Net Metering in Pakistan

Why Opt for Net Metering in Pakistan?

Net metering is a progressive billing system in Pakistan that rewards solar energy system owners for the surplus power they contribute to the national grid. Imagine this: during peak sunlight hours, your solar PV system might produce more electricity than your household consumes. With net metering, instead of wasting this excess energy, your electricity meter effectively “rolls back,” creating a credit for the surplus power generated. This means that during the night or any other time when your consumption exceeds the solar output, you can utilize these credits. Essentially, you’re billed only for the “net” electricity you consume. The state-of-the-art digital metering system is designed to track power flow in both directions, ensuring you get the most out of your solar investment.

How Does It Work?

For net metering to function, a bi-directional electricity meter is paired with either hybrid or on-grid solar panels. It’s essential that these solar panels are connected to a three-phase electricity setup, allowing the surplus energy to be efficiently fed back into the national grid. The beauty of this system is that you earn credits for every unit of energy you provide to the grid. These credits can then be saved to avail free electricity units, making solar energy not just environmentally friendly but also economically beneficial.

Net Metering Solutions By Ultra Solar Energy

Why Embrace Net Metering in Pakistan?

Net metering, a unique concept in Pakistan, offers a lucrative opportunity for solar system owners. Given Pakistan’s abundant sunlight, solar panels often produce surplus electricity during daylight hours. With Ultra Solar Energy’s net metering-enabled solar systems, you can channel this excess power back to the grid, earning credits on your monthly electricity bill. Recognized and regulated by NEPRA, net metering is a game-changer for both residential and commercial consumers. Here’s a step-by-step guide to our net metering process:

1. Solar System Installation:

Begin your journey with Ultra Solar Energy by installing our net metering-compliant solar systems. We cater to a diverse clientele, from domestic households to large-scale industrial setups.

2. Application Process: 

Once installed, we’ll guide you through the application process as per SRO 892 (1) 2015 regulations, ensuring a seamless experience.

3. Inspection & NOC Issuance:

Upon application approval, the Energy Department will inspect the installation. A successful review will result in the issuance of a No Objection Certificate (NOC).

4. Agreement Formalities:

Next, you’ll enter into a three-year agreement with the local electricity provider, legally permitting you to feed surplus energy to the national grid.

5. Generation License Allotment:

Post-agreement, NEPRA will grant you a generation license, empowering you as an independent power producer for three years.

6. Net Meter Activation:

Finally, with the license in hand, your net meter becomes operational, allowing you to both save and earn from your solar panels.

Benefits of Net Metering with Ultra Solar Energy

Financial Efficiency: Produce your electricity and gain better control over your bills. 

Cost-Effective: Net metering offers long-term savings, making solar energy investments even more appealing.

Optimal Energy Utilization: With net metering, 20%-40% of your solar output can be channeled back to the grid, ensuring no energy wastage.

Earn from Excess: Feed your surplus energy to the national grid and get credited for it.

Grid Reliability: Localized energy production via net metering reduces transmission losses and eases the load on the national grid.

The cost of net metering in Pakistan varies based on the system’s size and type. While industrial setups might incur higher costs due to larger project scales, residential costs are influenced by documentation and processing charges. At Ultra Solar Energy, we ensure competitive net metering rates, making the transition smoother for you.

We offer end-to-end support, from net metering application to activation. Authorised by the Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB), we have a significant share in Pakistan’s net metering landscape. Our footprint spans over 33 cities, reinforcing our commitment to making Pakistan greener. Harness the sun’s power, optimize your energy consumption, and benefit from Ultra Solar Energy’s net metering solutions.
