What Net Metering Is and Why It Pays
Net metering lets you export surplus daytime solar generation to the grid and offset the electricity you import at night. You are billed on the net difference between imported and exported units, which makes it a strong long-term hedge against rising tariffs.
How Long Does IESCO Net Metering Take?
With a complete and compliant application, IESCO net metering typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks from submission to activation.
System Sizing Under Net Metering
The size you can install is tied to your sanctioned load and feeder feasibility, which are confirmed during the site survey before the application is submitted. Choosing the right installer matters here — see our guide to the best solar company in Islamabad and our dedicated net metering service.
