Net Metering in Pakistan

A Game Changer for Solar Energy Users

Are you looking to maximize the benefits of your solar panels and minimize your electricity bills? Net metering is the solution you’ve been searching for. At Sun Energy Solutions, we specialize in providing high-quality, affordable net metering services to help you unlock the full potential of your solar system.

How Does Net Metering Work?

The process is simple yet revolutionary. Solar panels often produce more electricity than your home or business consumes during the day. With net metering in place, this surplus energy is sent back to the grid, and you earn credits for it. When your solar panels aren’t generating power—such as at night or on cloudy days—you can use these credits to cover your electricity needs.

Net metering allows you to not only save on electricity bills but also earn from the extra energy your system generates. Considering Pakistan’s ever-increasing electricity costs, this is a smart and sustainable way to reduce your expenses while contributing to a greener future.

Understanding the Net Metering Process

Net metering is a powerful system that allows you to share the excess energy your solar panels generate with the power grid. Here’s how it works:

01.

Installation of a Solar System

To access net metering services, you first need to install a grid-tied solar system, either on-grid or hybrid. These systems allow connection to the national power grid, a prerequisite for net metering.

02.

Application Preparation

Once your solar system is installed, the application for net metering begins. At Sun Energy Solutions, we simplify this process by offering end-to-end support, ensuring a hassle-free experience for our clients.

03.

Inspection and NOC Issuance

The application is then submitted to the relevant authorities, such as the Punjab Energy Department, for inspection and the issuance of a No Objection Certificate (NOC). This step ensures compliance with regulations and standards.

04.

Signing the Agreement

After receiving the NOC, an agreement is signed between you and your regional power company (LESCO, GEPCO, or others). This agreement permits you to export excess solar energy to the grid.

05.

Generation License Allotment

The signed agreement is then submitted to NEPRA for verification. Once approved, NEPRA issues a generation license, officially designating you as an independent power producer.

06.

Activation of Net Metering

With the generation license in hand, net metering is activated, allowing you to save on electricity bills and even earn credits from the energy your solar panels generate.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no easy answer to this since every system can vary. Each system Sun Solar provides is custom-designed to offset the electric costs of the home’s occupants.

Typically, solar systems are designed to cover the cost of an energy bill, though this too can vary. An average range of savings over the over the month of a system is 20,000 PKR to 40,000 PKR.

Going solar reduces greenhouse gas emissions and results in fewer air pollutants like sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, which can cause health problems.

Net metering is the system that utilities use to credit solar energy system owners for the electricity produced by their solar panels. With net metering, you only pay for the electricity that you use beyond what your solar panels can generate.

Southerly-facing roofs with little to no shade and enough space to fit a solar panel system are ideal for installing solar. However, in many cases there are workarounds if your home doesn’t have the ideal solar roof – east and west facing roofs can still produce enough power to make it worth it.

In general, solar panels are very durable and capable of withstanding snow, wind, and hail. Your system should continue to generate electricity for 25 to 35 years with very minor (if any) maintenance issues during that period.
