Solar Banking — Maharashtra
Import/export netting, banked-credit carry-forward and year-end surplus value — Maharashtra (MSEDCL).
With Maharashtra's brutal upper slabs (₹11+ effective), every self-consumed solar unit is gold and every exported one is bronze. The settlement math here shows why Mumbai-Pune systems should be sized to the daytime load, not the roof.
Maharashtra (MSEDCL): MSEDCL nets monthly with annual settlement at the generic tariff; high retail slabs make self-consumption king. The economics in one line: banked units offset retail-priced imports (₹11/kWh) but year-end surplus pays only ₹3 — so size systems to consume, not to farm credits.
Indicative estimates only, not financial or investment advice. Tariffs, subsidies and net-metering rules change — verify with your DISCOM, utility or installer before committing.

Frequently asked questions
How does net metering settlement actually work?+
Each cycle: exports offset imports one-to-one; surplus exports bank forward; deficits bill at retail. At settlement (usually year-end), leftover banked units pay out at the APPC/generic rate — typically ₹2.5–3.5 versus your ₹7–11 retail. This tool runs a cycle exactly as the bill does.
Why are my exported units worth less than imported ones?+
They're worth the SAME until they exceed your consumption — that's net metering's gift. Beyond that, surplus settles at the utility's avoided cost (APPC), not retail. The design intent: compensate self-suppliers fully, but not turn rooftops into merchant power plants on retail tariffs.
Should I size my solar system to maximize exports?+
No — the arbitrage line here shows why: self-consumed and netted units earn retail value (₹7–11); year-end surplus earns APPC (₹2.5–3.5). Size to your annual consumption with seasonal banking in mind; panels beyond that earn a third of the rate the first panels do.
What's the difference between net metering and net feed-in?+
Net metering nets kWh (export offsets import 1:1, money follows); net feed-in nets MONEY — exports earn a fixed feed-in rate immediately, imports bill at retail, no banking. Tamil Nadu-style feed-in shifts the optimization further toward self-consumption; the TN preset runs that math.
