Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system proprietors for the power they add to the grid. The solar net metering policy was introduced after careful examination of successful models all over the world. The unprecedented potential of and growth in solar power generation poses a serious threat to the vested interests such as independent power producers (IPPs). The government must undertake a review of existing solar net metering and identify gaps in order to improve the mechanism. The government should allow the net metering policy to work under the market mechanism and not tolerate interference from external actors.
