The biggest barrier to going solar is upfront cost. But in 2026, Maharashtra residents have access to 3 major subsidies that can cut your cost by 40-60%. Here's how to claim them.
1. MNRE Rooftop Subsidy - 40% Off
For residential systems 1kW to 3kW, the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy gives 40% direct subsidy. For 3kW+ to 10kW, it's 20%. This applies to all homes in Balapur and Shegaon.
- 3kW system market price: ₹1,80,000
- 40% subsidy: ₹72,000
- Your cost: ₹1,08,000
2. KUSUM Scheme for Farmers - 60% Subsidy
If you have an agricultural electricity connection, KUSUM Component-B gives 60% subsidy on solar pumps up to 7.5HP. Zero electricity bill forever.
3. MEDA Net Metering Benefits
Maharashtra Energy Development Agency allows you to sell excess power back to MSEDCL at ₹3.50/unit. Your meter literally runs backwards during day.
