The CEB Household Rooftop Solar Scheme allows homeowners in Mauritius to install rooftop solar systems and connect them to the national grid. Eligible systems can be up to 10 kW, with the option of net metering or gross metering, subject to CEB approval and local network capacity.
The scheme is open to eligible CEB residential customers installing solar at their home. Applicants must meet the required technical and administrative requirements, including providing the necessary ownership, electrical and installation documents.
Under the current household scheme, residential solar systems can be approved up to 10 kW. The final approved capacity depends on your property's electrical installation, compliance with CEB requirements and the available capacity of the local electricity network.
Eligible homeowners may receive a grant covering 25% of the eligible system cost, up to a maximum of Rs 75,000. The grant is subject to eligibility requirements and approval by the relevant authorities.

With net metering, excess solar energy offsets the electricity you import from the grid. With gross metering, all the electricity generated by your solar system is exported to the grid and credited at the applicable feed-in tariff, while your household consumption is billed separately.
Under the current household scheme, the amount of electricity exported to the CEB grid is limited to 50% of your approved system capacity. Your inverter settings are configured to comply with this requirement.
Warranty coverage depends on the specific panels, inverter, battery and other equipment selected. Enovra clearly explains the manufacturer's product warranties as well as the workmanship warranty included with your installation.
