Chandigarh · Union Territory
Independent advice for domestic connections in Chandigarh UT. The city is its own electricity jurisdiction — Panchkula and Mohali homes follow different DISCOMs. Your slab bill and roof rights still decide payback after central CFA.
Chandigarh is a planned city with wide sectors, independent houses, and strict building norms — but rooftop solar here runs through the Chandigarh Electricity Department (CED), not Punjab State Power Corporation or Haryana discoms. A quote that treats Chandigarh like “tri-city Punjab” is a red flag. Sealix advises; we are not CED and not your installer. Start with the free home check.
Domestic supply within Chandigarh UT is administered by CED. Rooftop solar under PM Surya Ghar selects Chandigarh / CED on pmsuryaghar.gov.in, then follows UT feasibility, net-meter installation, and commissioning steps published on the Chandigarh administration portal.
Tri-city note: Panchkula (Haryana — often UHBVN) and Mohali / SAS Nagar (Punjab — often PSPCL) are separate jurisdictions. Match the DISCOM on your bill, not your office address.
Central residential CFA is commonly ₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / up to ₹78,000 for eligible 1–3 kW+ systems after commissioning. Chandigarh UT may publish local rooftop solar guidelines — confirm live CED wording before signing an installer quote. Full walkthrough: PM Surya Ghar guide.
Sector bungalows in 8, 9, 10, and southern sectors often have clear roof rights and good south exposure. Older sectors with mature trees (Sector 15, 16, 22) may face afternoon shade. Flats in group housing societies need society NOC — often the longest calendar item. Run bill maths first.
November–January smog across the northern plains reduces irradiance versus clear-sky models for weeks each year. Size from annual bill units, not a summer-only estimate.
Grid-tied rooftop solar needs a bi-directional net meter from CED. Settlement rules follow the tariff order in force at commissioning. National explainer: net metering in India.
Many mid-to-high bill Chandigarh homes land near 3 kW to capture the full central CFA ceiling. Going to 5 kW adds capacity with no extra central CFA — see 3 kW vs 5 kW and ₹3,000/month bill guide.
