PESCO Net Metering: Step-by-Step Guide (2026)
Net metering lets your on-grid solar system sell surplus electricity back to PESCO, so you only pay for the net units you use. For many Peshawar homes and businesses it cuts the bill dramatically. Here's how it works and how to get it.
What is net metering?
A bi-directional meter records what your solar exports to the grid during the day and what you import at night. The exported units are credited against your imported units, so your bill reflects only the difference.
Who can apply?
• Homes and businesses with a three-phase connection are ideal (single-phase is also possible).
• Your solar system size should match your sanctioned load (typically 1–25 kW for homes and shops).
• You'll need your CNIC, a recent PESCO bill, and roof space for the panels.
The process, simplified
1. We survey your site and design an on-grid system sized to your load.
2. We prepare and submit the net-metering application and documents to PESCO.
3. PESCO inspects and approves.
4. The bi-directional meter is installed and your system is commissioned.
How long does it take?
The paperwork and meter change usually take a few weeks. The good news: we handle the entire process for you, so you don't have to chase files.
Is it worth it?
For most on-grid customers, yes — the savings are significant and the system pays for itself in a few years. Use our Solar Calculator to estimate your savings, or message us to start your net-metering application.
