Q: Does net metering directly reduce solar panel prices?

No, but it dramatically reduces effective cost by increasing financial benefits . A ₨900,000 system becomes effectively ₨200,000 after 25 years considering net metering credits .

Q: <strong>Can I earn money from excess solar generation?</strong>

No, net metering provides bill credits only , not cash payments. You can eliminate bills entirely but cannot profit financially. Battery storage systems provide partial solution by storing excess for peak-hour sale .

Q: What happens if I move to a different DISCO area?

Net metering permissions are DISCO-specific . Moving requires new net metering application with the new DISCO. Existing systems continue operating but lose net metering benefits until approved by new DISCO (typically 30-60 days processing).
