Why is solar payback fastest in Maharashtra?

Maharashtra has some of the highest residential electricity slab tariffs in India (reaching ₹12 to ₹14 per unit for consumption above 300 units). As a result, solar savings in Mumbai and Pune are significantly higher, reducing the payback period to under 3 years!
