Net Metering Assistance in Uttarakhand
Net metering is what makes on-grid solar financially viable — allowing your bidirectional meter to record both import and export of electricity. In Uttarakhand, UPCL (Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited) processes net metering applications for residential and commercial consumers. UTTsolar handles the paperwork, technical documentation, inspection scheduling and follow-up so you do not navigate DISCOM procedures alone after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Net Metering
What is UPCL net metering and how does it work in Uttarakhand?▼
UPCL Net Metering is a state-approved billing mechanism that connects your rooftop solar plant to the Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited grid using a bi-directional energy meter that records both electricity imported and exported.
How does energy banking and billing credit work under UPCL net metering?▼
Surplus units exported during the day are banked in your account. Your monthly electricity bill reflects Net Units = (Imported Units – Exported Units). Excess exported units roll forward across the financial year settlement cycle.
What is the step-by-step process for getting a UPCL net meter in Uttarakhand?▼
The process involves: 1) Online application on UPCL USRP Portal, 2) Technical feasibility clearance by UPCL junior engineer, 3) Physical solar plant installation, 4) Work completion report submission, 5) Division testing & bidirectional meter installation.
What is the maximum solar capacity I can install under UPCL net metering?▼
Under current Uttarakhand Electricity Regulatory Commission (UERC) regulations, residential consumers can install solar capacity up to 100% of their sanctioned electricity load (subject to local distribution transformer capacity).
How long does the UPCL net metering approval process take?▼
From online USRP application submission to physical net meter installation, the typical timeframe is 2 to 4 weeks. UTTsolar handles the entire paperwork and department coordination to eliminate delays.
What documents are required for UPCL net meter application?▼
You need your latest UPCL electricity bill (with Service Connection / Account ID), Aadhaar Card, property ownership document, solar single line diagram (SLD), and solar module/inverter test certificates (provided by UTTsolar).
Is net metering available for commercial and industrial connections in Uttarakhand?▼
Yes. UPCL provides net metering connectivity for commercial (non-domestic) and industrial HT/LT consumer categories within prescribed voltage and sanctioned load regulations.
Does UTTsolar charge extra for handling UPCL net metering approvals?▼
No. Complete UPCL net metering documentation, portal filing, single-line diagram preparation, and division coordination are fully included in our turnkey installation packages.
