What net metering does

A net meter tracks two directions of electricity flow: the power you draw from the grid, and the surplus power your solar system exports back to it. Your bill is then calculated on the net difference between the two, rather than your total consumption alone.

Why it matters for your savings

On a sunny day, a well-sized system can generate more than a home uses during daylight hours. Without net metering, that surplus would simply be wasted. With it, the exported units offset the power you draw at night or on cloudy days, which is what makes solar economics work for most homes.

The typical process

After installation, your system is inspected and commissioned, a net meter is installed by your electricity distribution company (DISCOM), and the connection is formally approved before the system is allowed to export power to the grid. Timelines vary, so it helps to have a team that manages this coordination for you.

We manage this for you

From application to final approval, Sunrise Technologies liaises directly with the DISCOM on your behalf, so the net-metering step doesn’t become a source of delay or confusion after your panels are already up.
