How Net Metering Works in Gujarat: A Complete Guide

Net metering is the mechanism that makes rooftop solar financially attractive for most homes and businesses. When your solar system generates more electricity than you're consuming, the surplus is exported back to the grid through a bi-directional meter, and you receive credit for those units.

In the Kodinar and Gir Somnath region, PGVCL (Paschim Gujarat Vij Company) handles the net-metering application process. The broad steps are similar across Gujarat: system installation, application submission with technical documents, a meter inspection, bi-directional meter installation, and finally commissioning approval.

At Adinath Solar Energy, we handle the entire net-metering application on your behalf as part of every EPC contract — from document preparation to liaising with the DISCOM inspection team — so you don't have to navigate the paperwork yourself.

Once commissioned, your monthly electricity bill reflects the net units consumed (units drawn minus units exported), and any annual surplus credit is typically settled at the DISCOM's average power purchase cost.
