MSEDCL Solar Net Metering — Export Rate

Under net metering, MSEDCL consumers with rooftop solar systems can export surplus electricity to the grid and receive credit. Under MSEDCL net metering, exported solar units are credited against imported units at the retail import tariff rate within the billing month — so the effective 'export rate' equals whichever import slab rate applies, not a separate fixed feed-in price. Note that MSEDCL changed billing rules for solar consumers with sanctioned load above 10kW under its MYT 2026 tariff order — verify current rules for your load before installing.

Net metering settlement for MSEDCL is monthly, with net billing rules revised for loads above 10kW under the MYT 2026 order, as per MERC (Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission) regulations.

How Solar Saves Money Under MSEDCL Tariffs

For a household consuming 300–400 units per month in the MSEDCL area, a 3 kW solar system can offset 300–360 units per month (25 kWh/day average). At current MSEDCL tariffs, this can save a meaningful portion of the electricity bill each month, depending on which consumption slab your usage falls into and your generation profile.
