TSSPDCL Solar Net Metering — Export Rate

Under net metering, TSSPDCL consumers with rooftop solar systems can export surplus electricity to the grid and receive credit at the applicable tariff rate. The solar export price for TSSPDCL is approximately ₹3.14/unit (indicative, subject to TSERC order), as per the latest order from the state electricity regulatory commission.

Net metering settlement in Telangana is done monthly — excess export units are credited at the export rate, and any net import is billed at the prevailing import tariff. Annual settlement of any remaining export credit varies by DISCOM policy.

How Solar Saves Money Under TSSPDCL Tariffs

For a household consuming 300–400 units per month in TSSPDCL area, a 3 kW solar system can offset 300–360 units per month (25 kWh/day average). At current TSSPDCL tariffs, this typically saves ₹1,500–₹3,500/month on the electricity bill, depending on consumption pattern and time of generation.
