Solar Net Metering Policy — What Consumers Should Know
Consumer-friendly summary of net metering policy themes: eligibility, capacity limits, and the importance of approved equipment and DISCO inspection.
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.
Eligibility and capacity
Policy documents typically cap eligible capacity and restrict equipment to certified inverters and protection schemes. Limits evolve—verify the latest published limit for your DISCO before you purchase hardware.
Single-phase and three-phase homes may have different practical ceilings based on service capacity and transformer loading.
Compliance is not optional
Unauthorized connection of generation without approval can violate safety and billing rules. Always follow the formal application path and obtain a sanctioned diagram where required.
