Haryana Solar Subsidy & HAREDA Support
What the state actually offers on rooftop solar — and how it sits alongside the central PM Surya Ghar grant.
What State Support Looks Like in Haryana
It helps to be clear from the outset: Haryana does not run a blanket state top-up on top of the central subsidy, nor does it pay a generation-linked incentive. For the large majority of households across Faridabad, Palwal and Gurugram, the benefit is the nationwide PM Surya Ghar grant of up to Rs 78,000. The one state-level addition is targeted at low-income families.
| Who | What they get |
|---|---|
| Most households | Central PM Surya Ghar grant only — up to Rs 78,000 |
| Antyodaya / low-income families | Extra HAREDA support of about Rs 25,000/KW, up to 2 KW |
| Income ceiling for the extra support | Annual household income up to Rs 1.80 lakh |
The additional HAREDA amount is reserved for Antyodaya households and is income-tested; it is not open to every consumer.
HAREDA Support for Antyodaya Families
If a household's yearly income is at or below Rs 1.80 lakh, it may qualify as an Antyodaya family under HAREDA. For these families the state adds roughly Rs 25,000 for every KW installed, capped at 2 KW, on top of the central PM Surya Ghar grant. This is designed to bring rooftop solar within reach of homes for which the upfront cost would otherwise be a barrier.
Who it covers: residential Antyodaya households with annual income up to Rs 1.80 lakh.
How much: about Rs 25,000 per KW, up to a 2 KW ceiling.
Where it comes from: processed and released through HAREDA, the state nodal agency.
Eligibility and exact amounts are confirmed by HAREDA at the time of application. We help you check whether your household qualifies.
Net Metering Through DHBVN
Turn the units your roof produces into savings on your bill.
Across Faridabad, Palwal and Gurugram, DHBVN is the distribution utility that handles your grid connection and net metering. When your panels generate more than the home is using, the extra electricity is pushed onto the DHBVN network and recorded by a bi-directional meter. Those exported units are then set off against what you draw from the grid later, under the net-metering rules laid down by HERC.
How the billing works
Your meter tracks both the units you import and the units you export.
At each billing cycle, DHBVN nets the two against each other.
You are billed only for the net import, so heavy-generation months can shrink the bill considerably.
Applying: net-metering requests are submitted on the DHBVN online portal — a step we complete on your behalf.
Regulator: the terms of settlement follow HERC's net-metering regulations for Haryana.
Other Things Worth Knowing in Haryana
A few more practical points beyond the subsidy itself.
DHBVN Net Metering
Homes can connect under DHBVN net metering, letting surplus units flow back to the grid and offset future consumption.
HERC-Regulated Settlement
Export and import are reconciled under the net-metering framework set by the Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC).
Online Application Route
Net-metering requests are filed through the DHBVN online portal, with no need to visit a sub-division office for routine steps.
Single-Window Subsidy via HAREDA
HAREDA, the state nodal agency, coordinates registration and release of the rooftop solar subsidy in Haryana.
Long-Term Asset Value
A grid-tied system keeps trimming your DHBVN bills for two decades or more, well beyond the payback period.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Haryana give a state subsidy on top of PM Surya Ghar?
Not for everyone. There is no universal state top-up in Haryana. For most homes the benefit is the central PM Surya Ghar grant of up to Rs 78,000. The only state-level addition is HAREDA support for Antyodaya families whose annual income is up to Rs 1.80 lakh.
How much extra can an Antyodaya family receive?
Eligible low-income households can get roughly Rs 25,000 per KW, capped at 2 KW, through HAREDA — over and above the central PM Surya Ghar grant.
How does net metering work with DHBVN?
DHBVN fits a bi-directional meter that logs both the units you import and the surplus you export to the grid. At each billing cycle the two are netted off under HERC rules, and you pay only for the net import.
Where do I apply for net metering in South Haryana?
Net-metering applications for Faridabad, Palwal and Gurugram are filed through the DHBVN online portal. RS Solar Infrastructure handles this submission as part of the installation.
