Solar Net Metering in Pakistan

Export surplus power to the grid and offset your bill — we manage the entire NEPRA/DISCO application for you.

Net metering

Get paid for the power you don’t use

Net metering lets your grid-tied solar system export surplus electricity to the national grid, spinning your meter backwards and offsetting your bill. SNM handles the entire NEPRA and DISCO process end to end.

  • Full application filed with your DISCO (LESCO, K-Electric, IESCO, MEPCO, GEPCO & more)
  • Bidirectional meter installation coordinated for you
  • Correctly sized on-grid system to maximise export credit
  • Transparent timeline and status updates throughout

How net metering works in Pakistan

Under NEPRA’s net-metering regulations, homes and businesses with systems from 1kW up to 1MW can connect to the grid and receive credit for surplus units exported. During the day your panels power your loads and send extra units to the grid; at night you draw from the grid, and the exported units offset what you consume.
