What is different about selling solar in Gujarat
Gujarat has the deepest residential rooftop penetration of any Indian state, which changes the sales problem: customers in Rajkot or Surat have usually seen a neighbour's system and are comparing your quote against a known number, not deciding whether solar works. Irradiance around 5.8 kWh/m²/day in Saurashtra and Kutch is among the highest in the country, so a 1 kW system realistically yields more here than in Kerala or West Bengal and your generation assumption should reflect that. The state's diamond and textile clusters in Surat are a mature C&I market where three-phase LT and HT connections dominate.

Gujarat net-metering capacity rule
The four state DISCOMs (DGVCL, MGVCL, PGVCL, UGVCL) operate net metering under the Surya Gujarat framework, historically permitting rooftop capacity around half the sanctioned load for residential consumers; Torrent Power runs Ahmedabad and Surat licence areas separately.
Net metering in Gujarat
Regulator: Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC)
Needs verification
Rooftop solar in this state is connected under the state electricity regulatory commission's net-metering regulations: the installer files an application with the local DISCOM, the DISCOM sanctions feasibility against the consumer's sanctioned load, the plant is installed by an empanelled vendor, and a bi-directional meter is installed after inspection before commissioning and credit settlement begin. Exact load caps, capacity ceilings, settlement period and fee schedule must be confirmed against the current DISCOM circular before quoting.
PM Surya Ghar subsidy in Gujarat
Needs verification
PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana is a central (all-India) scheme, so residential consumers in this state are eligible on the same national basis, applying through the National Portal and a state-empanelled vendor, with the subsidy released to the consumer's bank account after installation and DISCOM inspection. Current slab amounts, any additional state top-up, and the state nodal-agency workflow must be verified before being shown to a customer.
Applications in Gujarat route through Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA). The exact slab maths — ₹30,000/kW for the first 2 kW, ₹18,000/kW for the third, capped at ₹78,000 — is worked through in our PM Surya Ghar subsidy guide.
