Solar in Surat: Local Conditions & What to Expect
Surat, serviced by DGVCL and PASCHIM Gujarat Vij Company, is Gujarat's commercial powerhouse and one of the country's highest electricity consumers per capita. The city's diamond and textile industries create enormous commercial solar demand, and residential awareness has followed. Surat receives 5.5 peak sun hours and has an established installer network. The city's coastal proximity means salt cleaning is important for panel longevity. GUVNL's surplus buyback at ₹2.25 per unit is consistent across the state including Surat.
