Solar in Ahmedabad: Local Conditions & What to Expect
Ahmedabad receives 5.6 peak sun hours daily and is one of India's highest-irradiance major cities. Serviced by DGVCL and UGVCL under GUVNL, Ahmedabad has a well-developed net metering framework. The city's extreme summer heat (45–48°C in May) slightly reduces panel efficiency by 4–6%, but this is more than offset by the exceptional irradiance. Industrial areas like Naroda and Vatwa drive commercial solar demand. The residential sectors of Satellite, Prahlad Nagar, and Science City are active markets for 3–5kW residential systems.
