Greater Noida: 10 kW with a fast net meter

This 10 kW rooftop installation in Greater Noida uses an elevated array and a grid connection with a net meter. It is a useful reference for a larger home with the roof space and daytime consumption to make 10 kW worthwhile.

The modules sit on an elevated structure that clears the parapet, with a second row mounted overhead. This approach can help fit a larger array while keeping more of the terrace usable.

Getting the connection right

Greater Noida and Greater Noida West are served by NPCL (Noida Power Company Limited). Check the name on your bill before starting an application, as Noida city uses PVVNL instead.

The rules for the connection come from the state regulator: under the UPERC rooftop solar regulations of 2019, residential users may choose net or gross metering, and the DISCOM allows capacity within transformer limits. How that works today for an NPCL connection, with the documents and the sequence, is on the Greater Noida net-metering page and the NPCL board page.

Is 10 kW the right size today?

Choose 10 kW when your household regularly uses a large share of its electricity during the day and has enough unshaded roof. PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, launched 13 February 2024, Cabinet-approved 29 February 2024, pays a central subsidy of ₹78,000 on any home system of 3 kW or more, and Uttar Pradesh adds ₹15,000 per kW capped at ₹30,000 per consumer, on top of the central subsidy.

A 10 kW home system therefore receives the same subsidy as a 3 kW one, against a much higher price, which is why the payback on 10 kW depends on how much of the output the house actually uses. The 10 kW price page and the Greater Noida price page set out the current figures, and the solar calculator takes your own units.
