1) Net metering allows rooftop solar owners to sell surplus electricity back to the grid. Under net metering, consumers pay for net electricity usage after accounting for self-consumption and exports to the grid.
2) Rooftop solar is eligible under net metering for all consumer classes up to 70% of sanctioned load or 10MW maximum. Systems can be financed through capital expenditure (CAPEX) models with own or loan financing.
3) Over 23MW of rooftop solar has been installed under net metering in Bangladesh so far across different utilities, demonstrating growing interest in the program.

✓All 3 phase consumer classes of LT, MT and HT
✓Applicable only for RE sources
✓After self consumption, surplus electricity can be exported to
the grid
✓Up to 70% of sanctioned load; but not exceeding 10 MW
