The short answer

Rooftop solar in Surat costs about ₹1.80 lakh to ₹2.25 lakh for a 3 kW system before subsidy, falling to roughly ₹1.02 lakh to ₹1.47 lakh after the ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar subsidy. Each kilowatt generates 4 to 4.5 units a day here. Net metering runs through DGVCL or Torrent Power, depending on the address. Payback lands between three and a half and five years.

Price, size and savings

Find your bill. Read across.

Here is the price, before you give anyone your phone number. Find your monthly bill in the left column and read across for the system size that matches it, what it generates in Surat sun, the shadow-free roof it needs, and what it costs once the subsidy is deducted. Gujarat prices sit slightly below the national average because the state has a dense installer base, and Surat has more of them per square kilometre than most.

Indicative Surat market ranges for 2026, covering Tier-1 modules, a branded inverter, galvanised structure, protection and installation. These are market ranges, not a Heaven Green Energy quotation. 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. Take the units figure off your last bill rather than the amount, because units are what a system cancels. Shadow-free is the operative phrase in the roof column too. On a Varachha or Katargam terrace hemmed in by four-storey neighbours, an elevated structure buys back the area a parapet shadow removes, and it earns its extra steel within a year.

The 3 kW cliff is real. The subsidy covers 35 to 43% of a 3 kW system but only 12 to 15% of a 10 kW one, because nothing is paid above the third kilowatt. If your bill sits on the boundary, 3 kW returns more rupees per rupee spent.

A cheap Surat quote is cheap in the structure, not the panels. Galvanising thickness, cable gauge, earthing and surge protection separate the bottom of each band from the top, and on a city 20 km from the Gulf of Khambhat they also decide how long the mounting lasts. Ask for a written Bill of Materials listing make, model and quantity, or you are not comparing prices at all.

Why there is no rupee saving in that table

There is no rupee saving in that table, and that is deliberate. What a unit saves you depends on the slab you personally reach and on which licensee bills you, both of which are printed on your own bill. We will not guess it. 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. Any vendor quoting you a precise monthly saving without having seen that bill is quoting you a guess dressed up as arithmetic. 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 bigger "Surat subsidy" is selling something that does not exist. PM Surya Ghar is a central scheme, so the amount is identical in Surat, Indore and Chennai. What changes locally is who processes your application, and in Surat that is DGVCL or Torrent Power.

1

Register on the National Portal

You register at pmsuryaghar.gov.in with your consumer number, mobile, Aadhaar and address. Pick the correct licensee on the dropdown: a Torrent Power consumer filed under DGVCL stalls immediately, and that mismatch is the commonest reason a Surat application sits still.

2

Apply for feasibility, then pick your vendor

Your licensee checks the application against your sanctioned load and releases feasibility. You then select an empanelled vendor from the portal list. Heaven Green Energy is empanelled, so we map straight onto your application.

3

Install after approval, never before

We supply Adani modules with traceable serial numbers and hand you a Bill of Materials and warranty schedule on the day. Installing ahead of approval is how roofs end up generating with no sanctioned net meter.

4

Inspection and net meter

The licensee inspects the installation and fits the bidirectional meter, which generates your commissioning certificate on the portal. Our engineer attends the inspection so queries get answered on the spot.

5

Claim and credit

We file the claim once the certificate issues, and the government credits the subsidy directly to your bank account. It never passes through us. Treat any vendor who offers to collect it on your behalf as a warning sign.

If you are a business, this section does not apply

PM Surya Ghar covers residential consumers only. A Surat textile unit, diamond factory or showroom cannot claim it. Businesses claim accelerated depreciation on the asset instead, which for a taxpaying firm frequently returns more than the residential subsidy would have paid.

DGVCL or Torrent Power, by address

Net metering: who you actually file with.

Surat is the one Gujarat city where naming the wrong distribution company is easy, and getting it wrong costs you every export credit you were counting on.

Surat has two distribution licensees, not one. Dakshin Gujarat Vij Company Limited (DGVCL) is the state-owned licensee, a GUVNL subsidiary incorporated in 2003 with its corporate office in Surat. It covers South Gujarat, which is Surat district except part of Surat city, plus Bharuch, Narmada, Tapi, Dang, Navsari and Valsad, around 23,307 sq km. Torrent Power Limited holds a separate GERC distribution licence for part of Surat city itself, the older core inside the Torrent licence area, with a largely undergrounded network.

