The central government through MahaVitaran is offering subsidies of up to 40 percent to domestic consumers including households, housing societies and residential welfare associations for rooftop solar power systems. While domestic consumers are getting up to 40 percent subsidies for solar power systems ranging from one to three KW loads, systems of three to 10 KW loads can avail of 20 percent subsidies.
Rajendra Pawar, the chief engineer of the Pune Circle of MahaVitaran, said, “We emphasised the financial benefits of rooftop solar power projects such as reducing electricity bills. The initial investment can be recovered within four to five years, and the benefits can last for approximately 25 years. Surplus electricity generated can be sold back to MahaVitaran through net metering.”
