Heaven Green Energy plans and installs rooftop solar for homes, tile works, dairy societies and farmhouses in Himatnagar and across Sabarkantha district. We size each system from your own meter readings, lodge the PM Surya Ghar claim, and take the net-metering file through Uttar Gujarat Vij Company Limited. Its Himatnagar Circle runs supply for the district from this town.
Share a recent UGVCL bill and tell us about the roof: RCC terrace, metal shed or farmhouse slab. We reply with a size, a generation figure for Sabarkantha sun, the subsidy arithmetic and the documents UGVCL will want. There is no charge.

The short answer
A 3 kW rooftop system in Himatnagar typically costs ₹1,80,000 to ₹2,25,000 installed and a 5 kW system ₹2,85,000 to ₹3,45,000. Both figures come before the PM Surya Ghar subsidy of up to ₹78,000 returns to your bank. Expect 4 to 4.5 units per kW a day. Net metering is with UGVCL through its Himatnagar Circle, and 5 kW pays back in 4–5 years.

Start from your UGVCL bill. Locate its band in the bill column. The same row shows the system size that bill normally justifies and its installed market range before subsidy. It also gives the monthly units a Himatnagar roof should deliver and how much clear roof you need.
| Your monthly bill | System | Generates | Roof needed | Cost after subsidy | Payback |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹1,800 | 2 kW A compact house inside the old walled town near Tower Chowk or Durga Bazar, where terrace space is tight | 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 in Mehtapura or Motipura that wants the full ₹78,000 and has one AC | 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 Mahavirnagar or Polo Ground bungalow running two or three ACs from April to June | 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 joint family, or a farmhouse near Ilol, Gambhoi or Vaktapur on its own residential connection | 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+ A tile showroom on NH-48, a nursing home on Civil Road, or a unit shed in GIDC Motipura | 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 market ranges for Himatnagar in 2026, not a Heaven Green Energy quotation. The figure you receive after survey depends on the roof: an RCC slab, a sheet roof or a farmhouse terrace. It also depends on how tall the structure must stand, the cable distance to the meter, the exact hardware and any slab repair. Subsidy amounts follow the central PM Surya Ghar slabs at pmsuryaghar.gov.in and apply only to residential connections. 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%.
Read the subsidy column before you choose a size. The scheme pays ₹30,000 a kilowatt for the first two kilowatts and ₹18,000 for the third, so it tops out at ₹78,000 on a 3 kW system. Everything above 3 kW is your money alone. A 5 kW array is right for a Mahavirnagar bungalow with three ACs; it is a poor buy for a two-person household whose bill sits under ₹3,500.
Treat a quote far below these bands with suspicion. The saving nearly always comes out of the structure: lighter sections, thin galvanising, short legs bolted to a weak parapet. Himatnagar roofs face a dry, dusty spring and then a monsoon that drops most of the year's rain inside about three months. Cheap steel rusts at the base plates by the third season and the array starts to lean.
Also ask what the price assumes about cable runs. Older homes inside the fort-wall area often have the meter at street level and the usable roof two floors up, behind a staircase cabin. A longer DC or AC run adds cost, and an honest survey prices it before you sign rather than after.
You will not find a promised rupee saving on this page. What you save depends on your UGVCL tariff category, sanctioned load and fixed charges. It also depends on how much of the solar output your household uses in daylight rather than sending to the grid. A family in Motipura that is out at work all day saves differently from a retired couple in Polo Ground running fans and a fridge at home. Bring two recent bills to the survey and we work the figure from your own units. 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.
PM Surya Ghar returns up to ₹78,000 to a household that installs rooftop solar through a vendor registered on the national portal and gets it commissioned on net metering. It arrives in your bank account after commissioning. It is never a discount printed on the invoice.
Register at pmsuryaghar.gov.in with the UGVCL consumer number printed on your bill. Type your name and address as the bill shows them, letter for letter, because the portal cross-checks against UGVCL's records and a mismatch stalls the file.
Apply with the capacity you want. UGVCL checks it against your sanctioned load and confirms the transformer feeding your lane can take the export. A Himatnagar Town or Mehtapura connection normally clears this in about two weeks.
The claim only counts if a registered vendor does the work. We upload the module and inverter details, the structure photographs and the commissioning record against your application number, so nothing waits on you.
UGVCL fits the bidirectional meter and the installation is inspected. Only after both does the portal issue the commissioning certificate, and no money moves until that certificate exists.
Enter your account number and upload a cancelled cheque. The ministry transfers the amount directly. Gujarat claims we file usually settle 30 to 45 days after the commissioning certificate is generated.
Tile works, milk cooperatives, shops, clinics and GIDC units are outside PM Surya Ghar. A commercial connection claims accelerated depreciation on the asset instead, and for a profitable tile or trading business in Himatnagar that write-off can outweigh the residential subsidy. Ask your chartered accountant to model it before deciding.
Net metering lets the units your roof exports in the afternoon offset the units you draw at night. Without the bidirectional meter, surplus goes to the grid unpaid.
Himatnagar is supplied by Uttar Gujarat Vij Company Limited, UGVCL, the GUVNL distribution company for north Gujarat. The town is also the seat of one of UGVCL's four circles: the Himatnagar Circle, which sits alongside the Mehsana, Sabarmati and Palanpur circles. UGVCL's own Himatnagar Circle tender notices list a Himatnagar Division with Himatnagar Town, Himatnagar Rural, Mehtapura and Gambhoi sub-divisions under it. Which of those holds your file depends on your connection, and your bill names it.
Get the licensee right before anything is filed. Torrent Power distributes in Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar and Surat city, not in Sabarkantha. DGVCL covers south Gujarat, MGVCL central Gujarat and PGVCL Saurashtra and Kutch. A Himatnagar quotation that names any of them was written for another town, and an application lodged with the wrong company simply sits there.
The rules come from the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission. Rooftop capacity is limited to your sanctioned load, residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural consumers can all apply, and exported units are set against imported units in each billing cycle. How any leftover credit is settled follows the GERC order in force on your commissioning date.
We submit the application with your consumer number, sanctioned load and proposed capacity. We then follow the feasibility through the sub-division printed on your bill, whether that is Himatnagar Town, Himatnagar Rural, Mehtapura or Gambhoi.
Filed by usAfter installation we lodge the test report with serial numbers for every module and the inverter, the earthing details and a single-line diagram. Incomplete documents are the usual reason a meter date slips.
Filed by usUGVCL fits and seals the bidirectional meter and the installation is inspected. Our engineer is present for both, so a question about protection or earthing is answered on the spot instead of becoming a second visit.
UGVCLWe complete the net-metering agreement. Your next UGVCL bill should list imported, exported and net units on separate lines. Check it carefully and send it to us if the export line is missing.

