Hey everyone! If you’ve been thinking about putting solar panels on your roof, I have some awesome news to share — the rooftop solar net metering agreement has officially been waived, making the entire process faster and paperwork-free.
The government’s flagship project, PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, aims to help millions of homes get rooftop solar power. But there used to be one really annoying problem holding people back: too much paperwork!
The Old Way
In the past, if you wanted to connect your shiny new solar panels to the electricity grid, you had to get a special physical contract printed on Rs. 200 “stamp paper.” You had to fill it out and hand it in, which wasted extra money and caused big delays.
The New Way
The electricity company (MSEDCL) just announced that they are doing away with that old rule! You do not need a physical paper agreement anymore. This great new rule applies to absolutely everyone applying for rooftop solar, whether you are getting government help (a subsidy) or paying for it yourself.
How It Works Now
Now, everything is completely digital! When you apply for your solar panels online through the Now, everything is completely digital! When you apply for your solar panels online through the PM Surya Ghar portal, the agreement is right there on the screen. You just click to accept it directly on the website — no printing, no signing, no visiting an office.
Why Is This So Great?
The main goal of this change is to get rid of boring delays and make the whole process super fast. By cutting out the physical paperwork, families can get their solar panels working and start making their own clean electricity much sooner!

Is this applicable across Maharashtra?
Yes, the directive applies to all MSEDCL O&M Circles across Maharashtra.
Do I still need to sign anything?
