How Net Metering Works in Pakistan

Net metering is a billing mechanism that allows solar system owners to sell excess electricity back to the grid. Here's how it works in Pakistan:

The Process

1. Install a solar system with a grid-tied or hybrid inverter
2. Apply to your DISCO (LESCO, FESCO, IESCO, etc.) for net metering
3. Get a bi-directional meter installed by the DISCO
4. Export excess power during the day and import at night
5. Pay only the difference on your monthly bill

Benefits

• Zero electricity bills possible with proper system sizing
• Credits carry forward for up to 12 months
• No battery needed (grid acts as your battery)
• Lower system cost compared to hybrid systems

Requirements

• Minimum 1KW system
• Maximum up to your sanctioned load
• Licensed installer (like SunChaser Energy)
• NEPRA-approved equipment

Timeline

The entire process takes 30-60 days from application to meter installation.
