- Haryana has two DISCOMs: UHBVN (north) and DHBVN (south, incl. Gurgaon and Faridabad).
- Empanelment is per-DISCOM — UHBVN approval does not work in DHBVN areas (estimate; verify).
- Subsidy is the national figure: ₹78,000 cap at 3 kW+, paid to the customer by DBT.
- Systems ≤10 kW have deemed feasibility for net metering under the 2020 Rules.
- HAREDA is the state nodal agency — confirm portal links and any state add-on with it.
To do subsidised PM Surya Ghar work in Haryana, you empanel with the DISCOM that covers your area. Haryana splits into two — UHBVN in the north and DHBVN in the south. This guide is for EPC owner-operators, not homeowners: where to register, how net metering and load work, and what payout really looks like on the ground.
What PM Surya Ghar empanelment in Haryana is
PM Surya Ghar empanelment in Haryana is how your EPC firm gets listed to do subsidised rooftop jobs in the state. The national scheme runs the same everywhere, but the DISCOM approves vendors and runs net metering on the ground. In Haryana, that means dealing with one of two distribution companies, depending on where the home is.
You register your firm once on the National Portal, then get empanelled by the DISCOM for your work area. HAREDA — the Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency — is the state nodal agency that supports the scheme. Both the portal listing and the DISCOM approval must be in place before homeowners can pick you.
UHBVN vs DHBVN — which DISCOM covers your area?
Haryana has two DISCOMs, and which one you deal with depends on the customer's location. UHBVN covers the north of the state; DHBVN covers the south, including the high-demand Gurgaon and Faridabad belt. Empanelment and net metering are handled per-DISCOM.
District lists shift over time as boundaries are redrawn, so treat the areas above as a guide and confirm the exact DISCOM for a given pincode before you quote. If you work both the northern and southern belts, you will deal with both UHBVN and DHBVN.
How to get empanelled with UHBVN and DHBVN
You empanel with each DISCOM separately, because PM Surya Ghar empanelment is per-DISCOM and not portable. UHBVN approval does not let you work in DHBVN areas, and the reverse is also true. To serve all of Haryana, you register with both.
The core document set is the same as anywhere
Each DISCOM wants the standard vendor pack: firm PAN, active GST, incorporation or partnership proof, a valid electrical contractor licence, a cancelled cheque, details of trained technicians, and the Performance Bank Guarantee. The single-state PBG is ₹2.5 lakh, valid for five years, lodged through REC Limited. Our vendor registration guide walks through the full document list and the scopes.
Empanel with the DISCOM where the work is
If most of your jobs are in Gurgaon or Faridabad, start with DHBVN. If you work Panipat, Karnal or Ambala, start with UHBVN. You can add the second DISCOM later. Because each empanelment is separate, the non-portable rule applies inside Haryana too, not just across state lines.
The exact UHBVN and DHBVN portal links, the upload steps and any state-specific add-on are estimates here and change often. Verify the current figure and process with your DISCOM and the Haryana state nodal agency (HAREDA) before you apply.
The subsidy you can actually promise in Haryana
The PM Surya Ghar subsidy is the same national figure in Haryana as everywhere else: ₹30,000 per kW up to 2 kW, plus ₹18,000 for the third kW, capped at ₹78,000 for a system of 3 kW or more. This is a scheme fact you can state with confidence.
It is on benchmark cost, and it is paid to the customer
The subsidy is calculated on the MNRE benchmark cost, not your quote. It is paid to the customer by DBT after the system is commissioned and the net meter is installed — never to the EPC. So your quote and the subsidy are separate numbers; explain that to customers up front to avoid disputes later.
Group housing and RWAs
For common facilities in group housing societies and resident welfare associations, the scheme supports ₹18,000 per kW up to 500 kW. This matters in Haryana's many NCR apartment complexes, where shared rooftops can host larger systems than a single home.
Is there a Haryana state top-up on the central subsidy? Treat any state add-on as unconfirmed. If a customer or rival quotes one, verify the current figure with HAREDA before you put it in writing — state add-ons are volatile and may change without notice.
Net metering and feasibility in Haryana
Net metering in Haryana is handled by your DISCOM — UHBVN or DHBVN — and small systems get a shortcut. Systems up to 10 kW have deemed feasibility under the Electricity (Rights of Consumers) Rules 2020, so the DISCOM cannot hold them up with a separate feasibility study.
Above 10 kW needs a feasibility check
Larger systems still go through a feasibility step, where the DISCOM checks the local transformer and feeder can take the export. For homes, most systems sit under 10 kW and clear this automatically. Our net-metering process guide covers the application, the bi-directional meter and the connection steps in detail.
Build the meter step into your timeline
The subsidy only releases after the net meter is installed, so the meter is on the critical path, not an afterthought. Net-metering timelines vary by DISCOM and season; the days you may hear quoted are an estimate, so confirm the current UHBVN or DHBVN process before you promise a customer a date.
Sanctioned load and load enhancement
Your customer's sanctioned load can shape what system size the DISCOM will approve, so check it before you finalise a design. A home with a low sanctioned load may need a load enhancement request to support a larger rooftop system.
