Not every homeowner wants to size their solar system for today’s electricity bill alone. On 29 September 2026, Thermosun completed a 3kW rooftop solar installation in Block A, Inderpuri, for a homeowner planning to add a second floor within the next few years. Rather than wiring a single-circuit system that would need to be partly redone later, Thermosun designed the electrical infrastructure across two separate inverter circuits from day one — a decision that’s easy to miss in a photo but makes a real difference down the line.
Project Overview & Highlights
This Inderpuri installation sits on a tall, carport-style elevated structure over a modern terrace with glass railings. Here’s exactly what was delivered:
Planning to Expand Your Home Later?
A solar installation company Delhi homeowners can rely on should design for your future, not just today’s bill. A free site survey covers both.

Most 3kW residential systems run on a single inverter — there’s usually no technical need for two on a system this size. Here, the homeowner mentioned plans to build an additional floor in the coming years, which would mean more household load and room on the roof for more panels later.
🔌 Designing for “Not Yet” Instead of Just “Right Now”
Thermosun split the electrical layout across two separate inverter circuits, each with its own DC and AC panel box, even though the current 3kW array doesn’t strictly need it. The advantage shows up later: when the homeowner adds more panels after the second floor is built, the second circuit is already in place and simply gets connected to new panels, rather than requiring an electrician to rewire the existing system from scratch. It’s a small additional cost now that avoids a much bigger one later.
This kind of planning-ahead approach is something a phone quote or a template-based installer typically won’t offer, since it requires actually discussing the homeowner’s longer-term plans during the site visit rather than just measuring the current roof.
A Tall Carport-Style Structure Over a Modern Terrace
The terrace itself has a glass balustrade and finished flooring, closer to a usable outdoor living space than a bare utility roof. Thermosun built a tall elevated steel structure — closer to a carport in height than a typical solar frame — so the terrace below remains fully usable for the homeowner’s daily use, with the panels sitting well clear overhead.
Net Metering With BRPL Explained
Inderpuri falls under BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) territory. Thermosun filed the net metering application with BRPL after commissioning, coordinated the inspection, and had the bi-directional meter installed — the meter that records both grid consumption and solar export, netted off against each other at every billing cycle.
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. When the homeowner expands the system later, any additional capacity would be assessed for subsidy separately under whatever scheme is active at that time. For the current confirmed figures versus what’s still pending, see our Delhi Solar Subsidy 2026 guide.

Asking a homeowner about their plans for the next five years, and then actually designing the electrical layout around that answer, isn’t something every installer bothers to do — it’s easier to just quote the current roof and move on. That extra step is a meaningful part of why Thermosun is regarded as the best solar company in Delhi among homeowners who want solar for home installations that hold up over time, not just at handover. Every rooftop solar installation Delhi project we take on gets this same level of actual conversation before a single panel goes up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a solar system be designed to expand later without rewiring?
Yes — by installing separate inverter circuits sized for future capacity from the start, as done on this Inderpuri project, so new panels can be added to the second circuit later without disturbing the existing system.
Should I size my solar system for my current bill or future plans?
It depends on your timeline. If you’re planning a home addition or expecting higher future consumption, discussing this during the site survey lets the installer design the electrical layout to accommodate that, often at a small additional cost now versus a larger one later.
Which DISCOM handles net metering in Inderpuri?
Inderpuri falls under BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL). Net metering applications for this area 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, plus up to ₹6,000 in Delhi state capital subsidy, with Delhi’s GBI adding ongoing per-unit income for 5 years.
If I expand my system later, does it qualify for subsidy again?
Additional capacity added later is typically assessed separately under whatever subsidy scheme is active at that time — it isn’t automatically covered by the original application.
How much can an Inderpuri 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 Inderpuri installation shows that a good solar design isn’t only about the panels going up today — it’s also about not boxing the homeowner into an expensive rewire later. Discussing future plans at the site survey stage, and designing the electrical circuits accordingly, is a detail easy to skip but expensive to fix afterward. For homeowners anywhere in Delhi who know they’ll want to expand their home or their solar system down the line, a free site survey is the right place to bring that up before anything gets installed.
