The scheme, explained

The 2026 CEB Solar PV Scheme, in plain language

Households can install up to 10 kWac and offset their bill. Here's what matters.

Rs 3.00

Net-metering export

Credit per kWh you export to the grid. Because you save the retail rate on what you use yourself, self-consumption wins.

Rs 4.20

Gross-metering rate

If you sell all generation instead. Simple, but usually beaten by net-metering for high-usage homes.

10 kWac

Household cap

Maximum system size under the scheme. Above 5 kWac requires a 3-phase connection.

🔋

Mandatory battery

Hybrid systems must include storage covering ~3 hours of evening demand — which doubles as outage backup.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How does the CEB Solar PV Scheme 2026 work?

You install a grid-tied hybrid solar system (up to 10 kWac for households). Your panels offset what you'd otherwise buy from CEB, and any surplus is credited. The 2026 scheme requires a battery that covers around three hours of evening demand.

Do I need a battery?

Yes — under the 2026 scheme a battery is mandatory for hybrid household systems. The upside: that same battery keeps your essentials running during outages and cyclones, so it's protection as well as compliance.

Net-metering vs gross-metering — which is right for me?

Net-metering (export credit Rs 3.00/kWh) almost always wins for high-usage homes, because every unit you use yourself saves the much higher retail rate. Gross-metering (Rs 4.20/kWh) sells everything to CEB and is rarely better. Our calculator compares both for your exact usage.

Can I combine my family's meters?

Many Mauritian households run two or three CEB meters. Consolidating onto one larger system can improve your payback — the calculator's "Combine your accounts" route shows whether it helps in your case.

What happens during a cyclone or outage?

Your battery keeps essential circuits — lights, fridge, internet, fans — running when the grid goes down. System sizing and backup duration are confirmed at the site survey.

How long do solar panels last?

Quality panels carry 25-year performance warranties and lose only a fraction of output per year. We only fit cyclone- and salt-rated equipment suited to Mauritius's climate.
