Check My Solar SavingsWhy Rooftop Solar Makes Sense in Ayodhya
Strong Solar Irradiance
Ayodhya receives approximately 5 to 5.5 peak sun hours per day on average — comfortably above the threshold for financially viable rooftop solar. Long, sunny summers make the economics of solar particularly strong for Ayodhya households.
Growing City, Rising Electricity Demand
Ayodhya is experiencing rapid development and infrastructure growth. As electricity demand and tariffs rise alongside this growth, locking in rooftop solar generation now protects homeowners from escalating MVVNL bills over the next two decades.
Summer Bills & Solar Output Align
The hottest months drive the highest electricity bills — and are when solar panels generate the most power. For Ayodhya homeowners, solar output peaks precisely when the financial benefit of avoiding grid electricity is greatest.
PM Surya Ghar Opportunity
Ayodhya homeowners with an MVVNL electricity connection are eligible for the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana central subsidy. MVVNL maintains an empanelled installer list and the pmsuryaghar.gov.in portal handles all Ayodhya applications.
MVVNL Net Metering in Ayodhya
How the net metering connection process works for Ayodhya homeowners under MVVNL.
Install via MVVNL-Empanelled Installer
Your installer must be empanelled with MVVNL under the PM Surya Ghar scheme. Verify empanelment status on pmsuryaghar.gov.in before signing any contract.
Submit Net Metering Application to MVVNL
After installation, your installer submits the net metering application to MVVNL with technical details of the system. Most empanelled installers handle this on your behalf.
MVVNL Technical Inspection
An MVVNL engineer inspects the installation to verify grid safety compliance. This typically takes two to four weeks depending on MVVNL workload in Ayodhya.
Bi-Directional Meter Installation
Your existing MVVNL meter is replaced with a net meter that measures both electricity imported from and exported to the grid. A one-time meter replacement fee may apply.
Commissioning & Net Metering Active
Once the meter is installed, MVVNL commissions your system. Surplus solar exported to the grid earns credits on your monthly MVVNL electricity bill from this point forward.
See our net metering guidefor a full explanation of how credits appear on your bill.
Choosing the Right System Size in Ayodhya
Match your monthly MVVNL bill to the right system size.
| Monthly MVVNL Bill | Recommended Size | Roof Area Needed | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹800 – ₹2,000 | 1kW System | 80–120 sq ft | Small homes, limited roof |
| ₹1,500 – ₹3,000 | 2kW System | 160–220 sq ft | Small families, 2BHK |
| ₹2,500 – ₹5,000 | 3kW System ★ Most popular | 240–300 sq ft | Medium families, 3BHK |
| ₹4,000 – ₹7,000 | 5kW System | 400–500 sq ft | Larger homes, heavy AC use |
