Mumbai · Maharashtra
Mumbai’s electricity map is split. Adani Electricity, Tata Power, BEST, and MSEDCL each run their own net-metering path. Central PM Surya Ghar CFA is the same — process and society NOCs are not.
High tariffs and year-round coastal sun make Mumbai interesting for rooftop solar, but flats on shared terraces hit a different bottleneck: society resolution / NOC and the correct utility portal. Sealix starts with your monthly bill check so you know whether the money is even worth the paperwork.
Residential central CFA follows the national bands — commonly ₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / up to ₹78,000 for eligible 1–3 kW+ systems — claimed via pmsuryaghar.gov.in after DISCOM process and commissioning. Maharashtra does not automatically add a statewide extra CFA on every home; treat any “state bonus” claim as something to verify with MAHAURJA / your DISCOM, not a flyer.

Read the logo and consumer number format on your last bill — do not guess from the neighbourhood name alone.
Feasibility queues, deemed-approval rules for smaller plants, and net-meter agencies differ. An installer empanelled for MSEDCL Pune is not automatically the right path for your Adani Mumbai connection.
If panels sit on a common terrace, most societies need a written resolution and NOC before DISCOM / portal steps complete. Exclusive terrace rights (rare) still need clear ownership documents. Budget time for AGM / managing committee cycles — this often dominates calendar delay more than panel lead time.
Coastal humidity and monsoon reduce annual yield versus dry inland cities. Salt air raises the bar on structure and component quality (installer responsibility). Payback after CFA still hinges on your bill slab and how much daytime load the plant offsets — which is why we push the free check before site visits.
