The Net Metering Concept
Net Metering is a billing related mechanism designed to encourage electricity consumers to supplement their purchase of electricity with grid-connected renewable energy self-generation using a special meter called, the Net Meter. Thus, the customer becomes a Customer-generator. Under the net metering billing mechanism, renewable energy generating facility owners are credited for electricity that the facility supplies to the Distribution Utility's network, and this credit is set off against electricity purchased from the Distribution Utility.

Private Model for SMEs and Households
The SME/Household should engage a prequalified solar PV installer or EPC then apply via
the web application platform to the DU and PIU which concurrently applies for the
subsidy. DU will assess the network of the SME/Household to check if there are any grid
integration issues before they can approve the application and indicate same to the PIU.
the PIU will check and see if all the necessary documentation or information from the
applicant has been provided (uploaded unto the web application platform) and approve the
installation of the Solar PV by giving instructions to the EPC to install the proposed
solar PV system for the SME/Household applicant. The DU will certify the solar PV
installation after the EPC has completed the installation of the solar PV system, and
install the net meter. The DU will then issue a certificate of verification and
completion to the PIU to facilitate the release of funds/subsidy to the EPC or applicant
where necessary. The SME/Household would be provided with a list partner commercial
banks or financial institutions that can provide a financial product to enable them
purchase the solar PV system. See Figure below.
The PIU will use the web application platform to monitor the number of applications,
approvals, installations and commissioned net metered solar PV systems install for the
SMEs and Households.
Public Institution Model
The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) will procure the engineering, procurement and
construction companies (EPCs) (eg. Solar PV installers) for the Public Institutions in
lots through a competitive process. The Public Institutions will apply to the
Distribution Utilities and PIU for a net meter via the web application platform; the PIU
will check and see if all the necessary documentation or information from the applicant
has been provided (uploaded) and give instructions to the EPC to install the proposed
solar PV system for the Public Institution; The DU will certify the solar PV
installation after the EPC has completed the installation of the solar PV system, and
install the net meter; The DU will then issue a certificate of verification and
completion to the PIU to facilitate the release of funds to the EPC. See Figure below.
The PIU will use the web application platform to monitor the number of applications,
installations and commissioned net metered solar PV systems install for the Public
Institutions.
