Net Metering in Rajasthan: JVVNL, AVVNL & JDVVNL Process Explained

Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar panel owners for the excess electricity they add to the grid. In Rajasthan, all three DISCOMs — JVVNL (Jaipur), AVVNL (Ajmer), and JDVVNL (Jodhpur) — support net metering for rooftop solar systems.

How Net Metering Works

A bidirectional meter is installed at your property that measures:

• Import: Electricity drawn from the grid (when solar is insufficient)
• Export: Surplus solar power sent to the grid

At the end of the billing cycle, you pay only for net units consumed (Import - Export). Surplus credits can be carried forward to the next billing cycle.

Net Metering Process in Rajasthan

1. Application: Submit net metering application to your DISCOM (online or at the sub-division office)
2. Technical Feasibility: DISCOM assesses if net metering is technically feasible for your connection
3. Agreement Signing: Sign the net metering agreement with the DISCOM
4. Meter Installation: DISCOM installs the bidirectional meter (at your cost)
5. Grid Synchronization: System is connected and synchronized with the grid
6. Commissioning: System goes live — you start earning credits

Important Points

• Net metering is available for systems up to 500 kW capacity
• Residential systems up to 10 kW are eligible for PM Surya Ghar subsidy
• The entire process typically takes 30–60 days
• Suryanex Solar handles the complete application process on your behalf
