Solar Export Tariff Calculator — Net Metering Earnings

Net Metering & Export Tariff in India: State-Wise Guide (2026)

When your solar system generates more than you consume, the surplus is exported to the grid. The earning rate depends on your state's net metering policy — ranging from bill credit at import tariff (best deal) to a fixed feed-in tariff (FiT) at a lower rate.
