Solar Net Metering in Uttarakhand
Net metering records the power you export to the grid and the power you draw, so surplus solar offsets your consumption.
How it works
A bi-directional meter measures import and export. Billing credits exported units against imports as per applicable regulations; fixed charges still apply.
Typical steps
- Application to the DISCOM with technical details
- Feasibility and approval
- Installation and inspection
- Meter installation and synchronisation
Verify locally
The distribution licensee and the state electricity regulator set the rules, including capacity limits and credit treatment. Confirm current procedures with your local office.
