Net Metering FAQFrequently Asked Questions
What documents are needed for LESCO net metering?
You need a copy of your CNIC, latest paid LESCO electricity bill, property ownership proof, and a system single-line diagram. Our team prepares all technical documentation for you.
How long does the LESCO net metering process take?
The entire application, technical audit, and bi-directional meter installation process typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. We manage all LESCO coordination on your behalf.
What is the minimum system size required for net metering?
LESCO requires a minimum 3kW system with a 3-phase electricity connection to qualify for bi-directional net metering export.
Can solar still make my LESCO bill zero in 2026?
Not usually, and anyone promising a zero bill in 2026 is working from the old rules. The NEPRA Prosumer Regulations, notified on 9 February 2026, replaced net metering with net billing for new connections: imported units are billed at the normal slab tariff, while exported units are bought back at roughly PKR 8.13 instead of the PKR 25.32 legacy rate. A well-sized system still removes most of your bill, mainly by letting you use your own generation during the day rather than by exporting. If your net metering agreement predates 9 February 2026, you keep the old rate until that contract expires.
Is there an extra fee for the green bi-directional meter?
LESCO charges a standard meter fee (approx PKR 25,000–35,000) for testing, supply, and installation of the official bi-directional green meter.
