NET METERING
Everyone wants to get maximum benefits out of their solar panels and pay very little or no electricity bill, right? But the question is how is this possible?
Well, one of the easiest way to achieve this is by adding net metering to your existing solar system. ABDULLAH SOLAR is an expert at it by providing high quality and yet affordable net metering rates in Pakistan.so, you wonder how does the system work and provide benefit to its customers?
The process is quite straightforward. In most of the cases, solar panels produce more electricity than you required usage? So where does the extra produced electricity go? now if you have the net metering in place, the extra generated energy is automatically sent back to the grid.
What does user get in return?
You earn credits against every unit to sell to the NEPRA. And when your solar panels aren’t producing energy at night or during the rain or winter days, you can use those credits to cover your electricity needs. Please note that the electricity you sell back to the grid and the electricity you use at night or whenever your energy needs exceed the limit of your solar production both have different rates, which depend on the region’s own electricity rules and regulations. Considering how high electricity prices are in Pakistan, adding net metering is a super convenient solution to tackle those hefty billing issues.
How Net Metering works in Pakistan?
The net metering in Pakistan is available for only grid tied system: on grid or hybrid, because the requirement to install net meter is you must be connected to the main grid in order to get the benefit of net metering.
Here’s how it works
The power company installs a special meter called a net meter or green meter at your place, and this meter can measure both the electricity you use and the extra electricity your panels send back to the grid.
Although, the electricity provider company, in most cases, only install the single meter, but they can also install two separate meters. but usually, it’s just one that checks both the import and export of electricity.
You might be confused, why two different meters as mentioned earlier, this is an exceptional when the electricity company installs two separate meters. And here is why they will install two different meters. one to keep track of the electricity you buy from the power company, and the other one monitors the electricity your panels send back.
NET METERING PROCESS
Net metering is an incredible device that lets you share surplus energy with the power grid. Here’s how it works: when your solar panels produce more electricity than you require during the day, the excess power is sent back to the grid. Then, during nighttime when your solar panels aren’t generating electricity, you can draw energy from the grid using the credits earned from your exported energy, effectively reducing your costs. With a properly installed system, you can generate sufficient solar energy to meet all of your electricity needs throughout the year, eliminating the need to pay electricity bills. It’s a fantastic way to both save money and contribute to a greener future.
