PVVNL Solar Net Metering — Export Rate

Under net metering, PVVNL consumers with rooftop solar systems can export surplus electricity to the grid and receive credit. Under PVVNL's 2025 net metering revision, domestic consumers receive approximately ₹3.26/unit for exported solar units under Net Metering and ₹3.65/unit under Net Billing. Surplus units are carried forward monthly and settled annually at the APPC (Average Power Purchase Cost) rate, roughly ₹3–4/unit. UPERC sets a uniform tariff structure applicable across all four UP DISCOMs (PVVNL, MVVNL, DVVNL, PUVVNL).

Net metering settlement for PVVNL is monthly netting with annual settlement of any carried-forward surplus at APPC, as per UPERC (Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission) regulations.

How Solar Saves Money Under PVVNL Tariffs

For a household consuming 300–400 units per month in the PVVNL area, a 3 kW solar system can offset 300–360 units per month (25 kWh/day average). At current PVVNL tariffs, this can save a meaningful portion of the electricity bill each month, depending on which consumption slab your usage falls into and your generation profile.
