Delhi community solar for flat dwellers

Delhi policy now backs community solar and virtual net metering so apartment residents can share rooftop arrays without owning the whole building.

What you can do in New Delhi

  • Read how flats and RWAs can host shared arrays on the official Delhi solar portal (pathways to install solar)
  • Download the Community Solar explainer PDF for tenant-friendly models (Community Solar PDF)
  • Compare bill-credit steps with a Y2 Community Solar project picker (Y2 Community Solar)
  • Ask your RWA how virtual net metering splits credits across meters

How to join

This idea is a guide, not a purchase. Start on the Delhi portal, then use Y2 Solar tools only if you want to inspect a specific offering. Read all terms before you pay; Solarpunker does not sell power.

Why it matters in New Delhi

Sunny roofs sit above traffic noise. When credits reach renters, clean power feels local instead of distant.

Good to know

  • Can renters participate? Portal copy describes models for flats; confirm with your RWA and discom rules.
  • Will I earn a fixed return? No savings figures here; check each provider terms.
  • Is this the same as a coop? Delhi uses policy-backed community models; compare options on the portal.
