The short answer

Rooftop solar in Rajkot costs roughly ₹52,000 to ₹70,000 per kW installed before subsidy. A 3 kW system runs about ₹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 generates 4 to 4.5 units daily on Saurashtra irradiance. PGVCL handles net metering. Payback lands between three and a half and five years.

Price, size and savings

Find your bill. Read across.

Most Rajkot solar pages hide the price behind a callback form or quote a national average that ignores Saurashtra installer density. One table settles it. Find your monthly bill on the left and read across for system size, generation, roof area needed and the cost after subsidy.

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

Size against units, not rupees. Read the units figure off your last PGVCL bill rather than the amount, because units are what a system cancels and the tariff is not yours to control. Shadow-free is the operative phrase in the roof column. On a Bhaktinagar or Rajputpara terrace, a water tank or a neighbour's parapet stealing two hours of morning sun costs more output than most buyers expect, and an elevated structure earns its extra steel. Measure the usable area on site before you agree a size, not from a satellite image.

The 3 kW cliff is real. PM Surya Ghar pays ₹30,000 per kW for the first two kilowatts and ₹18,000 for the third, then nothing. So the subsidy covers 35 to 43% of a 3 kW system but only 12 to 15% of a 10 kW one. If your bill sits on the border, 3 kW wins on rupees returned per rupee spent.

A cheap Rajkot quote is cheap in the structure, not the panels. This is a city that makes castings and machine tools, so ask the question you would ask a supplier: galvanising thickness, section size, fastener grade, cable gauge, earthing and surge protection. Those items separate the bottom of each band from the top, and they decide whether the array survives a June squall off the Arabian Sea. Demand a written Bill of Materials with make, model and quantity.

One warning specific to this city. Rajkot has a dense local fabrication trade, so some quotes arrive with a locally welded mild-steel structure and a thin coat of paint instead of a hot-dip galvanised one. It looks identical on day one and costs twenty to thirty thousand rupees less. Three monsoons later the joints are rusting and the array is carrying corrosion into its own mounting rails, which no module warranty covers. Ask which it is, in writing, and ask for the coating specification. The same applies to the earthing pit: one strip pushed into dry Saurashtra soil is not an earthing system.

Why there is no rupee saving in that table

There is no rupee saving in that table on purpose. The rupee figure depends on the PGVCL slab rate you personally pay, which is printed on your own bill and differs between consumers and categories. Guessing it would be dishonest. Bring your last bill to the free survey and we work the exact number out with you, in front of you. Two neighbours in Mavdi with identical roofs and identical systems can save different amounts simply because one draws more units in the top slab. That is a billing fact, not a sales variable. 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.

PM Surya Ghar is a central scheme, so nobody in Rajkot can offer you a bigger subsidy than anybody else. The amount is national and capped at ₹78,000. What changes by city is which licensee processes the file, and here that is PGVCL.

1

Register on the National Portal

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

2

Apply for feasibility, then pick your vendor

PGVCL checks the application against your sanctioned load and the local distribution transformer. You then select an empanelled vendor. Heaven Green Energy is empanelled, so we map straight onto your application without a second registration.

3

Install only after approval

Work starts once feasibility clears, never before. We supply Adani modules with traceable serial numbers and hand you a Bill of Materials plus the warranty schedule on the day of commissioning.

4

Inspection and net meter

PGVCL inspects the installation, then fits the bidirectional meter and raises the commissioning certificate on the portal. Our engineer attends the inspection so queries are answered on the spot rather than by letter.

5

Claim and credit

We file the subsidy claim once the certificate issues. Government credits the money directly to your bank account. It never passes through us, so treat any Rajkot vendor offering to collect the subsidy for you as a warning sign.

If you are a business, this section does not apply

PM Surya Ghar covers residential consumers only. A Rajkot workshop, foundry or showroom on a commercial or industrial PGVCL connection cannot claim it. Those buyers claim accelerated depreciation on the asset instead, which for a taxpaying firm often returns more than the residential subsidy would have paid.

PGVCL (Paschim Gujarat Vij)

Net metering: who you actually file with.

Net metering is where competing Rajkot pages get careless, and naming the wrong licensee costs you every export credit you were counting on. Here is the correct one, and the three it is often confused with.

Rajkot is supplied by Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited (PGVCL), the GUVNL subsidiary for Saurashtra and Kachchh. Its corporate office sits in Rajkot on Nana Mava Main Road, and its licence area covers twelve districts including Rajkot, Morbi, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Porbandar, Bhavnagar, Amreli, Botad, Surendranagar, Devbhumi Dwarka, Gir Somnath and Kachchh.

Gujarat has four state distribution companies plus a private licensee, and they are not interchangeable. DGVCL serves south Gujarat around Surat, MGVCL central Gujarat around Vadodara, UGVCL the north, and Torrent Power holds separate licence areas in parts of Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar and Surat city. A Rajkot application filed anywhere except PGVCL goes nowhere.

The commercial terms come from the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC), not from the licensee and not from us. Under the GERC framework your rooftop system is capped against your sanctioned load, every consumer category may apply, and surplus units you export are credited against units drawn at night and through the monsoon.

