Net Metering: Concept
What is Net Metering?
Using the net metering mechanism, an individual or commercial user generating their electricity through a solar plant on their premise can export the surplus energy back to the grid.
As per the state's net metering policy, the solar plant must be on-grid, i.e. connected to the main utility grid to export and import electricity.
Net metering uses a bi-directional meter, which helps measure the number of solar units exported to the grid and the number of imported units. The user is billed only for the ‘net’ energy used.
Advantages

Why is Net Metering needed?
In the case of On-grid solar rooftop systems batteries are not provided to store the surplus units. Instead, the surplus units are fed into the grid and through Net Metering mechanism we can identify the units supplied and get benefits for those units in the electricity bill. Therefore, we require Net Metering to maximize our benefits through on-grid solar systems.
