Rooftop Solar in Telangana
Independent guidance for consumers in Telangana. Not an official DISCOM or government page.
Government scheme details, subsidy amounts, DISCOM rules and net-metering regulations change from time to time. Please verify current rules with the relevant official authority before making decisions.
Solar overview
Telangana receives ample sunshine for most of the year, making rooftop solar a practical option for homes, shops and institutions. Residential consumers may be eligible for central financial assistance under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, subject to current eligibility rules.
Rooftop solar information
Grid-connected rooftop systems are the most common choice in Telangana. Capacity is typically linked to your sanctioned load and available shade-free roof area. A site survey by an installer will confirm what is feasible for your roof.
Electricity distribution (DISCOM)
Rooftop solar applications, feasibility approval and net metering in Telangana are handled by the local electricity distribution company (DISCOM) serving your area. Your electricity bill shows which DISCOM serves you. DISCOM procedures and timelines vary.
Please verify current rules with the relevant official authority.
Subsidy information
Residential consumers in Telangana may apply for central financial assistance through the official national portal. Any additional state-level support, if available, is announced by the state government. We do not publish subsidy amounts because they change; check the official portal for the current figures.
Please verify current rules with the relevant official authority.
Net metering information
Net metering / net billing arrangements in Telangana are governed by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission and implemented by the DISCOM. Capacity limits, settlement periods and charges are set by these regulations.
Please verify current rules with the relevant official authority.
Installation guidance
Use an installer registered under the scheme (for subsidised systems) or a reputed local installer. Ensure the quote includes structure, wiring, earthing, net meter and DISCOM liaison. Keep all approvals and commissioning documents.
Solar capacity guidance
As a rough guide, 1 kW of rooftop solar produces approximately 3.5–4.5 units per day on average across the year, needing about 80–100 sq ft of shade-free roof. Use our calculator for an estimate based on your bill.
