PVVNL and Uttar Pradesh rules for factory solar
Factories get net billing, not net metering
Under UPERC's rooftop solar regulations, net metering is limited to domestic, agricultural and institutional consumers. Industrial and commercial units use net billing: imports are billed at the full tariff and exports earn a separate feed-in rate. Plants can be 1 kWp to 2 MWp and up to 100% of contracted demand.
Source: UPERC RSPV Regulations 2019 (amended to Dec 2025)What exported units earn
Since the Third Amendment (July 2025), the net-billing feed-in rate is the weighted average of the previous year's bid tariffs for solar projects of 5 MW and above, plus 25%. Because exports earn less than imports cost, the best economics come from using solar on site.

HV-2 industry (75 kW and above) pays ₹7.10/kVAh up to 11 kV plus ₹300/kVA/month. PVVNL's summer schedule gives 15% off from 05:00–10:00 and adds 15% from 19:00–03:00; in winter, 17:00–23:00 costs 15% more and 23:00–05:00 15% less.

Consumers with 100 kW or more of contracted load can take green open access under UPERC's 2024 amendment, and smaller connections in the same division can join through a lead consumer. Captive users have no minimum.

Payback on a 100 kW rooftop in Ghaziabad
| Item | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| System cost | ₹23,00,000 | 100 kW × ₹23,000/kW, ex-GST (Sun Wave reference) |
| Year-1 generation | 1,20,000 units | 100 kW × 1,200 kWh/kWp/year (Delhi Solar Policy, 2nd Amendment 2026) |
| Grid energy charge avoided | ₹7.10/kVAh | HV-2 industrial energy charge up to 11 kV, FY2026-27 (UPERC tariff order 2 Jul 2026) |
| Year-1 saving | ≈ ₹8,52,000 | 1,20,000 × ₹7.10 |
| Simple payback | ≈ 2.7 years | System cost ÷ year-1 saving |
Illustrative only. Assumes the factory uses all solar output during working hours and counts the energy charge alone, treating one kVAh as one kWh (unity power factor). It excludes GST, demand charges, surcharges, panel degradation, O&M and financing. Your actual payback depends on your tariff category, load profile and roof.

Source: Amar Ujala, Sep 2026Ghaziabad is in the National Capital Region, so CAQM Direction No. 76 applies: diesel DG sets may run only as backup, and older sets of 41–800 kW need dual-fuel kits or certified emission-control retrofits. Rooftop solar cuts the daytime units a DG set or the grid has to supply.

Which discom supplies Sahibabad and the Ghaziabad industrial areas?
All of Ghaziabad district, including Sahibabad Site-IV, Loni, Meerut Road and Bulandshahr Road, is supplied by PVVNL, the UPPCL subsidiary based in Meerut. Rooftop solar applications go to PVVNL under UPERC's rules.
What are the time-of-day electricity rates for Ghaziabad factories?
For PVVNL HV-2 consumers in FY2026-27, summer energy charges are 15% lower from 05:00 to 10:00 and 15% higher from 19:00 to 03:00. In winter they are 15% higher from 17:00 to 23:00 and 15% lower from 23:00 to 05:00, on a base of ₹7.10/kVAh up to 11 kV.
Can rooftop solar replace diesel generators for Ghaziabad industries?
Not on its own. Under CAQM Direction 76, DG sets in the NCR may run only as backup with dual-fuel kits, emission-control devices or CPCB-IV+ compliance. Rooftop solar cuts daytime grid purchases, but backup during outages needs batteries or a compliant generator.
What does a 500 kW rooftop solar plant cost in Ghaziabad?
Sun Wave's reference price is ₹22,000/kW at 500 kW, about ₹1.1 crore excluding GST, and ₹23,000/kW at 100 kW. The final price follows a site survey, and industrial systems can be up to 2 MWp and no more than your contracted demand.