1

Application

Consumer details, sanctioned load, system rating, single-line diagram and equipment datasheets go to the PGVCL sub-division holding your connection.

Filed by us
2

Technical feasibility

PGVCL tests whether your sanctioned load and the feeding distribution transformer carry the proposed capacity. Oversized systems are rejected here, which is why we size against sanctioned load on visit one.

PGVCL
3

Installation and inspection

We install and commission. PGVCL then inspects earthing, protection, isolation and metering compliance before anything is energised for export.

Us, then PGVCL

Bidirectional meter

Your existing meter is replaced with a bidirectional net meter and the commissioning certificate issues. Export credits begin accruing from that date, not from installation day.

Not a home?

Solar for Rajkot's businesses.

Running a foundry, machine shop or showroom rather than a home? The economics are different and this page is written for homeowners.

Rajkot is an engineering city: grey-iron and investment casting, forging, bearings, diesel engines, submersible pumps and machine tools, concentrated in Aji GIDC, Metoda (Lodhika) GIDC, Shapar-Veraval, Kothariya, Atika and Kuvadva. Those units run on commercial and HT industrial PGVCL tariffs, draw hard through the day shift, and get no PM Surya Ghar subsidy. They claim accelerated depreciation on the asset instead, and can avoid capital outlay entirely through OPEX or RESCO models.

  • Day-shift load profile matches solar generation almost hour for hour, so self-consumption is high and export dependence is low.
  • Shed roofs carry large spans, which suits high-capacity arrays but demands proper wind-load design on a Saurashtra site.

We deliver turnkey commercial and industrial EPC across the Rajkot belt, including structural design to wind-load standards, PGVCL registration and long-term O&M. Foundry and forging sheds need an extra conversation about roof condition and hot flue discharge before any array is specified, because soiling on a shed next to a cupola behaves nothing like soiling on a house terrace. We survey for that rather than assume it.

Why us

Why Rajkot 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 in the hundreds of kilowatts.

Authorised Adani Solar distributorGenuine Adani modules with traceable serial numbers and the full manufacturer warranty. No grey-market stock, and no unheard-of brand that has dissolved by year eight when a claim actually matters.
We build our own invertersQbits is our in-house inverter brand. Service on the component most likely to need it runs through us rather than through an importer with a Mumbai office and a queue.
The paperwork is our jobPortal registration, vendor mapping, PGVCL feasibility, net metering, inspection and the subsidy claim all sit with our team. You sign the forms and turn up for the survey.
Nothing to pay for the surveyThe survey and written proposal cost nothing and commit you to nothing. You keep the Bill of Materials, generation estimate and payback figure, and you are free to price them against any Rajkot rival.

Where we are based

Heaven Green Energy is headquartered at Mota Varachha, Surat. We serve Rajkot and the wider Saurashtra region through our channel partner network and field engineering team, who run the surveys, supervise installation and handle PGVCL coordination on the ground. There is no Heaven Green branch office in Rajkot, and we say so before you sign rather than after.

How we work

From first call to a spinning net meter.

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

01

Free site survey

We measure shadow-free area, check the slab and parapet, read your sanctioned load and twelve months of PGVCL consumption, and log shading from tanks, lift rooms and neighbouring buildings.

Day 1–2
02

Written proposal

System size, layout, Bill of Materials with makes and models, generation estimated at Rajkot irradiance, your subsidy and your payback. No obligation attached.

Day 3–5
03

Applications and installation

We file on the national portal and with PGVCL, then install once feasibility clears. A typical Rajkot residential roof takes two to four days on site, weather permitting, and we avoid slab work during heavy monsoon spells.

Day 5–15
04

Inspection, meter, subsidy

PGVCL inspects and fits the bidirectional meter, the commissioning certificate issues, and we file your claim. Government pays the subsidy into your account.

What Rajkot weather does to a solar system

A system specified for a wet Konkan roof is wrong for Rajkot. This is a hot semi-arid city with a long dry season and a short, heavy monsoon. Two local conditions change the engineering, and a third changes the maintenance bill.

Dry-season dust and soiling

Rajkot spends eight months of the year dry, with relative humidity bottoming near 35% in March and the surrounding Saurashtra plain bare. Dust settles on module glass and cuts output with no visible fault and no alarm. Rajkot roofs want cleaning every two to three weeks from February to June. Our AMC covers it.

Summer heat derating

May averages a daily maximum around 41°C at Rajkot, and the city has recorded close to 48°C. Module output falls as cell temperature rises, so airflow is the fix: genuine clearance between module and roof slab. A structure bolted flat to the terrace to save steel quietly costs you generation every summer for twenty-five years.

A short, violent monsoon

Rajkot averages roughly 550 to 600 mm of rain, nearly all of it between mid-June and September, and July alone can bring over 200 mm. Saurashtra also sits in the Arabian Sea cyclone track. Fastener grade, foundation design and galvanising decide whether an array stays on the roof. Earthing and surge protection guard the inverter.

Questions

Solar in Rajkot: every question answered.

