On the ground in Kathmandu —
What's different here.
We've been installing in Kathmandu since 2012. That means we know which buildings on Maharajgunj have reliable earthing, which Patan municipal inspector to call for gate-motor permits, and which Baneshwor electrical suppliers have ULTRASUN stock on a given week. That local knowledge cuts weeks off a typical project.
For home automation, Kathmandu's older housing stock (especially in Kalimati, Kirtipur, and New Road) often has uneven wiring that requires a full audit before we quote. Newer colonies in Hattigauda, Budhanilkantha, and Bhaisepati are usually conduit-ready and install in 1–3 days.
Solar in Kathmandu is complicated by two factors: winter smog cuts effective irradiance by 15–20%, and apartment rooftops are often shared (needing a body-corporate agreement). We handle both — our assessments include a site-specific derate factor, and we'll draft the management-committee consent form for multi-family buildings.
EV charging is the fastest-growing segment in the valley. Over 60% of our 2024 EV installs were in Kathmandu. Underground parking at Durbar Marg, Thamel, and Kamaladi complexes typically needs a 32A dedicated feeder — we coordinate with the building manager and NEA if a new meter connection is required.
Typical project timelines in Kathmandu: home automation 3–7 days, smart security 1–3 days, solar PV 5–10 days, gate automation 1–2 days.
- Nearest NEA office
- NEA Kathmandu Distribution Centre · Ratna Park. Open Sun–Fri 10:00–16:00 for net-metering applications.
- Solar irradiance
- 4.7 kWh/m²/day average (winter dip due to smog)
- Monsoon impact
- June–September: roof-mount installations paused on rain days; indoor automation work continues without delay.
- Typical pricing
- Typical Kathmandu ranges: home automation NPR 120,000–600,000 per apartment; smart-lock-only installs from NPR 25,000; solar PV 3 kW complete from NPR 340,000 before AEPC subsidy; 7 kW gate-motor set from NPR 45,000 installed.
