Two electricity meters will be installed under gross metering. The electricity generated by the solar panels will be automatically connected to the national grid and then fed back.
They will be metered through two meters while consumers with solar panels will be provided electricity from the national grid at the normal rate at which other consumers are being provided. On the other hand, net metering has moved countless consumers into the protected category.
Under the gross metering policy, consumers with solar panels will not be registered in the protected category and will be charged the same electricity rates as non-protected consumers.