Match system size to the connection
When the proposed system is large relative to the sanctioned load, the DISCOM may ask the customer to enhance the connection first. That adds a step and sometimes a cost, so flag it early. Reading the existing bill and connection details at the survey stage saves a surprise later.
The exact UHBVN and DHBVN load-enhancement process, fees and forms are estimates here and change often — verify the current process with your DISCOM and HAREDA. The net-metering guide also touches on how load and feasibility interact.
The Haryana market for solar EPCs
Haryana's strongest rooftop demand sits in the NCR belt — Gurgaon and Faridabad — where high power bills and large independent homes make the maths easy for customers. This is DHBVN territory, so most NCR EPCs start their empanelment there.
North Haryana is steadier and agricultural
The UHBVN belt — Panipat, Karnal, Ambala and around — has a steadier, more spread-out demand, with a mix of homes, small commercial units and farm households. Volumes are lower per pincode than NCR, but competition can be thinner too.
HAREDA sets the state context
HAREDA — the Haryana Renewable Energy Development Agency — is the state nodal agency. It is your reference point for state-level scheme support, awareness drives and any Haryana-specific notices. When a figure is unclear, HAREDA and your DISCOM are the primary sources to check.
What subsidy payout really looks like in Haryana
The PM Surya Ghar subsidy is meant to reach the customer by DBT within about 15 to 30 days of a clean claim, but in practice it often takes 30 to 90 days or more. Both windows are field estimates, not official figures — confirm the current timeline with your DISCOM and HAREDA.
The money goes to the customer, not you
Because the subsidy is paid to the customer by DBT, your cash flow does not depend on it directly — but your customer's patience does. Set expectations honestly: tell homeowners the official window is short but real-world delays are common, so they are not chasing you when the bank credit is slow.
The number-one reason DBT fails
A name mismatch across Aadhaar, the electricity bill and the bank account is the single most common reason a DBT payout fails. Check these match before commissioning. One mismatched initial can hold up a payout for weeks, and the customer will blame the installer.
What stalls PM Surya Ghar claims in Haryana
Most stalled claims in Haryana come down to the same handful of avoidable issues. Catch them before you submit and your jobs move cleanly.
- Wrong DISCOM — empanelling only with UHBVN, then taking a DHBVN job (or vice versa).
- Name mismatch across Aadhaar, bill and bank — the top cause of a failed DBT payout.
- Net meter skipped or delayed — the subsidy will not release until the bi-directional meter is in.
- Load not enhanced — a large system on a small sanctioned load gets held at feasibility.
- ALMM not ready — from 1 June 2026, ALMM List-II cells are mandatory; check your module supply now.
The ALMM List-II cell rule is a national change, so it applies in Haryana too. Line up compliant module supply early rather than discovering a gap at claim time.
How SuryaHub helps Haryana EPCs deliver
Working both UHBVN and DHBVN means two logins, two document sets and two net-metering queues. SuryaHub keeps them in one place and runs each job from lead through DISCOM and net-metering steps to subsidy-claim tracking — so a wrong DISCOM, a name mismatch or a missed meter step does not slip through. The mobile field app keeps survey and site data clean from the first visit. SuryaHub is pre-revenue; the only real pilots are Suryantra Energy and RGESPL, and AI features are on the roadmap.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get PM Surya Ghar empanelment in Haryana?+
For PM Surya Ghar empanelment in Haryana, you register on the National Portal and then get empanelled by the DISCOM that covers your work area. Haryana has two DISCOMs — UHBVN in the north and DHBVN in the south. Empanelment is per-DISCOM, so confirm the current process with your DISCOM and HAREDA.
Does UHBVN empanelment let me work in DHBVN areas?+
No. PM Surya Ghar empanelment is per-DISCOM and not portable. UHBVN empanelment covers north Haryana, and DHBVN empanelment covers south Haryana, including Gurgaon and Faridabad. To work across both, you empanel with each DISCOM separately. Confirm the current process with each Haryana DISCOM and HAREDA.
How much PM Surya Ghar subsidy can a Haryana homeowner get?+
PM Surya Ghar pays ₹30,000 per kW up to 2 kW, plus ₹18,000 for the third kW, capped at ₹78,000 for a system of 3 kW or more. The subsidy is calculated on the MNRE benchmark cost, not your quote, and it is paid to the customer by DBT after commissioning and net-meter installation.
Do small rooftop systems in Haryana need a feasibility study?+
Systems up to 10 kW have deemed feasibility under the Electricity Rights of Consumers Rules 2020, so the DISCOM cannot delay them with a separate study. Larger systems still need a feasibility check. In practice, net-metering timelines vary by DISCOM, so confirm the current UHBVN or DHBVN process before you commit a date.
How long does the PM Surya Ghar subsidy payout take in Haryana?+
The PM Surya Ghar subsidy is meant to reach the customer by DBT within about 15 to 30 days of a clean claim, but in practice it often takes 30 to 90 days or more. This payout window is a field estimate, not an official figure — confirm the current timeline with your DISCOM and HAREDA.
How does SuryaHub help PM Surya Ghar EPCs in Haryana?+
