MUMBAI: The number of consumers having rooftop solar installations for generating green energy has crossed the 1-lakh mark in Maharashtra, MSEDCL managing director Lokesh Chandra said on Wednesday.
Several residential consumers have availed of benefits of rooftop solar and got concessions in the monthly electricity bills through Net metering system.
For instance, if you generated 125 units through solar power in a month, and consumed 300 units a month, you will have to pay for just 175 units (300 minus 125) after deducting units generated by a solar rooftop.
