What is different about selling solar in Uttar Pradesh
Uttar Pradesh is the largest residential market by household count and the most fragmented by utility: five separate discoms plus KESCO in Kanpur means an installer working Lucknow and Noida deals with MVVNL and PVVNL respectively, with different officers and timelines. UPNEDA has historically run its own state top-up alongside the central subsidy, which materially changes the effective out-of-pocket figure you should quote, so confirm the current order before promising a number. Grid reliability in smaller towns makes hybrid and battery-backed systems a genuinely easier sell here than in metros.

Uttar Pradesh net-metering capacity rule
UPPCL's discoms — PVVNL, MVVNL, PuVVNL, DVVNL and KESCO in Kanpur — allow net metering for consumers up to substantial capacity with annual settlement, but the sanctioning discom differs by zone and each maintains its own feasibility queue.
Net metering in Uttar Pradesh
Regulator: Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (UPERC) / UPNEDA
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 Uttar Pradesh
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 Uttar Pradesh route through Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA). 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.
