The solar project subsidy in Maharashtra is managed by MEDA. Maharashtra’s installed solar energy capacity now accounts for more than 1800 MW and rooftop solar is near 230 MW. It has the fourth-highest installed rooftop solar power generation capacity across the country. The state is strengthening its policy of providing financial assistance for using solar energy in cottage and micro industries.
Required documentation is needed to submit to MEDA online by a developer on behalf of the eligible customer. Following the provisional approval, the completion report needs to be submitted. After that site visit and site inspection is done by the officials. After all these formalities, the subsidy amount is directly deposited to the customer’s account within 2-3 months of issuing the grant letter.
How & how much subsidy on solar can be availed?
Subsidy/Support is available from Central Government through MNRE.
The subsidy available on the installation of grid-connected solar rooftop power plants is 30% of the benchmark cost. Government institutions including PSUs shall not be eligible for the subsidy. Instead, they will be given achievement-linked incentives/awards. All residential and institutional buildings such as schools, health institutions, etc. and the social sector can avail CFA.

Our Society installed a 6KW rooftop solar system in 2019-20 at a cost of Rs 3.97 Lakh approximately. The subsidy for the system was never announced by the Govt and we kept waiting for it. But it kept getting delayed. Contacting MEDA, MNRE, MSEDCL did not help. Our application was not even accepted. However, we went ahead with the installation without subsidy, to save energy at the earliest. Our system started functioning from 18 Jan 2021 and is feeding the grid through Net Metering System. However, we must be given the subsidy with retrospect since it was not our fault that the Govt and concerned agencies did not take -any action on the subsidy issue during COVID. Requesting MNRE to take immediate action to accept our request for subsidy.