17 questions Rajkot 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 Rajkot in 2026?
Roughly ₹52,000 to ₹70,000 per kW installed before subsidy. That puts 3 kW at ₹1.80 to ₹2.25 lakh, 5 kW at ₹2.85 to ₹3.45 lakh and 10 kW at ₹5.20 to ₹6.30 lakh. Structure quality, protection specification and roof height drive the spread, not the panel brand.
What is the price of a 3 kW solar system in Rajkot with subsidy?
About ₹1.02 lakh to ₹1.47 lakh net, from ₹1.80 to ₹2.25 lakh less the ₹78,000 subsidy. A 3 kW system generates 360 to 405 units a month in Rajkot, which covers a household using 300 to 400 units. It is the smallest size earning the maximum subsidy.
How much solar subsidy do I get in Rajkot?
Up to ₹78,000. Per pmsuryaghar.gov.in, PM Surya Ghar pays ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the third, and nothing above that. So 1 kW earns ₹30,000, 2 kW earns ₹60,000, and 3 kW or larger earns ₹78,000, credited straight to your bank account.
Can I buy solar on EMI or a loan in Rajkot?
Yes. Residential rooftop solar falls under priority-sector lending and several banks and NBFCs finance it. Most Rajkot households finance the pre-subsidy amount, then prepay principal when the subsidy lands. We can introduce financing partners, though comparing their terms against your own bank is usually smarter.

Net metering & DISCOM

Which DISCOM serves Rajkot for rooftop solar?
PGVCL, Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited, the GUVNL subsidiary for Saurashtra and Kachchh. Its corporate office is in Rajkot itself. DGVCL serves Surat, MGVCL Vadodara, UGVCL north Gujarat and Torrent Power holds separate city licence areas. A Rajkot file lodged elsewhere will not process.
Is net metering available in Rajkot, and what happens to surplus units?
Yes. Under the GERC framework your system is capped at your sanctioned load and all consumer categories may apply. Your home uses solar first by day and exports the surplus to PGVCL as credit against units drawn at night, so a dry-season surplus banks against the monsoon dip.
How long does PGVCL net metering take in Rajkot?
A few weeks from application to installed bidirectional meter, covering feasibility, post-installation inspection and the meter swap. Installation itself is only days of that. PGVCL controls the pace of the rest and no installer can compress it, so a guaranteed one-week net meter is a red flag.
Do I need PGVCL approval before installing solar in Rajkot?
Yes, for any grid-connected system, which is almost everyone. The order runs application, feasibility approval, installation, then inspection and meter. Installing first is how Rajkot roofs end up generating with no export credit, and how oversized systems get rejected outright. We file in the correct order.

Sizing & performance

How many units does 1 kW of solar generate per day in Rajkot?
About 4 to 4.5 units daily, averaged across the year. Rajkot gets roughly 5.5 peak sun hours, one of the stronger resources in India. Output beats that average from February to May and drops during the July to September monsoon. Over a year expect 1,450 to 1,600 units per kW.
What size solar system suits a 2 BHK or 3 BHK home in Rajkot?
A 2 BHK usually 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 PGVCL bills and choose the system that covers your average month, not your worst one.
How many ACs can run on a 3 kW or 5 kW solar system in Rajkot?
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 Rajkot May needs 5 kW. At night you draw grid power against banked credits.
How much roof area do I need for solar in Rajkot?
About 90 to 100 sq ft of genuinely shadow-free area per kW, so roughly 300 sq ft for 3 kW and 500 sq ft for 5 kW. Shadow-free is the catch: a tank or neighbouring parapet shading the array two hours a day costs real output. An elevated structure recovers a congested terrace.

Installation & service

How long does solar installation take in Rajkot?
Two to four days on a typical residential roof. The full journey, from survey and proposal through the portal and PGVCL applications to inspection and net meter, runs several weeks, with the PGVCL steps as the variable. We give you a date range at proposal stage and name which steps are ours.
What maintenance do solar panels need in Rajkot?
Mainly cleaning. Rajkot's long dry season and low March humidity build a dust layer on the glass that cuts output with no visible fault. Clean every two to three weeks from February to June, less during the monsoon, and check connections, fasteners and earthing twice a year. Our AMC covers both.
Can I add more panels to my Rajkot system later?
Usually yes, within two limits: inverter capacity and your PGVCL sanctioned load. Tell us at survey stage if you expect to expand and we specify an inverter with headroom and lay the structure out for it. Going beyond sanctioned load needs a load-enhancement application first.

About Heaven Green

Does Heaven Green Energy have an office in Rajkot?
No. Our headquarters is at Mota Varachha, Surat. We serve Rajkot and the wider Saurashtra region through our channel partner network and field engineering team, who run the surveys, supervise installation, handle PGVCL coordination and provide after-sales service locally. You should know that before signing.
Who is the best solar company in Rajkot, and how should I judge one?
Judge on documents, not on claims. Ask for PM Surya Ghar empanelment, an itemised Bill of Materials, module serial traceability, a wind-load rated structure drawing, separate product and performance warranties, and a written AMC scope. We have built since 2017 with over 10,000 installations, and we hand all six over.
