MVVNL Net Metering Process in Lucknow — Step-by-Step Guide
Table of Contents
Many Lucknow homeowners install rooftop solar panels but remain confused about how to legally export surplus power to the grid. Understanding the net metering process in Lucknow is essential to maximizing your savings and claiming your subsidy.
What is Net Metering?
Net metering allows your bi-directional meter to track both the electricity you consume from MVVNL and the electricity your solar system exports to the grid. At the end of the billing cycle, you only pay for the net difference. If you export more than you consume, MVVNL adjusts it as credit.
6-Step MVVNL Net Metering Process
- Apply on PM Surya Ghar Portal: Register at pmsuryaghar.gov.in using your MVVNL consumer number.
- Feasibility Approval: MVVNL’s Lucknow subdivision reviews your application and grants technical clearance (usually within 15 days).
- Vendor Selection: Choose an UPNEDA-empanelled vendor like Rudransh Solartech.
- Installation & Commissioning: We install the system and upload the Work Completion Report on the portal.
- MVVNL Inspection: A MVVNL engineer visits your premises to verify the installation and install the net meter.
- Meter Activation: Once activated, your meter starts recording import/export data, and your subsidy process begins.
