Solar bill can be calculated using the daily electricity usage for the house minus the electricity generated by the solar panels. The result is multiplied by the electricity rates in your area. A negative result means that you have energy credit.

For example if your meter has a capacity of 3 KW, you are allowed to install rooftop solar only upto 3 Kw. In case you want to install a 4 KW rooftop solar, you first need to increase your electricity meter capacity upto 4 KW before applying for rooftop solar.

In net metering the units of electricity generated are deducted from electricity consumed. Any excess consumption payable, or generation carried forward. It differs from Gross metering which has a fixed feed-in tariff rate for power produced and a retail rate for power used. Thus, net metering is usRead more
In net metering the units of electricity generated are deducted from electricity consumed. Any excess consumption payable, or generation carried forward. It differs from Gross metering which has a fixed feed-in tariff rate for power produced and a retail rate for power used. Thus, net metering is usually more beneficial for a solar user. In India, most net metering across states comes with a limit of upto 1 MW.

Solar trackers are used for positioning photovoltaic (PV) panels (solar panels) so that they remain perpendicular to the Sun’s rays and positioning space telescopes so that they can determine the Sun’s direction. They can be used on really large commercial rooftops. Not on residential rooftops, as they would not be cost effective.

While the idea might seem good, as more exposure to direct sunrays all day means more energy, you will not find trackers in the market designed for terrace use. Plus, the extra cost, even if you found one or even tried to customise one, would not be worth it possibly.
