Net Metering

Net metering is a billing system that allows solar energy system owners to receive credits for the excess electricity they generate and feed back into the grid. This innovative mechanism helps you save on your electricity bills by allowing you to “sell” surplus solar energy to the national grid. Whether you’re a residential, commercial, or industrial consumer, net metering is an efficient way to maximize your investment in solar power.

Net metering involves the use of a bi-directional meter that tracks both the electricity consumed from the grid and the excess electricity generated by your solar system that is sent back to the grid. This is particularly beneficial in Pakistan, where abundant sunlight allows solar panels to produce more energy during the day than you might need. The extra energy is exported to the grid, and you receive credits against your energy consumption, effectively reducing your electricity bills.

• Lower Electricity Bills: By generating your own power and exporting the excess, net metering allows you to significantly cut down on your electricity costs.
• Earn Credits: The surplus energy you produce doesn’t go to waste. Instead, it is credited to your account, which can be used to offset your future electricity usage.
• Control Over Billing: Net metering not only lets you produce electricity but also gives you greater control over your billing process, ensuring the most efficient use of your solar PV panels.
• Environmental Impact: By using solar power, you reduce your carbon footprint, decrease reliance on fossil fuels, and contribute to a greener environment.
• Enhanced Energy Independence: Net metering allows you to become more self-sufficient in meeting your energy needs, reducing your reliance on traditional power sources.

• Installation of Solar System: The first step is installing a net metering-compliant solar system. At FAA Solar Solutions, we cater to all sectors, offering systems from small-scale residential units to large industrial setups.
• Preparation of Application: After installation, we assist you in preparing your application as per the regulations set out by NEPRA. Our team supports you through every step, making the process smooth and hassle-free.
• Inspection & NOC Issuance: Once your application is submitted, the Energy Department conducts an inspection of your system. Upon satisfactory inspection, you will receive a No Objection Certificate (NOC).
• Signing of Agreement: You will then sign a three-year agreement with the local utility company, such as LESCO, allowing you to feed surplus energy to the grid legally.
• Allotment of Generation License: The agreement is forwarded to NEPRA, which issues a generation license, officially recognizing you as an independent power producer.
• Activation of Net Meter: Finally, your net meter is activated, enabling you to save money and earn credits simultaneously by feeding excess electricity back into the grid.
