Net metering is the system that makes on-grid solar so profitable — yet most homeowners don't fully understand it. This guide explains how it works and how Sunvera Energy handles the entire process for you.
What Is Net Metering?
A bi-directional meter records both the energy you import from the grid and the excess solar energy you export to it. You are billed only on the net difference.
A Simple Example
- Your home consumes 400 units in a month.
- Your solar system generates 350 units; 150 are used directly at home.
- 200 units are exported to the grid.
- You import 250 units at night. Net billed: 250 − 200 = just 50 units.
The Application Process
- Net metering application to your DISCOM with solar system details.
- Feasibility check of your connection and transformer capacity.
- Installation of the bi-directional meter after system commissioning.
- Joint inspection and grid synchronisation.
Documents Typically Required
- Latest electricity bill and consumer number
- Identity and address proof
- Solar system technical specifications (provided by your EPC)
- Electrical safety compliance certificates
