Solar Panels in Mauritius: The Complete Guide

Mauritius enjoys abundant sunshine year-round, yet most homes and businesses still rely on the traditional electricity grid, where bills can feel as scorching as the tropical heat. Increasingly, however, Mauritians are embracing solar energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels.

But what are the real costs? What benefits can you expect? And how does the installation process work with a trusted professional like Grubbs Energy? This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about solar installation in Mauritius.

Solar power is no longer just a trend, it's a practical necessity. Here are the key reasons for its rising popularity:

• Reduced electricity bills: Solar panels can cut your consumption costs by up to 70%.
• Eco-friendly impact: Every installation lowers CO₂ emissions and combats climate change.
• Increased property value: Homes with solar systems become more attractive on the real estate market.

The Cost of Solar Panels in Mauritius

The price of a solar system varies based on several factors, including installation size, panel type, and whether battery storage is included.

2025 Update to the CEB Solar PV Scheme: Expanded Capacity for Mauritians

On August 16, 2024, the Central Electricity Board (CEB) announced a significant revision to its Solar PV Scheme for domestic customers: the maximum authorized capacity for PV systems has risen from 5 kW to 15 kW.

This change enables households to generate more power, meet higher demands, and prevent the country as a whole from depending on fossil fuels and, most importantly, fighting the nation-wide blackout we’ve been fearing. 

Why This CEB Solar PV Revision Matters

• More power: 15 kW systems are ideal for larger homes or those with high usage (e.g., air conditioning and multiple appliances).
• Greater savings: Higher-capacity setups can reduce bills by 50–80%, based on your consumption patterns.
