Now, MNRE has made this process more convenient. Now the PM Surya Ghar Portal allows you to check details of each vendor like the number of solar projects they have installed. You can also find out which companies have installed the highest number of solar panels in your area. You just need to go the portal, go to the empanelled vendors and feed in your local discom name and your city, and the portal will give you the details?

If you are a resident of UP, your bill will show total surplus solar energy exported to the grid, total power taken from the grid and balance surplus solar power from previous month (if any). In UP, the calculations of net energy charges are done based on the solar power an grid power usage. However, even if your surplus solar power is more than your consumed grid power and the energy charges are in negative, you have to pay for your fixd monthy electricity meter charges and electricity duty.
