Y2 Solar project case study

10 kW Solar in Safdarjung Enclave, South Delhi under BRPL

Dr. Arun Kumar and Madhu Singh wanted a rooftop solar system for their Safdarjung Enclave home that could reduce electricity bills without disturbing the beauty of their designed terrace area. Y2 Solar planned the system with aesthetics, structure, electrical safety and long-term access in mind.

Location: Safdarjung Enclave, South Delhi
Capacity: 10 kW
System: Residential on-grid solar designed for rooftop aesthetics and safety

What we assessed

A system shaped by the actual site.

Aesthetic panel placement for a premium South Delhi rooftop
Safe structure, inverter and AC/DC protection layout
BRPL net-metering and PM Surya Ghar documentation
Long-term access for cleaning, inspection and maintenance

Project outcome

A practical, evidence-led recommendation.

The system was designed to reduce electricity bills while preserving the look of a well-planned rooftop, with expected generation of around 14,400 units/year and PM Surya Ghar subsidy and GBI support subject to approvals.

Project record

What was actually installed

Customers: Dr. Arun Kumar and Madhu Singh
Location: Safdarjung Enclave, South Delhi
DISCOM: BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL)
System size: 10 kW
Scheme: PM Surya Ghar Yojana
Expected generation: Around 14,400 units/year
Expected subsidy: Rs 1,08,000, subject to approval
Expected GBI: Around Rs 2,400/month for 5 years, subject to eligibility

The aesthetic requirement

The customers had a well-designed rooftop area and did not want solar to feel like an afterthought. The design brief was clear: the system should reduce electricity bills while adding to the rooftop's overall sense of order and finish.

Designing for beauty and performance

Y2 Solar planned the 10 kW array with panel alignment, structure visibility, roof movement and surrounding views in mind. The result is a clean, premium-looking installation that still prioritises generation and serviceability.

Safety-led execution

The installation included planned inverter placement, ACDB/DCDB protection and organized cable routing. These details matter because a good rooftop solar system should look neat, perform reliably and remain safe for everyday rooftop use.

BRPL, PM Surya Ghar and incentives

The plant was installed under PM Surya Ghar Yojana in BSES Rajdhani Power Limited territory. It is expected to generate around 14,400 units per year, with an expected Rs 1,08,000 subsidy and around Rs 2,400 per month as generation-based incentive for five years, subject to eligibility, documentation, policy rules and DISCOM processing.

Project photos and planning

Project photos and planning evidence.

The finished solar array sits cleanly on the rooftop, supporting performance while respecting the terrace's visual character.

The panel rows were aligned to create a neat visual finish while keeping the structure practical for installation and access.

This wider rooftop angle shows the system integrated with the surrounding open views and premium terrace setting.

The elevated structure keeps the solar system visually integrated with the home while leaving the rooftop below organized and accessible.

Electrical safety details, including inverter placement and AC/DC protection boxes, were installed neatly in the service area.

Project FAQ

Questions this project answers.

Can rooftop solar be designed to look premium?: Yes. Aesthetic rooftop solar depends on panel alignment, structure height, cable routing, inverter placement and how the system relates to the existing terrace layout. These choices should be made during design, not after installation.
Is 10 kW rooftop solar suitable for a South Delhi home?: A 10 kW system can be suitable for a high-consumption home when the sanctioned load, roof space, shading, structure and DISCOM feasibility support that capacity. A site survey and bill review should guide the final size.
Does BRPL support rooftop solar net metering?: Eligible customers in BSES Rajdhani Power Limited areas can apply for rooftop solar net metering through the applicable process. Approval depends on documentation, technical feasibility, metering and current policy rules.
What subsidy and GBI can a 10 kW Delhi home expect?: For this project, the expected subsidy is Rs 1,08,000 and the expected GBI is around Rs 2,400 per month for five years. Final payment depends on eligibility, portal approval, DISCOM processing and applicable government rules.
