With electricity rates in Maharashtra crossing ₹8/unit and frequent load shedding in Akola district, farmers and business owners in Shegaon are asking: does solar actually pay off?
The ROI for Local Homes
For a typical 3BHK home in Balapur using 300 units/month, a 3kW rooftop system costs ~₹1.8L after 40% MNRE subsidy. Monthly savings: ₹2400. Payback period: 6.2 years. System life: 25 years. That’s 19 years of free electricity.
Agricultural Pumps: Even Better
Under KUSUM scheme, 5HP solar pumps get 60% subsidy. Your cost: ₹60,000 instead of ₹1.5L. Zero diesel cost, zero electricity bill. Farmers in Shegaon recover investment in 2-3 years.
