నెట్ మీటరింగ్ అంటే ఏమిటి?

Net metering లో bidirectional meter install అవుతుంది. Solar generate చేసిన excess units grid కి export అవుతాయి. మీరు grid నుండి use చేసిన units - solar export units = net units. Net units కి మాత్రమే bill pay చేయాలి.

Telangana లో net metering application ఎలా?

TSSPDCL/TSNPDCL portal లో online application → technical feasibility study → approval → installation → meter testing → bidirectional meter → commissioning. Total 45-60 days.

Net metering application fee ఎంత?

Application fee nominal — ₹500-1,000. Bidirectional meter cost ₹3,000-5,000 (DISCOM provides or vendor supplies). Sri Ishaan Solar all costs proposal లో include చేస్తుంది.

Excess solar units కి DISCOM ఎంత pay చేస్తుంది?

Excess units year-end settlement. Feed-in tariff ₹2-3/unit (varies). Best strategy: system size optimize చేసి self-consumption maximize చేయడం.

Net metering commercial buildings కి available ఉందా?

Yes. Residential + commercial + industrial — all eligible for net metering in Telangana. System size up to sanctioned load.

Net Metering Process in Telangana 2026 — Step by Step

Updated April 2026 | By Sri Ishaan Solar Team

Solar panels install చేయించాక, net metering ద్వారా మీ electricity bill dramatically తగ్గుతుంది. Telangana లో TSSPDCL / TSNPDCL net metering process, documents, timeline — complete guide.

నెట్ మీటరింగ్ — ఎలా Work చేస్తుంది?

Net metering లో మీ ఇంట్లో bidirectional meter install అవుతుంది:

Daytime: Solar panels electricity generate → ఇంట్లో use → excess units grid కి export
Nighttime: Solar off → grid నుండి electricity import
Billing: Import units - Export units = Net units → Net units కి మాత్రమే bill

Example:

📊 Monthly consumption: 300 units
☀️ Solar generation: 360 units
🏠 Self-consumed: 180 units
⬆️ Exported to grid: 180 units
⬇️ Imported from grid: 120 units
📝 Net bill: 120 - 180 = -60 units (credit!)

Step-by-Step Process — TSSPDCL & TSNPDCL

Step 1: Online Application (Day 1)

TSSPDCL: www.tssouthernpower.com
TSNPDCL: www.tsnpdcl.in

Consumer number, Aadhaar, proposed system size, vendor details upload చేయండి.

Step 2: Technical Feasibility Study (Day 1-15)

DISCOM engineer site visit → transformer capacity check → grid stability assessment → feasibility report.

Step 3: Approval Letter (Day 15-20)

Feasibility positive అయితే approval letter issue. System specifications, conditions mention చేస్తారు.

Step 4: Installation (Day 20-35)

Approved vendor (Sri Ishaan Solar) ద్వారా installation. DISCOM specifications ప్రకారం exact system install.

Step 5: Completion Report (Day 35-40)

Installation complete → completion report + photos + test certificates DISCOM కి submit.

Step 6: DISCOM Inspection (Day 40-50)

DISCOM inspector site visit → system verification → safety compliance check → meter testing.

Step 7: Bidirectional Meter Installation (Day 50-55)

Old unidirectional meter replace → new bidirectional meter install → import/export readings start.

Step 8: Commissioning Certificate (Day 55-60)

Final commissioning certificate issue → net metering officially start → savings begin!
