Net Metering in Delhi – Rules, Benefits & Complete Process (2026)Introduction: Why Net Metering is a Game-Changer in Delhi

If you’re planning to install solar panels in Delhi, understanding net metering is essential. It’s the key reason why solar becomes not just eco-friendly—but financially smart.

With rising electricity costs and strong government support, net metering allows you to earn back from the grid when your solar system generates extra electricity.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

  • What net metering is

  • Latest rules in Delhi

  • Key benefits

  • Step-by-step application process

What is Net Metering?

Net metering is a billing mechanism that allows you to export excess solar electricity to the grid and get credits on your electricity bill.

Simple Example:

  • Your solar system produces: 10 units

  • Your home consumes: 7 units

  • Extra 3 units → sent to the grid

  • You get credits for those 3 units

At the end of the billing cycle, you only pay for the net units consumed.

Net Metering Rules in Delhi (Latest Updates)

Delhi has one of the most solar-friendly policies in India under the Delhi Solar Energy Policy.

Key Rules:

1. Eligibility

  • Available for residential, commercial & industrial users

  • Must have a grid-connected solar system

2. System Capacity

  • Up to sanctioned load is allowed

  • Typically ranges from 1 kW to 500 kW

3. DISCOM Approval Required

You must apply through your local DISCOM:

  • BSES Rajdhani Power Limited

  • BSES Yamuna Power Limited

  • Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited

4. Bi-Directional Meter

  • A special net meter is installed

  • It records both:

    • Import (grid to home)

    • Export (solar to grid)

5. Billing Cycle

  • Units are adjusted monthly

  • Surplus may be settled annually (as per policy)

Benefits of Net Metering in Delhi

1. Massive Electricity Bill Savings

You only pay for net consumption, reducing bills by 70–90%.

2. Faster ROI on Solar

With net metering, your solar system cost can recover in 3–5 years.

3. Earn from Excess Power

Unused electricity is not wasted—you send it to the grid and get credits.

4. Environment-Friendly

Reduces dependency on fossil fuels and lowers your carbon footprint.

5. Increases Property Value

Homes with solar + net metering are more attractive to buyers.

Installing a rooftop solar system should be simple, transparent, and hassle-free. At SOLAR-MAIT, we follow a streamlined and fast process that ensures your system is installed safely, professionally, and in the shortest possible time — while we also handle all government approvals for you.

Here is a clear breakdown of how the entire journey works.

Solar panel

1. Initial Approval From Government (1–7 Days)

Once you confirm your solar order with SOLAR-MAIT, the first step is to apply for government approval through the official DISCOM/portal.

This includes:

  • Registration on the solar subsidy portal

  • Submitting rooftop details

  • Selecting SOLAR-MAIT as your registered vendor

  • Uploading necessary documents

Our team handles the entire filing process on your behalf.

Approval time: Usually 1–7 days, depending on your state and DISCOM speed.

2. Material Preparation by SOLAR-MAIT (1–2 Days)

As soon as approval is received, we begin preparing the entire solar kit for your home.

This includes:

  • Tier-1 solar panels

  • High-efficiency inverter

  • Mounting structures

  • DC/AC cables

  • Earthing kit

  • Connectors & safety equipment

Since SOLAR-MAIT maintains ready inventory and fast procurement channels, we ensure your material is prepared in 1–2 working days without delays.

3. Dispatch & Delivery to Your Home (1 Day)

Once material preparation is complete, our logistics team arranges quick dispatch.

  • Materials are packed securely

  • Shipped through dedicated delivery partners

  • Delivered safely to your site within 1 day

This ensures your installation process starts immediately without waiting for supplies.

4. Professional Installation on Your Rooftop (1–7 Days)

This is the heart of the entire process.
Our expert EPC team arrives at your location to begin a clean, safe, and structured installation.

The steps include:

Site leveling & structure fitting

Mounting structures are installed based on roof type (RCC/Sheet/Tin/Tile).

Solar panel fixing

Panels are fixed securely at the correct angle for maximum generation.

Inverter installation & wiring

We install the inverter inside your home and complete AC/DC wiring neatly.

Earthing & surge protection

Safety systems ensure long-term system stability.

Testing & quality check

Full inspection is done before system handover.

Installation time:
1–7 days depending on:

  • System size

  • Roof design

  • Wiring distance

  • Weather conditions

Our goal is to always complete work neatly, safely, and efficiently.

Parallel Stage: Government Approval for Stage 2 & Stage 3 (During Installation Period)

While installation is going on, SOLAR-MAIT simultaneously processes your government approvals for:

✔️ Stage 2 – Technical Feasibility

✔️ Stage 3 – Plant Commissioning Request

You don’t need to follow up or visit any office — we handle everything.

This parallel submission saves you weeks of waiting time and speeds up subsidy release.

5. Final Inspection & Plant Approval (7–21 Days After Installation)

Once the installation is completed and testing is done, the government DISCOM team visits your home.

They will:

  • Inspect the solar plant

  • Check inverter, wiring, and safety

  • Verify net-meter readiness

  • Approve the system for commissioning

SOLAR-MAIT coordinates the entire visit so the process remains smooth and stress-free.

6. Net Meter Installation (Same Day or 1–7 Days)

After approval, the government installs your bi-directional net meter.

This allows:

  • Exporting solar units to the grid

  • Generating unit-to-unit credit

  • Reducing your electricity bill up to 90%

7. Subsidy Release by Government (45–90 Days)

Finally, once the plant is commissioned and verified, the government processes your subsidy amount.

Subsidy disbursement time:
45 to 90 days depending on your state and portal load.

You will receive the subsidy directly into your bank account, as per MNRE guidelines.
