Introduction
Net metering has become a game-changer for Jaipur’s solar power adopters. It allows households and businesses to earn credits for excess electricity generated by their rooftop solar systems, significantly boosting savings. GreatSun Power Pvt Ltd explains how net metering works in Rajasthan and how you can maximize your benefits in 2025.
What is Net Metering?
Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. For example, if your solar panels produce more power than you consume during the day, the surplus energy is fed back to the grid, and your electricity bill is adjusted accordingly.
How Net Metering Works in Rajasthan
-
Your solar system is connected to the grid through a bi-directional meter (net meter).
-
During periods of excess generation, the meter runs backward, giving you credit.
-
When your system produces less (like nights or cloudy days), you draw power from the grid, using previous credits to offset costs.
-
At the end of the billing cycle, you pay only for the net electricity consumed (total consumed minus total generated).
