Sustainable Net Metering Model for Diversified India

With the increase in deployment of solar PV in India, a feasible net metering policy is need of the hour. In this paper, an analysis of data has been carried out for studying the feasibility of net metering in India. It is found that simple net metering policy is unable to accommodate various categories of consumers. A new model is proposed for making net metering more scalable, feasible and financially viable in India. The simulation results of model indicate that the proposed model is able to serve varied consumers leading to a sustainable net metering model which is economically acceptable.
