UP hits 800 MW rooftop solar capacity, eyes 1,000 MW goal

Uttar Pradesh has achieved 800 MW of installed rooftop solar capacity as of September 2025, marking major progress towards its target of generating 1,000 MW through rooftop solar plants by the end of the year under the National Energy Development Agency (NEDA).

So far, over 2.39 lakh rooftop solar systems have been installed across the state. Unlike Rajasthan, which utilises large stretches of wasteland for solar projects, UP has focused on rooftop and distributed systems due to limited land availability.
