Daytime loads
Consider on-grid solar when most usage is during daylight and backup is unnecessary.

On-grid, off-grid or hybrid under NEPRA 2026 Net Billing
Under NEPRA (Prosumer) Regulations, 2026 (effective February 9, 2026), new residential and commercial connections in Islamabad & Rawalpindi operate on Net Billing: electricity imported from IESCO is billed at your applicable slab/ToU tariff (Rs 37–55+/unit with surcharges & GST), whereas exported solar surplus is credited separately at NEPRA’s National Average Energy Purchase Price (Rs 8.13/unit NAEPP base) under a 5-year agreement.
Because daytime self-consumption avoids expensive slab imports while exports earn Rs 8.13/unit, pairing an On-Grid or Hybrid system with load-matched sizing—or a Hybrid LiFePO4 battery bank to shift afternoon surplus into evening AC/home use—delivers stronger bill savings. Pre-February 9, 2026 existing net-metering consumers remain grandfathered on 1:1 agreements under S.R.O. 547(I)/2026 unless they alter sanctioned capacity.
IESCO Green Meter & Regulatory Filing Checklist
We prepare complete IESCO prosumer files with NEPRA-approved Tier-1 inverters, anti-islanding protection, earthing test certificates, and Certificate of Compliance (COC) testing.
- Agreement term: 5 years for new 2026 Net Billing applicants (7 years grandfathered for pre-Feb 9, 2026 contracts)
- System sizing cap: Up to 1 MW, matched to your utility sanctioned load (3-phase meter required for larger loads)
- Smart self-use optimization: Prioritize daytime appliances or Hybrid LiFePO4 storage before feeding surplus to the grid
Report a problem with an existing solar system
For low generation, repeated alarms, battery issues, or missing monitoring data, share your city, system age, inverter and battery make/model, and the exact fault code and symptoms. Include when the problem started and any available monitoring history.
- DC isolator, SPD, and string voltage verification under sunlight
- Inverter MPPT tracking and grid-synchronization checks
- Battery charging curve, BMS communication, and cutoff threshold review
- Array cleaning, thermal inspection of MC4 connectors, and earthing resistance testing

Hybrid + LiFePO4 battery: stores surplus daytime solar for evening self-consumption (avoiding Rs 45+/unit IESCO evening imports) instead of exporting at NEPRA Net Billing buyback (~Rs 8.13/unit).
NEPRA Prosumer Policy (2026): New IESCO connections after Feb 9, 2026 settle exports at Rs 8.13/unit (NAEPP base) under a 5-year Net Billing contract; pre-Feb 2026 contracts remain grandfathered 1:1 via S.R.O. 547(I)/2026.
