PuVVNL Solar Subsidy Process & Net Metering Registration in Gorakhpur

Installing solar panels on your roof is only half the job done. To actually eliminate your electricity bill and receive government subsidy, your solar system must be grid-tied using a Bi-Directional Net Meter issued by Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (PuVVNL).

Net metering tracks both the power you consume from the grid and the excess solar energy your panels export back to PuVVNL.

Here is the complete guide by Solanova Energy on how the PuVVNL net metering registration and subsidy process works in Gorakhpur.

What is PuVVNL Net Metering and How Does It Work?

During sunny hours in Gorakhpur, your rooftop solar panels generate more electricity than your home consumes. Instead of letting this power go to waste:

1. The surplus electricity flows into the PuVVNL grid.

2. The net meter records these exported units.

3. At night, when solar panels are inactive, you pull power from the grid (imported units).

4. At the end of the billing cycle, PuVVNL bills you only for the net difference (Imported Units minus Exported Units).

5. If exported units exceed imported units, the credit rolls over to the next month!

Step-by-Step PuVVNL Solar Net Metering & Subsidy Workflow

[1. Portal Registration] ➔ [2. Feasibility Approval] ➔ [3. Solar System Installation] 
          ➔ [4. Joint Inspection & Net Metering] ➔ [5. Subsidy DBT Disbursal]

Step 1: Application & Technical Feasibility

Your application is submitted on the national portal selecting PuVVNL. A local PuVVNL engineer inspects the transformer load in your locality (e.g., Golghar, Betiahata, Medical Road) to approve connection feasibility.

Step 2: System Installation

An approved installer like Solanova Energy mounts the structure, places DCR solar modules, connects the solar inverter, and completes earthing/lightning protection.

Step 3: Work Completion & Inspection Request

System test reports, serial numbers of panels/inverters, and site photos are uploaded to the portal.

Step 4: PuVVNL Net Meter Installation

PuVVNL officials conduct a site inspection, replace your old digital meter with a smart Bi-Directional Net Meter, and issue a Commissioning Certificate.

Step 5: Direct Bank Transfer (DBT) of Subsidy

Within 30 days of issuing the commissioning certificate, the central subsidy is directly transferred into your bank account via Aadhaar-linked DBT.
