30 kW residential plant, custom structure

Verde Solaire installed a 30 kW rooftop solar plant on a private residence, on a mounting structure its engineers designed so that the house's existing exterior was left as it was. The customer had set that as a requirement, and the company published the project on 16 February 2026.

The published project focuses on the 30 kW capacity and its custom structure. Equipment models, generation and savings were not included, so the details below stay with the design brief and the information available for this home.

Why the structure was the story

On most home installations the mounting structure is the least discussed part of the system: a standard frame bolted to the roof at a fixed tilt. This roof was different because the owner cared how the house looked from outside. Verde Solaire's page describes the structure design as unique and says its engineers "took care to not tamper with the existing exterior beauty of the residence". In practice that means designing the frame around the parapets, terraces and roofline rather than across them, and at 30 kW that is not a small frame.

Verde Solaire has published one other home installation where a customer singled out the structure. Navin Verma, writing about his 10 kW system in Janakpuri, New Delhi, said:

"I used Vikram solar panels and KSolare inverters with an elevated module mounting structure. The installation of solar plant by Verde was of very good quality and their installation of solar system was also very quick."

That is a different, smaller project, quoted only because it is the company's published example of an elevated structure on a house; its page is at Janakpuri, Delhi, 10 kW.

What 30 kW on a house means

Verde Solaire publishes home systems from 1 kW to 50 kW, so a 30 kW plant sits near the top of its residential range. The PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana sizing guide is 0–150 units a month: 1–2 kW · 150–300 units: 2–3 kW · above 300 units: above 3 kW; a home that justifies 30 kW uses many times the consumption that guide was written for.

The subsidy arithmetic changes at this size. The central subsidy is capped at ₹78,000 for any system of 3 kW or more, so a 30 kW home receives the same amount as a 3 kW home, not ten times it. The Delhi top-up is capped at ₹78,000 (3 kW) and the Uttar Pradesh top-up at ₹30,000 per consumer, on top of the central subsidy. A plant of this size is therefore paid for almost entirely by the owner, and the case for it rests on the bill it removes.

Net metering also takes longer above 10 kW in Delhi: the DERC guidelines of 16 July 2026 give the electricity board 25 days for such a connection, against 10 days below it. In Uttar Pradesh, under the UPERC rooftop solar regulations of 2019, residential users may choose net or gross metering, and the DISCOM allows capacity within transformer limits.

If your roof is like this one

The two questions that decide a system of this size are how much shadow-free roof you have and how many units you use in a month; the system size guide covers both, and the residential solutions page covers the installation itself. Verde Solaire offers a free site evaluation and no-obligation proposal, which is where a structure like this one gets designed. The subsidy guide explains what a home above 3 kW can claim, the announcement of this plant is under updates, and the contact page is the place to ask about your own roof.
