🔌 Net Metering in India – Everything You Need to Know (2025 Guide)

Power Your Home | Sell Surplus to Grid | Save Big with Sarvayogam Solar

As more Indian households and businesses go solar, net metering has become an essential feature of solar energy systems. It allows solar users to export excess electricity to the grid and earn credits or reduce their electricity bills. With proper net metering, your solar panel system becomes not just a source of free energy but also an income-generating asset.

At Sarvayogam Solar, we help you install net-metered solar systems with complete documentation, DISCOM liaison, and MNRE-approved components.

⚙️ What is Net Metering?

Net metering is a billing system where the electricity you generate from your rooftop solar system is adjusted against the electricity you consume from the grid.

🔄 How It Works:

• During the day, your solar panels generate power.
• If your system produces more than you use, the extra electricity goes to the grid.
• At night or cloudy times, you draw power from the grid.
• Your bill reflects only the net difference between consumption and export.

✅ Benefits of Net Metering

• 💸 Save up to 90% on your monthly electricity bills
• 🌞 Use your solar power first, draw from grid only when needed
• 🔋 Sell surplus energy back to DISCOM
• 📈 Accelerate ROI (3–4 years payback)
• 🏠 Increase home value and make your energy usage sustainable
