Grid rules
DHBVN and Haryana rules for factory solar
Net metering up to 500 kW
Under HERC's 2021 rooftop regulations, net metering is allowed up to 500 kW or your sanctioned load / contract demand, whichever is lower. Larger plants can use gross metering up to contract demand. Consumers drawing open-access power cannot also net-meter.

Since HERC's 2nd Amendment (October 2025), surplus credits carry forward within a 1 October – 30 September settlement period. Credits left at the end are bought by the DISCOM at 90% of the feed-in tariff, so size the plant for daytime self-consumption.

HT industrial supply (above 50 kW) pays ₹6.95/kVAh at 11 kV and ₹6.85/kVAh at 33 kV, plus ₹290/kVA/month of contract demand. Electricity duty, municipal tax and FSA are extra. There is no solar-hour rebate in the FY2026-27 schedule.

Applications go through DHBVN's online solar portal (esolarconn.dhbvn.org.in) with a ₹1,000 fee. HERC rules require a technical-feasibility decision within 15 days and a Letter of Approval within 22 days of acknowledgement; the plant must then be installed within 180 days.

Consumers with 100 kW or more of contract demand can buy green power through open access; since 2025 several connections in the same operation division can be clubbed to reach 100 kW. FY2026-27 HT charges include ₹0.73/kWh wheeling and ₹1.45/kWh cross-subsidy surcharge.

Payback on a 100 kW rooftop in Palwal
| 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 | ₹6.95/kVAh | HT industrial energy charge at 11 kV, FY2026-27 (DHBVN circular D-06/2026) |
| Year-1 saving | ≈ ₹8,34,000 | 1,20,000 × ₹6.95 |
| Simple payback | ≈ 2.8 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.

Local context
What Palwal factories should know
Prithla industrialists reported frequent power cuts and voltage problems in May 2026 that force generator use and raise production costs.

Source: UNI, Aug 2026Palwal 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.

Who approves rooftop solar net metering for factories in Prithla, Palwal?
Palwal district is served by DHBVN's Palwal circle. Applications go through DHBVN's online solar portal with a ₹1,000 fee, and HERC rules call for a feasibility decision within 15 days and a Letter of Approval within 22 days of acknowledgement.
Can rooftop solar help Prithla factories facing power cuts?
A grid-tied rooftop plant cuts the daytime units you buy from DHBVN or make with a DG set. It shuts down during a grid outage for safety, so running through cuts needs a system designed for it, such as one with batteries.
What is the HT industrial electricity rate in Palwal for 2026-27?
DHBVN's FY2026-27 schedule sets the HT energy charge at ₹6.95/kVAh at 11 kV and ₹6.85/kVAh at 33 kV, plus ₹290/kVA/month of contract demand. Electricity duty, municipal tax and FSA are extra.
What is the rooftop solar price per kW for a factory in Palwal?
Sun Wave's reference price is ₹23,000/kW excluding GST at 100 kW and ₹22,000/kW at 500 kW. The final price follows a site survey; plant size is capped at your contract demand and net metering at 500 kW.
