Net Metering
Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. For example, if a residential customer has a PV system on the home’s rooftop, it may generate more electricity than the home uses during daylight hours. If the home is net-metered, the electricity meter will run backwards to provide a credit against what electricity is consumed at night or other periods where the home’s electricity use exceeds the system’s output. Customers are only billed for their “net” energy use. On average, only 20-40% of a solar energy system’s output ever goes into the grid. Exported solar electricity serves nearby customers’ loads.
LESCO has introduced Solar Rooftop Net Metering System for its valued consumers.
What is Net Metering?
- Allows LESCO consumers to install Renewable Energy Facility not exceeding 1000-kW
- Non consumed electricity gets automatically exported to the National Grid
- Consumers get credit for exported electricity, recorded via bi-directional energy meters
On Average one hundred plus applications for net metering are being submitted to NEPRA every month and its increasing every day. Ride the wave, join the pioneers, and be amongst the rst group of dynamic individuals to benet from this cutting edge emerging technology.
