Net Metering & Subsidy Guide
Residential Rooftop Solar in Maharashtra
Adopting solar power on your home not only reduces your electricity bills but also helps you contribute to a cleaner and greener future. In Maharashtra, the state and central governments support residential rooftop solar through net metering benefits and attractive subsidies under official schemes.
What Is Net Metering?
Net metering is a billing mechanism that enables you to send surplus solar electricity generated from your rooftop system back to the grid and receive credits against your future power consumption.
When your solar system produces more energy than your home consumes during the day, the excess flows into the grid. During evenings or low-sun hours, this credited energy helps offset your usage, reducing your electricity bill.

Government Subsidy for Residential Rooftop Solar
Homeowners in Maharashtra can also avail central government subsidies to reduce the upfront cost of rooftop solar systems.
Typical Subsidy Structure under PM Suryaghar Muft Bijli Yojana:
₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW
₹18,000 per kW for additional capacity up to 3 kW
Maximum subsidy capped ₹78,000 for systems 3 kW and above
These subsidies are credited directly into your bank account once your solar installation and commissioning are verified.
Subsidy applies only to grid-connected systems and must be claimed through the official National Rooftop Solar Portal.
