All IESCO consumers with 3-phase connection are eligible for net metering. This includes residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Your solar system capacity should not exceed your sanctioned load, and you must have proper property documentation. Single-phase connections can be upgraded to 3-phase for net metering eligibility.

IESCO charges approximately PKR 15,000-20,000 for the bi-directional meter and installation. Additional costs include application fees (around PKR 1,000) and any required electrical upgrades. Our service fee covers complete documentation, application filing, and coordination. Total cost typically ranges PKR 20,000-30,000 depending on system size and location.

No, net metering must be done by IESCO approved contractor. We are registered with IESCO and have the necessary approvals to install bi-directional meters and handle the complete net metering process. DIY installations are not permitted and will not be approved by IESCO.

Credits are valid for 12 months. If you still have excess credits after 12 months, they expire, so it's best to size your system appropriately.

Only regular meter rent (around PKR 200-300 per month), no additional fees for net metering. There are no monthly charges for exporting electricity to the grid. You only pay for net consumption (if you consume more than you produce) at regular IESCO rates.
