One question came up more than once during this Uttam Nagar project: with three telecom towers standing directly behind the terrace, would they interfere with the solar system’s output? On 26 September 2026, Thermosun completed a 3kW rooftop solar installation at this Vijay Vihar property, right beside those towers and near New Holy Public School — a good real-world case to settle that question with an actual working system rather than a guess.
Project Overview & Highlights
This Uttam Nagar East installation sits on a sloped asbestos roof with three telecom towers in the immediate vicinity. Here’s exactly what was delivered:

📡 Short Answer
No. Telecom towers emit radio-frequency signals, not the kind of electromagnetic interference that affects a solar panel’s ability to convert sunlight into electricity. The only real concern with a nearby tower is physical shadow if it sits directly in the sun’s path — which is a structural placement issue, not an electrical one.
For this Uttam Nagar property, the towers stand slightly to one side of the terrace rather than directly overhead, so our site survey confirmed they wouldn’t cast meaningful shade across the array through the day. The panels were positioned and tilted to keep clear of what little shadow the tower structures do cast during early morning and late evening hours — a standard part of any proper rooftop solar installation Delhi survey, whether or not towers are involved.
KSolare Inverter — DC/AC Setup Explained
This installation runs on a KSolare grid-tied string inverter, installed with a dedicated DC panel box (isolator and fuse protection on the array side) and an AC panel box (MCB and isolator on the grid side), both wired through surface conduit for a clean, weatherproof finish.
Net Metering With BRPL Explained
Uttam Nagar falls under BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL), the DISCOM covering most of West Delhi. Thermosun filed the net metering application with BRPL after commissioning, coordinated the inspection, and had the bi-directional meter installed. That meter separately tracks grid consumption and solar export, and BRPL nets the two off at each billing cycle — the mechanism behind the monthly savings below.
Real Savings — What This Home Now Earns
With the array generating power and net metering active through BRPL, here’s the estimated monthly financial picture for this 3kW system:
| Benefit | Monthly Value | Annual Value |
|---|---|---|
| Bill Reduction via Net Metering | ₹2,200 – ₹3,200 | ₹26,400 – ₹38,400 |
| Delhi GBI (₹3/unit generated, up to 3kW slab) | ₹1,000 – ₹1,200 | ₹12,000 – ₹14,400 |
| Total Monthly Financial Benefit | ₹3,200 – ₹4,400 | ₹38,400 – ₹52,800 |
📊 Solar Subsidy for This 3kW System
This installation qualifies for the full ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar central subsidy, plus up to ₹6,000 in Delhi state capital subsidy, on top of the ongoing Delhi GBI incentive.

Questions like “will the tower behind my house cause a problem” are exactly why a proper site visit matters more than a phone quote. Guessing at shadow patterns or electrical interference from a description alone leads to under-performing systems; checking on-site doesn’t. This is the standard we hold every rooftop solar installation Delhi project to, which is a large part of why Thermosun is regarded as the best solar company in Delhi by homeowners who’ve had a site-specific concern like this one addressed properly rather than brushed aside.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do mobile/telecom towers near my roof affect solar panel performance?
No — towers emit radio-frequency signals, which don’t interfere with a solar panel’s electrical output. The only real consideration is physical shadow if a tower sits directly in the sun’s path, which is addressed through panel placement, not electronics.
Can solar be installed on an asbestos or corrugated sheet roof?
Yes, with a tilt-mounted frame raised above the existing roof slope, as done on this Uttam Nagar installation, to achieve the correct panel angle without adding excess load.
Which DISCOM handles net metering in Uttam Nagar?
Uttam Nagar falls under BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL), which covers most of West Delhi. Net metering applications here go through BRPL’s system.
How much subsidy does a 3kW system get in Delhi?
A 3kW system qualifies for the full ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar central subsidy, the maximum available under the current subsidy structure, plus Delhi’s state capital subsidy and GBI incentive on top.
Is KSolare a reliable inverter brand for residential solar?
Yes — KSolare is an MNRE-listed grid-tied inverter brand used across several of Thermosun’s residential installations, including this Uttam Nagar project.
How much can an Uttam Nagar household save monthly with a 3kW system?
Based on this installation, combined bill reduction and Delhi GBI income comes to approximately ₹3,200-₹4,400 per month, depending on actual generation and household consumption.
Conclusion
This Uttam Nagar installation answers a question that comes up more often than most solar companies address directly: nearby telecom infrastructure doesn’t stop a rooftop system from working properly, as long as the site survey accounts for actual shadow patterns rather than assumptions. Getting that detail right, filing correctly with BRPL, and setting up clean net metering is what made this a smooth 3kW installation next to three active towers. For homeowners anywhere in Uttam Nagar or West Delhi with a similar site-specific question about their own roof, a free site survey settles it with an actual assessment rather than a guess.
