INTRODUCTION TO

SOLAR ROOF TOP PV


GENERATION & NET
METERING
OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION

SOLAR ROOFTOP PV GENERATION

NET METERING SYSTEM

NET METERING REGULATION, PROCEDURE


AND REQUIREMENTS
SOLAR ROOFTOP PV GENERATION
KEY COMPONENTS

SOLAR PANELS – CONVERTS SUNLIGHT


INTO ELECTRICITY

INVERTER – AGGREGATES GENERATION


FROM EACH PANEL AND
CONVERTS TO GRID
ELECTRICITY (AC)

BATTERIES – STORES EXCESSIVE


ENERGY FOR LATER USE
SOLAR ROOFTOP PV GENERATION
TYPES
GRID-TIE SOLAR SYSTEM
- EXCESS ELECTRICITY INJECTED TO GRID
- CANNOT BE USED DURING POWER CUTS
- WITHOUT BATTERY BACKUP

GRID-INTERACTIVE SOLAR SYSTEM


- GRID-TIE INCLUDING BATTERY BACKUP
- SOLAR GENERATION FIRST CHARGES
BATTERY AND EXCESS GENERATION IS
SENT TO GRID
- EXCESSIVE GENERATION CANNOT BE
SENT TO GRID DURING POWER CUT
SOLAR ROOFTOP PV GENERATION
TYPES (CONTD.)

OFF-GRID SOLAR SYSTEM


- GENERATED ELECTRICITY IS USED AT
INSTALLED PREMISES ONLY
- WITH BATTERY BACKUP
NET METERING SYSTEM
How it works
 CONSUMERS INSTALL SOLAR PV AND GENERATE
ELECTRICITY
 GENERATED ELECTRICITY IS FED BACK IN TO THE
NATIONAL GRID USING BI-DIRECTIONAL METER
 ELECTRICITY USE OF THE CONSUMER CONTINUE
AS USUAL
 AT THE END OF THE MONTH THE BILL IS
CALCULATED LIKE:
 EXAMPLE OF NET METERING

– TOTAL UNITS CONSUMED – 300 UNITS


– UNITS SENT TO THE GRID - 200 UNITS
– NET PAYABLE = 300 – 200 = 100 UNITS
NET METERING SYSTEM
BI-DIRECTIONAL METER

 BI-DIRECTIONAL METER MEASURES THE FLOW OF


ELECTRICITY IN TWO DIRECTIONS

 ANARROW SIGN INDICATES THE DIRECTION OF


FLOW FOR ELECTRICITY

 BI-DIRECTIONALMETER CAN BE PROGRAMMED


FOR DIFFERENT BILLING RATES
NET METERING REGULATION, PROCEDURE
AND REQUIREMENTS
ELIGIBILITY

 ANYCONSUMER WHO WANTS TO SETUP A SOLAR


ROOFTOP POWER PLANT UP TO A MAXIMUM
CAPACITY OF 1 MW IS ELIGIBLE.

 MAXIMUM LIMIT FOR SOLAR ROOFTOP SYSTEM


SIZE: LIMITED TO SANCTIONED LOAD.

 THREE PHASE METER CONNECTION.


NET METERING REGULATION, PROCEDURE
AND REQUIREMENTS
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED

 APPLICATION TO RESPECTIVE DISCO.


 GENERATION LICENSE FROM NEPRA.
 WIRING TEST REPORT FROM ELECTRIC
INSPECTOR.
 SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF ROOFTOP PV SYSTEM.
 LOCATION OF DISCONNECTOR SWITCH.
 LITERATURE OF PV MODULES AND INVERTERS.
