the net-feed in mechanism
C
Domestic consumers who have been provided with the solar net-
feed-in facility as per TNERC Order No.3 of 2019 shall have option
to migrate to the solar energy net metering mechanism as provided
for in this order to avoid discrimination within the same category of
consumers
Net billing or net feed-in:
All electricity consumer categories (except hut and agriculture) irrespective

to a maximum capacity of 999 kW
B
LT consumers are not eligible for gross metering
C
New generators who are not existing consumers but desire to set up GISS
in a premise or an open area and sell entire generated power to Licensee
are eligible for gross metering mechanism up to a maximum capacity ofW
The sanctioned load / contracted demand do not arise for such
cases for the purpose of capping the plant capacities applied
D
Provided that the installation of gross-metered GISS on the eligible
consumer/generator premises intending to inject its total generated power
into the grid shall use separate service line for the purpose of evacuation
of power
The service line shall be connected to the nearest HT feeder
without having to be extended till the sub-station
E
A separate service connection is not required for purpose like security in
night hours etc
The same can be drawn from the existing power
evacuation system itself
The import energy shall be billed under HT
Industrial Tariff for energy alone
No demand charge to be levied
F
Such service line for evacuation of power up to the nearest HT feeder
network, shall be laid and maintained by the eligible consumer at his cost
Since it is proposed to allow the prosumer / generator to connect the solar
system in the existing HT feeder, Automatic Meter Reading shall be
provided by the prosumer / generator in consultation with the licensee
The remote switching of ON / OFF of the breaker and switch of GISS shall
be provided to the feeding substation by the prosumer / generator
G
The Solar plant capacity in all categories shall be reckoned as the capacity

The
reverse power relay shall be removed
While the net work charges is
applicable for the generated power, the parallel operation charges shall
cease to exist upon such conversion
The prosumer shall be benefitted to
export the entire solar power generated during non production period like
holidays besides exporting excess power during normal days
II
Billing & Accounting: Net Metering:
(i) The solar energy exported to the Grid from grid connected solar
photovoltaic system is deducted from energy imported from the grid in
units to arrive at the net imported or exported energy
If the generated
energy is more than the consumption in a given billing cycle, such surplus
energy generated / exported shall be carried over to the next billing cycle
for credit and adjustment
This process shall continue until the end of the
settlement period i.e., 31st March
At the end of the settlement period,
the credit i.e., the net units of surplus generation available, if any, shall
get lapsed
If the consumption is more than the generation in any given
billing cycle, the net consumption units shall be charged under retail tariff
fixed by the Commission from time to time
(ii) ln case the Eligible Consumer is within the ambit of Time of Day (ToD)
tariff, the electricity consumption in any time slot i.e.peak hours, off-peak
hours, etc., shall be first compensated with the quantum of electricity
injected in the same time slot, any excess injection over and above the
consumption in any other time slot in a Billing Cycle shall be accounted as
if the excess injection had occurred during off-peak hours: Net billing or Net feed-in:
The monetary value of the imported energy is debited based on the
applicable retail tariff; The monetary value of the exported energy is credited
based on the feed-in tariff determined by the Commission
The monetary
value of the exported energy is deducted from the monetary value of
imported energy to arrive at the net amount to be billed
If the cumulative
credit amount exceeds the debit amount during any billing cycle, the net
credit is carried over to the next billing cycle
At the end of settlement period,
i.e., on 31st March the consumer has the option to receive payment of the net
credit balance (if any) or have such credit balance carried-over to the next
settlement period Gross metering:
Gross metering is permitted for eligible consumer or generator who opts to
sell all generated solar energy to the distribution licensee instead of availing
the net- metering or net feed-in facility
An eligible consumer or generator
under the gross metering scheme shall inject the entire power generated
from the GISS station to the distribution system of the distribution licensee to
the nearest HT network of same voltage
The exported solar energy is
credited at the feed in tariff determined by the Commission
The amount is
credited in the Operators /consumers electricity bill for every billing cycle
For the purpose of billing the import, export and net energy, the units and
other allied parameters recorded in the respective import and export and net
register of the consumer bidirectional meter shall be reckoned respectively
The maximum demand recorded in the gross generation meter or inverter, as
the case may be, shall not exceed the sanctioned/ contracted plant capacity
of GISS in any billing cycle
If the demand exceeds the sanctioned limit
in any billing cycle, the quantum of exported units recorded in the
bi-directional meter during the respective demand integration
period (DlP) in case of gross metering and respective billing cycle in
case of net-metering and net billing, proportionate to the portion of
demand that exceeded over the sanctioned limit shall be treated as
inadvertent injection in to the grid and shall not be eligible for
payment by the Licensee
III
Levelised Tariffs and Time of Day (ToD) tariffs:
The Time of Day tariffs has been determined by adding 20% higher than the
levelised tariff and shall apply for the energy supplied during the evening
peak hours i.e., 18.00 hrs to 21.00 hrs
Capacity Range Levelised Tariff10 kW Rs.3.61 per kWh150 kW Rs.3.37 per kWh999 kW Rs.3.10 per kWh
