How to Read Net Metering Billing in PuVVNL / MVVNL Electricity Bills in UP

After installing an on-grid solar system in Uttar Pradesh, your monthly electricity bill from PuVVNL (Purvanchal) or MVVNL (Madhyanchal) reflects new readings: Import Units (kWh), Export Units (kWh), and Net Billed Units.

In this guide, Solanova Energy demystifies net metering bill calculations so you can track your exact monthly savings.

Core Definitions on Your Solar Power Bill

• Import Units (kWh): Electricity pulled from the DISCOM grid during night hours or low sunlight.

• Export Units (kWh): Surplus solar electricity generated by your roof and pushed into the DISCOM grid during daytime.

• Net Billed Units: Total units on which PuVVNL charges you:

$$\text{Net Billed Units} = \text{Import Units} - \text{Export Units}$$

Real Example Calculation

Suppose a home in Gorakhpur with a 3KW Solar System registers the following monthly readings:

Total Grid Import (Night / Rainy Days):    250 Units
Total Solar Export (Daytime Surplus):      380 Units
--------------------------------------------------------------
NET BILLED UNITS:                          250 - 380 = -130 Units

What Happens to the -130 Surplus Units?

Because Export exceeds Import, you pay ZERO electricity usage charges for that month! The remaining 130 credit units roll over to the next month's bill to offset future power usage during peak summer months.