Himatnagar's business load is daytime-heavy. Tile finishing lines, milk chilling, hospitals, showrooms and the units in GIDC Motipura all draw hardest while the sun is up, when a rooftop array produces.
The town's industry is unusually concentrated. Ceramic and vitrified tile plants line the Sabar Dairy to Talod road around Gadhoda and Hajipur, with more on NH-48 and at Berna. Sabarkantha's district industrial profile lists ceramic tiles among the district's main exports. Sabar Dairy, the Sabarkantha district milk cooperative, runs its plant at Boria on the town's southern edge, and village milk societies across the taluka run bulk coolers twice a day. The GIDC estate at Motipura is fully allotted, with its units working ordinary day shifts.
Not every one of those loads suits solar equally. A tile kiln fires round the clock on gas, so rooftop solar offsets the electric load around it, chiefly the presses, glazing and polishing lines, rather than the kiln itself. A hospital or showroom on Civil Road or NH-48 is a cleaner fit: its air-conditioning peaks in the afternoon, exactly when generation does. Commercial consumers fall outside PM Surya Ghar; read accelerated depreciation on solar for the tax route and zero down payment solar if you want to keep working capital free.
Farm pumping is a separate question. Gujarat runs agricultural pumps on separate farm feeders under Jyotigram Yojana. Open wells irrigate about half of Sabarkantha's irrigated land, according to the district contingency plan, so pump loads matter here. PM Surya Ghar does not cover them. Farmers should read PM-KUSUM and solar pumps and our KUSUM guide for Gujarat, which explain the scheme that does.
We have installed since 2017 and passed 10,000 installations across Gujarat. That record is why our UGVCL files move, why our hardware prices stay where we quoted them, and why a warranty claim comes back to a company still trading.
Heaven Green Energy has one office, at Mota Varachha in Surat. There is no Himatnagar branch, address or local phone number, and we tell you that at the start. We serve Himatnagar and the rest of North Gujarat through our channel partner network and field engineering team. They carry out the surveys, supervise installation and deal with UGVCL on the ground.

3–7 weeksHimatnagar has a long dry season and a short, concentrated monsoon. Sabarkantha's district contingency plan puts normal rainfall at about 807 mm over roughly 35 rainy days, arriving in the last week of June and largely over by mid-September. Long-run averages put May afternoons around 40°C. Three things follow for your system.
From October to June there is little rain to rinse the modules. Dust lifts off the goradu sandy loam and black-soil fields around the town after each harvest, and traffic on NH-48 adds more. Roofs near the tile plants on the Talod road pick up fine mineral dust as well. Plan a wash every three to four weeks in the dry season, with soft water if your borewell water is hard.
Modules lose output as they heat, and a 40°C afternoon pushes cell temperatures well past that. We raise the array on its structure so air moves underneath, and we keep the inverter in shade on a north or east wall. An inverter hung in direct western sun on a Motipura terrace will cut back its own output by mid-afternoon.
Because most of the year's rain falls inside about eleven weeks, July and August generation drops on overcast days and then recovers fast in September. The bigger test is the squall line ahead of the monsoon in June. Anchor bolts into the slab, not loose ballast, and a wind-rated structure keep the array in place. The Hathmati catchment's heavy spells are also a reason to check roof drainage before the frame goes up.