So the honest answer to "which discom serves Surat" is: check your bill. DGVCL runs divisions across Adajan, Rander, Piplod, Mota Varachha, Amroli, Utran, Althan, Magdalla, Limbayat and the Udhna and Sachin rural belts. Pages that flatly declare Surat a DGVCL city, or flatly a Torrent city, will send roughly half their readers to the wrong counter.

Commercial terms 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, every consumer category may apply, and exported surplus is credited against the units you draw at night and through the monsoon.

Application

Consumer details, sanctioned load, system rating, single-line diagram and equipment datasheets go to DGVCL or Torrent Power, whichever your bill names.

2

Technical feasibility

The licensee tests whether your transformer and sanctioned load carry the proposed capacity. Oversized systems fail here, which is why we read your sanctioned load on the first visit.

Installation and inspection

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

Bidirectional meter

Your meter is swapped for a bidirectional net meter and the commissioning certificate issues. Export credits start accruing from that date, not from installation day.

Not a home?

Solar for Surat's businesses.

Running a dyeing unit, a diamond factory or a showroom rather than a home? The economics work differently and this page is written for homeowners.

Businesses in Pandesara, Sachin GIDC, Udhna, Katargam and the Hazira belt get no PM Surya Ghar subsidy. They claim accelerated depreciation on the asset instead, which for a taxpaying firm often returns more than the residential subsidy would, and they can avoid capital outlay altogether through OPEX or RESCO models.

Surat's process houses run heat and motors all day, which is the load profile solar suits best: generation peaks at the same hours the looms, dyeing lines and polishing wheels do, so most of what you generate is consumed on site rather than exported. We deliver turnkey commercial and industrial EPC across the Surat belt, with structural design to wind-load standards, licensee registration, metering coordination and long-term O&M.

  • Shed roofs across Pandesara and Sachin GIDC usually need purlin strengthening before an array goes on, and we check that at survey rather than at installation.
  • Diamond units in Katargam and Varachha run high, steady daytime load in small floor plates, which suits a compact high-efficiency layout.
  • Hazira-belt sites need the coastal hardware specification as standard, not as an upgrade.

Where we are based

Surat is our head office city. Heaven Green Energy is headquartered at Mota Varachha, Surat, and the teams who survey your roof, install the system and coordinate with DGVCL or Torrent Power are our own staff working out of that office. If you want to meet us before you sign, you can.

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

We measure shadow-free area, check the roof structure, read your sanctioned load and twelve months of consumption, and log shading from tanks, parapets and neighbouring buildings.

Day 1–2
02

Written proposal

System size, layout, Bill of Materials with makes and models, generation estimate at Surat irradiance, the coastal hardware specification, your subsidy and your payback. No obligation attached, and the document is yours to compare.

Day 3–5
03

Applications and installation

We file with the national portal and with DGVCL or Torrent Power, then install once feasibility clears. A typical residential roof takes two to four days.

Day 5–15
04

Inspection, meter, subsidy

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

Set by the licensee

What Surat weather does to a solar system

Surat sits on the Tapi estuary near the Gulf of Khambhat, a tropical savanna climate with a short, violent monsoon and humid, salty air. Three local conditions change the engineering. A vendor quoting you an inland specification here is quoting you a shorter-lived system, whatever the panel brand on the invoice says.

Salt-laden coastal air

Humid air off the estuary carries salt inland across Hazira, Magdalla, Dumas and the western suburbs. Salt attacks the cheap end of the hardware first: thin galvanising, ordinary fasteners, unsealed junction boxes. Ask for the galvanising specification in writing and for stainless or hot-dip fasteners. This is the single biggest difference between a Surat system and a Malwa one.

Heat plus humidity derating

April and May run around 37°C in Surat and routinely pass 40°C, and module output falls as cell temperature climbs. Airflow is the fix: real clearance between module and roof so heat escapes. A structure bolted flush to the terrace to save steel costs you generation every summer for twenty-five years.

A heavy, concentrated monsoon

Surat takes roughly 1,200 mm of rain between mid-June and the end of September, most of it in July and August, and the city floods in bad years. Mounting height, cable routing, waterproofed penetrations and surge protection matter more here than in a dry-season city. Generation dips through those weeks and your banked export credits are what cover it.

Questions

Solar in Surat: every question answered.

