Electricity Bill Savings with Rooftop Solar — Realistic Expectations
How to estimate savings from solar: self-consumption, import reduction, and net-metering credits—without confusing marketing promises.
Disclaimer: This page is general information only. Tariffs, net-metering rules, and DISCO procedures change—verify with your distribution company and official NEPRA materials before making purchase or wiring decisions.
Where savings come from
Every kWh you self-consume avoids buying that kWh at your current tariff (including variable charges that apply). Every exported kWh may earn a credit or adjustment depending on your net-metering rules and billing cycle.
Savings swing with season, dust, and household habits. Compare year-one estimates with conservative assumptions.
Use your bill as baseline
Pull 12 months of duplicate bills from the official PITC flow to understand monthly kWh and slab trends before you trust a rooftop survey.
Check your electricity bill
