits exist to cover. Second, the structure has to survive squall-line gusts on an open, unsheltered plateau. Galvanising thickness, foundation detail and fastener grade are what keep an array on a sector-grid terrace, and they are the first items a cut-price quote thins.

Summer heat derating

May averages a daily maximum above 42°C here and has recorded far worse. Module output falls as cell temperature rises, so the fix is airflow: genuine clearance between module and roof slab so heat can escape underneath. A structure bolted flush to the terrace saves a vendor steel and costs you units every single summer. Ask what clearance the design gives and get the answer in millimetres, not adjectives.

Questions

Solar in Gandhinagar: every question answered.

17 questions Gandhinagar 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 cost of solar panel installation in Gandhinagar in 2026?
A 3 kW system runs about ₹1.80 lakh to ₹2.25 lakh installed before subsidy, 5 kW ₹2.85 lakh to ₹3.45 lakh, and 10 kW ₹5.20 lakh to ₹6.30 lakh. The spread inside each band comes from structure quality, protection specification and roof access, not from the panel brand on the box.
What is the price of a 3 kW solar system in Gandhinagar with subsidy?
Roughly ₹1.02 lakh to ₹1.47 lakh net, being ₹1.80 lakh to ₹2.25 lakh less the ₹78,000 subsidy. A 3 kW system generates 360 to 405 units a month in Gandhinagar, which covers a household averaging 300 to 400 units. It is the smallest size that still earns the full subsidy.
How much solar subsidy do I get in Gandhinagar?
Up to ₹78,000. Per pmsuryaghar.gov.in, PM Surya Ghar pays ₹30,000 per kW for the first two kilowatts and ₹18,000 for the third, and nothing above that. So 1 kW earns ₹30,000, 2 kW earns ₹60,000, and anything from 3 kW upward earns ₹78,000. It is credited straight to your bank account.
Can I buy rooftop solar on EMI in Gandhinagar?
Yes. Residential rooftop solar sits under priority-sector lending, so several banks and NBFCs fund it. Most households finance the pre-subsidy amount and then prepay principal when the subsidy lands. We can introduce financing partners, though comparing their terms against your own bank before signing is the smarter move.

Net metering & DISCOM

Which DISCOM serves Gandhinagar for rooftop solar?
It depends on your address. Torrent Power Limited holds the distribution licence for Gandhinagar city, including the sector grid. Outside the city licence area, UGVCL, Uttar Gujarat Vij Company Limited of Mehsana, supplies Kalol, Dehgam, Mansa and the surrounding villages. Your electricity bill header names the correct one.
What is the difference between Torrent Power and UGVCL for solar in Gandhinagar?
Torrent Power is a private licensee with its own GERC-approved tariff schedule and its own application portal. UGVCL is a state-owned GUVNL company billing on the shared state schedule used by DGVCL, MGVCL and PGVCL. The net-metering framework is common, set by GERC, but applications do not transfer between them.
Is net metering available in Gandhinagar and what happens to my surplus units?
Yes, under the GERC framework, with both licensees. Your home consumes solar first during the day and exports the surplus as credit against units drawn at night and through the monsoon. The system is capped against your sanctioned load, and all consumer categories are eligible to apply.
Do I need approval before installing solar in Gandhinagar?
Yes, for any grid-connected system, which is almost everyone. The order is application, feasibility approval, installation, then inspection and meter swap. Installing first is how roofs end up generating with no export credit at all, and how oversized systems get rejected after the money is spent.

Sizing & performance

How many units does 1 kW of solar generate per day in Gandhinagar?
About 4 to 4.5 units daily, averaged over the year. Gandhinagar gets roughly 5.5 peak sun hours, which puts it near the top of the Indian range. Output beats that average from February to May and falls below it during the July to September monsoon.
What size solar system does a 2 BHK or 3 BHK home in Gandhinagar need?
A 2 BHK typically needs 2 to 3 kW and a 3 BHK 3 to 5 kW, but size against consumption rather than floor plan. Take the units from twelve months of bills, find your average month, and pick the system that covers it. A bungalow with three ACs needs more than the floor plan suggests.
How many ACs can a 3 kW or 5 kW system run in Gandhinagar?
A 1.5-ton split AC draws 1.2 to 1.5 units per hour while the compressor runs. A 3 kW system making 12 to 13.5 units a day supports one AC by day plus normal household load. Two ACs through a Gandhinagar May needs 5 kW. At night you draw from the grid against banked credits.
How much roof area do I need for solar in Gandhinagar?
About 300 sq ft of shadow-free area for 3 kW and about 500 sq ft for 5 kW, with 10 kW needing 700 to 1,000 sq ft. Sector-grid plots are unusually regular, which helps layout, but tanks, stair rooms and parapets still shade real roofs. Shadow-free is the operative word.

Installation & service

How long does a rooftop solar installation take in Gandhinagar?
Two to four days on the roof for a typical home. The full timeline from survey to a working net meter runs several weeks, because feasibility approval, post-installation inspection and the meter swap belong to Torrent Power or UGVCL. Anyone guaranteeing a net meter in a week is guaranteeing something they do not control.
How often should panels be cleaned in Gandhinagar?
Every two to three weeks from March to June, when humidity bottoms out and dry-season dust settles hardest. Monsoon rain does some of the work from July, though it also leaves streaks that need a wipe. Our AMC covers scheduled cleaning, inverter checks and generation review.
What maintenance does a rooftop solar system actually need?
Cleaning, an annual check of connections, earthing and mounting hardware, and monitoring of output against the estimate. There are no moving parts. The inverter is the component most likely to need attention in twenty-five years, which is why we make our own rather than depend on an importer.