17 questions Surat 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 Surat in 2026?
A 3 kW system runs ₹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. Structure quality, protection specification and roof access drive the spread far more than the panel brand does. A 2 kW system sits at ₹1.25 lakh to ₹1.55 lakh.
What is the price of a 3 kW solar system in Surat with subsidy?
Between ₹1.02 lakh and ₹1.47 lakh net: ₹1.80 lakh to ₹2.25 lakh less the ₹78,000 subsidy. A 3 kW system generates 360 to 405 units a month in Surat, which covers a household using 300 to 400 units. It is the smallest system that still earns the maximum subsidy.
How much subsidy do I get on solar panels in Surat?
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 get solar on EMI or a loan in Surat?
Yes. Residential rooftop solar falls under priority-sector lending and several banks and NBFCs finance it. Most Surat households finance the pre-subsidy amount, then prepay principal once the subsidy lands. We can introduce financing partners, but comparing their terms against your own bank is the smarter move.

Net metering & DISCOM

Which DISCOM serves Surat for rooftop solar, DGVCL or Torrent Power?
Both, depending on your address. Dakshin Gujarat Vij Company Limited covers South Gujarat including Surat district except part of Surat city, while Torrent Power Limited holds a separate GERC licence for part of the city itself. Your electricity bill names your licensee on the front. Check it before filing anything, because the national portal asks you to choose.
Is net metering available in Surat, and what happens to my extra units?
Yes, under both licensees. The GERC framework caps your system at your sanctioned load and admits every consumer category. Your home uses solar first by day and exports the surplus as credit against units drawn at night, so a February to May surplus banks against the July monsoon dip.
How long does net metering approval take in Surat?
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. The licensee-controlled steps set the pace and no installer can compress them, so treat a guaranteed one-week net meter as a red flag.
Do I need DGVCL or Torrent Power approval before installing solar in Surat?
Yes, for any grid-connected system, which is nearly everyone. The order runs application, feasibility approval, installation, then inspection and meter. Installing first is how Surat roofs end up generating with no export credit, and how oversized systems get rejected outright. We file in the right order.

Sizing & performance

How many units does 1 kW of solar generate per day in Surat?
About 4 to 4.5 units daily, averaged over the year. Surat gets roughly 5.5 peak sun hours, among the strongest resources in India. Output beats that average from February to May and drops below it through the July and August monsoon. Annually, expect 1,450 to 1,600 units per kW.
What size solar system do I need for a 2 BHK or 3 BHK home in Surat?
A 2 BHK usually needs 2 to 3 kW and a 3 BHK 3 to 5 kW, but size against consumption, not floor plan. Take the units off twelve months of bills and pick the system that covers your average month. Two households in the same Vesu tower can differ by double.
How many ACs can run on a 3 kW or 5 kW solar system?
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 in Surat supports one AC by day plus normal household load. Two ACs through a humid Surat May needs 5 kW. At night you draw against banked credits.
How much roof area do I need for solar in Surat?
Roughly 90 to 100 sq ft of genuinely shadow-free area per kW, so about 300 sq ft for 3 kW and 500 sq ft for 5 kW. Shadow-free matters: a water tank or a neighbour's parapet shading the array two hours daily costs real output. Elevated structures recover area on the congested terraces common across Varachha, Katargam and Limbayat.

Installation & service

How long does solar installation take in Surat?
Two to four days on a typical residential roof. The full journey, from survey and proposal through the portal and licensee applications to inspection and net meter, runs several weeks, with the licensee 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 Surat?
Mainly cleaning, plus a corrosion check the inland cities do not need. Dry-season dust and coastal salt film both cut output with no visible fault. Clean every two to three weeks from February to June, less through the monsoon when rain does part of the work, and inspect fasteners, earthing, mounting clamps and connections twice a year. Our AMC covers both jobs.
Can I add more panels to my system later?
Usually yes, within two limits: your inverter capacity and your sanctioned load. Tell us at survey stage if you expect to expand and we will 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 Surat?
Yes. Surat is our head office city. We are headquartered at Mota Varachha and the engineers who survey, install and coordinate with DGVCL or Torrent Power work out of that office. You can meet the team before you sign anything, which is not true of most vendors quoting you here.
Do you install commercial and industrial solar in Surat?
Yes. We deliver turnkey EPC for dyeing and processing units, diamond factories, showrooms and warehouses across Pandesara, Sachin GIDC, Udhna, Katargam and the Hazira belt. Commercial consumers get no PM Surya Ghar subsidy but can claim accelerated depreciation, and OPEX models remove the capital outlay.
