Net-metering an emerging revolution in Indian

Every home can become a power plant Net metering based rooftop solar projects facilitate the self-consumption of electricity generated by the rooftop installation and allows for feeding the surplus into the grid. Solar powered homes can now become generators of energy not only for their own consumption, but also for usage by other consumers. This is possible by connecting the solar panels installed to the local main grid where the excess units can be transmitted to other users. Net Metering is an electricity policy designed for users of roof-top based panels to self generates power for their own consumption primarily and thereafter allows their electric meters to run backwards and send the extra power generated back to the main grid. Net metering allows the solar PV system owner to sell excess solar power generated to the utility company or buy deficit power from the utility company using a bi-directional meter to track this energy exchange. Hence, it balances out ...
