Solar panel prices in Mauritius: what you need to know in 2026

The CEB 2026 scheme requires “hybrid” installations: panels and a battery. Here is what to expect budget-wise, and how not to overpay.

The ballpark, straight up

For a complete installation, fitted and connected, expect Rs 60,000 to Rs 90,000 per kWp. For an average family (a 3 kWp system), that means:

Rs 180,000 – Rs 270,000

+ Rs 2,000 CEB application fee, roughly the price of a small second-hand car.

⚠️ Transparency: this range is a working assumption, not a survey of the Mauritian market. We will update it with real quotes. Only installer quotes are binding.

What is inside the price?

A hybrid installation is 4 big items: the panels, the battery (the most expensive and most variable item), the hybrid inverter (the box that converts and routes the power) and the installation work (mounting, wiring, labour).

What pushes the bill up or down:

  • Battery size : the scheme requires at least 3 hours of evening consumption; every extra kWh costs real money.
  • Your roof : sheet metal, concrete or tiles: mounting and installation time differ.
  • Equipment quality : recognised brands and long warranties (10–25 years) cost more… and last longer.
  • Site access : hard-to-reach roof or distant electrical panel = extra hours of work.

Two boosts that lighten the bill

  • The SEIA : the investment is deducted from your taxable income with the MRA. The higher your tax rate, the bigger the saving.
  • CEB scheme revenue : Rs 4.83/kWh if you sell everything, or a melting bill if you consume your own production: see the gross vs net comparison.

4 reflexes before signing a quote

  1. Ask for at least 3 quotes for the same size (kWp) and the same battery (kWh), otherwise you are comparing mangoes and lychees.
  2. Demand the details: brands and models (panels, battery, inverter), written warranties, and who handles the CEB paperwork.
  3. Compare the price per kWp, not the total price, it is the only figure comparable across quotes.
  4. Beware of the very cheap quote with no specified brand and no written warranty: that is usually where trouble starts later.

🔎 Check the source

  • • ceb.mu : official scheme conditions and connection fees.
  • • mra.mu : the Mauritius Revenue Authority, for SEIA details.

Start by finding out the size you need, that is what sets the budget.
