2 kW Solar System Price in Maharashtra (2026), With Subsidy

A 2 kW rooftop solar system in Maharashtra costs roughly ₹1.1–1.5 lakh before subsidy. With the central PM Surya Ghar subsidy (₹60,000) the cost after subsidy is roughly ₹50,000–90,000. We could not verify a generally availableMaharashtra state cash top-up, so none is included (see the note below). Indicative ranges to check a quote against, not a quote.

State SMART Solar scheme covers only 1 kW for households under 100 units a month

Maharashtra’s Swayampurna Maharashtra Residential Rooftop Solar (SMART) scheme, announced by Government Resolution on 6 October 2025, is for households using under 100 units a month. It is described as covering a 1 kW system (about 120 units a month, estimated cost ₹50,000) with a state amount on top of the central ₹30,000: ₹17,500 for BPL households (95% subsidy in total, consumer pays ₹2,500), ₹15,000 for SC/ST households (90%) and ₹10,000 for other economically weaker households (80%). The reported allocation is ₹330 crore for 2025-26 and ₹325 crore for 2026-27, with MSEDCL as the nodal agency. These figures come from newspaper coverage of the resolution; MahaUrja’s own homepage did not show the scheme when we checked, so confirm eligibility and how to apply with MSEDCL. Households using more than 100 units a month, and larger systems, get the central subsidy only — which is what our headline totals use. The 1 kW price page shows the SMART amounts as a separate scenario.

If you qualify for the state SMART scheme (1 kW, under 100 units a month)

Households with monthly consumption below 100 units — BPL, SC/ST or other economically weaker — for a 1 kW system.

The SMART scheme is described as covering 1 kW systems only, so this size gets the central subsidy alone.

PM Surya Ghar subsidy window: 31 March 2027

The ₹78,000 central residential subsidy is sanctioned through the end of FY 2026-27 (31 March 2027). Apply and get commissioned well before this date. No extension has been officially notified; MNRE has indicated the one-crore-household target may fall short by March 2027, which makes an extension plausible but not assured — plan around the published date.

How the Subsidy Works for 2 kW in Maharashtra

Central: ₹60,000 under PM Surya Ghar — the same everywhere in India.
Maharashtra: Maharashtra has no generally available state cash top-up that we could verify, so the central subsidy is the only amount used in the headline figures.
Compared with the India guide: the subsidy and cost after subsidy are the same as the 2 kW India price guide. What differs in Maharashtra is how much the system generates, and so the payback below.

What You Pay and How Fast It Pays Back

A 2 kW system in Maharashtra (about 5.2 peak sun hours) generates around 2,961 units a year. Payback below is the cost after the central and state subsidy divided by the yearly bill saving, from the low to the high end of the cost band.

Your rate	Yearly saving	Payback
₹6 per unit	₹17,765	2.8 – 5.1 years
₹8 per unit	₹23,687	2.1 – 3.8 years
₹10 per unit	₹29,609	1.7 – 3 years

Net metering in Maharashtra: Net metering up to 10 kW is fast-tracked; a Grid Support Charge applies above 10 kW (moderate confidence, checked October 2026). Surplus is generally bought below the retail tariff, so these paybacks assume you use most of what you generate. See the Maharashtra subsidy page for the details.

How to Claim in Maharashtra

Register on the national portal (pmsuryaghar.gov.in) with your DISCOM and consumer number — MSEDCL for most of the state, or Adani Electricity, Tata Power or BEST in Mumbai.
Choose an installer empanelled with your DISCOM, and ask for the DCR certificate for the exact module model.
If your household uses under 100 units a month, ask MSEDCL about the state SMART scheme (reported for 1 kW systems) before you order — eligibility depends on your category.
Net metering up to 10 kW is reported to be fast-tracked by MSEDCL. After commissioning and inspection the central subsidy is paid by direct benefit transfer.

Process as reported and checked October 2026; portals and rules change, so confirm each step with the official portal. State nodal agency: MEDA (Maharashtra Energy Development Agency).

What Your Quote Should Include

Module make, model and wattage — and written confirmation of ALMM listing and DCR status for that exact model, because the subsidy needs domestically manufactured modules.
Inverter make, rating and warranty term, and whether arc-fault (AFCI) protection is included and switched on.
Mounting structure: steel grade, thickness, galvanising, and the wind speed it is designed for.
DC and AC cable sizes, earthing and lightning protection, and surge protection — the items that get cut when a quote is cheap.
Net meter, DISCOM approval and inspection charges, and whether the installer handles the subsidy paperwork.
Who services the system, for how long, and what the warranty covers in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of a 2 kW solar system in Maharashtra with subsidy?

Using our indicative cost band, a 2 kW residential system costs roughly ₹1.1–1.5 lakh before subsidy. With the ₹60,000 central subsidy, the cost after subsidy is roughly ₹50,000–90,000; we have not added any Maharashtra state amount because we could not verify one. Quotes vary with brand, structure and roof, so compare at least three written quotes.

How much subsidy does a 2 kW system get in Maharashtra?

₹60,000 from the central scheme. Maharashtra has no generally available state cash top-up that we could verify, so the central subsidy is the only amount used in the headline figures. As of October 2026, the central scheme runs to 31 March 2027.

Is there a Maharashtra state subsidy for rooftop solar?

For most households, we could not verify a general state cash top-up, so this page uses the central subsidy. Maharashtra’s SMART scheme, announced in October 2025, is reported to add ₹10,000–17,500 for 1 kW systems for households using under 100 units a month (BPL, SC/ST or other economically weaker). Ask MSEDCL whether you qualify and how to apply.

How many units will a 2 kW system generate in Maharashtra?

About 2,961 units a year (roughly 247 a month), using 5.2 peak sun hours for Maharashtra and a 78% performance ratio. Shading, orientation and cleaning change the real figure.

Which DISCOMs handle rooftop solar in Maharashtra?

MSEDCL, Adani Electricity (Mumbai), Tata Power (Mumbai), BEST. Applications go through the national PM Surya Ghar portal, which routes them to your DISCOM for feasibility approval and net metering.
