    When you install rooftop solar panels, the government allows you to connect to the electricity grid in two main ways: net metering or net billing.

    In net metering, your electricity bill is calculated based on the difference between how much power you use from the grid and how much extra solar power you send back to it. So if you produce more power than you use, your bill goes down or can even become zero.

    In net billing, the extra solar power you send to the grid is sold at a fixed rate, which is usually lower than the rate you pay for electricity. You still pay for all the electricity you use from the grid, and you get a separate credit for the power you export.

    Because of this, net metering usually saves you more money than net billing—especially if you’re a homeowner.

    Component-A focuses on setting up decentralized, grid-connected solar power plants up to 2 MW capacity each, primarily on barren or unused farmland. These plants help generate clean electricity locally and feed it into the grid.

    The PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) scheme is a government initiative to promote solar energy in rural areas. Under Component-A, farmers in Assam can lease their land to set up small solar power plants (up to 2 MW) near 33/11 kV substations. This allows farmers to earn extra income from their land while contributing to clean energy production. The 357 MW project by Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL) aims to make this opportunity accessible to farmers across the state.

    Discoms offer different services in a rootop solar connection. For example they give technical feaibility report for your syatem (for connections uptp 10kw it is automated now). They also are involved in installation of net-meters. However they mainly act as quality control mechanism. Post installation, discoms check the system for safety like wiring, earthing and others which can ensure that the consumer and grid are safe with the new connection and there is no defiance in the new connections against the prescribed norms.
