How to Read and Understand Your TSSPDCL Solar Net Metering Electricity Bill in Hyderabad
When you switch to rooftop solar in Telangana, your monthly TSSPDCL electricity bill changes from a standard consumption slip to a bidirectional net-metered energy statement. Understanding the various rows, columns, registers, and formulas—such as Import Units, Export Units, Net Billed Units, Banked Units Carried Forward, and Mandatory Fixed Charges—ensures you can easily audit your bill and verify that you are paying ₹0 for energy consumption.
A Line-by-Line Breakdown of Your Telangana Solar Energy Bill
A TSSPDCL solar net metering bill is generated using readings from your bidirectional smart meter, which captures electricity flowing in both directions. The bill presents three key energy entries: **Import kWh (A)**—total energy you consumed from the grid during nighttime or low-sun hours; **Export kWh (B)**—total surplus solar energy your rooftop panels pushed back into the grid; and **Net Units Billed (A - B)**.
If your Export exceeds your Import (e.g. Export = 520 units, Import = 440 units), your Net Billed Energy for that month is **Zero Units**. The surplus 80 units are recorded in the **'Banked Energy / Cumulative Surplus'** column and carried forward automatically to offset future high-consumption summer months. Your final payable amount will consist only of nominal statutory fixed charges (customer charges, meter rent, and electricity duty) totaling approximately ₹80 to ₹150.
- Import (kWh): Grid electricity consumed by your home when solar output is below real-time load.
- Export (kWh): Surplus solar electricity fed back into the TSSPDCL distribution grid.
- Banking Credit: Unused surplus units carry forward month-to-month across the financial settlement cycle.
