Eligibility check
We confirm your sanctioned load, feeder and transformer capacity, and the system size that will be approved, before you commit.
Net Metering
Net Metering, Handled for You
We take care of the entire process with your DISCOM. You just start saving.
Net metering is what lets your rooftop system send surplus power to the grid and set it off against your night-time use. Getting it approved means forms, drawings, fees, and utility visits. Paso Solar does all of it for you, across BESCOM, HESCOM, MESCOM, GESCOM, and CESC areas.

What net metering does for your bill
A normal meter only counts the power you take from the grid. A net meter counts both directions, so the solar you produce but do not use straight away still works for you.
Daytime surplus is credited
When your panels make more than the house is using, the extra flows to the grid and your meter records it.
Night-time use draws it down
After dark you import from the grid as usual, and the credit from the day is set off against it.
You pay on the net
The bill is raised on the difference between what you imported and what you exported over the billing cycle.
Unused credit follows DISCOM policy
How leftover credit carries forward or is settled is set by your utility's current policy, which we explain upfront.
A simple way to picture it
Think of the grid as a bank for your solar power. On a sunny afternoon when nobody is home, your system “deposits” the surplus. In the evening, when the panels stop and the house is busy, you “withdraw” against that deposit instead of buying every unit fresh.
Using solar power yourself, as it is made, is still worth the most. Net metering makes sure the rest is not simply lost.
What Paso Solar takes care of
The full process, start to finish. Not guidance or coordination on the side — we do the work.
Application and drawings
We prepare the DISCOM application, the single-line diagram, and every supporting document, and file it under your connection.
Fees and submissions
We pay the application and processing fees on your behalf and manage every submission and resubmission.
Feasibility and inspection
Our engineer attends the DISCOM feasibility check and the post-installation inspection, and closes out any points raised.
Meter installation
We coordinate the removal of your old meter and the fitting of the bidirectional net meter.
Activation and confirmation
We confirm the connection is live under net metering and show you how to read the new bill.
Approval, the sanctioned-capacity limit, and the credit rate are decided by the DISCOM under current policy. Our job is to run the process correctly so nothing is delayed by a missing form or a wrong drawing.
How the process runs
The stages are similar across DISCOMs. We manage all of them.

Net metering questions
Do I have to visit the BESCOM office myself?
No. Our team files the application, submits the drawings, pays the fees, attends the feasibility and inspection visits, and coordinates the meter change. You sign where your signature is legally needed, and that is all.
How does net metering actually lower my bill?
Your meter records both directions. When your panels send surplus power to the grid during the day, those units are credited. When you draw from the grid at night, the credit is set off against it. You are billed on the net units, so daytime solar you cannot use yourself is not wasted.
Is every rooftop eligible for net metering?
Most are, but it depends on your sanctioned load, the capacity of your local transformer and feeder, and the system size. We check all of this before you commit, so there are no surprises after installation.
How long does the process take?
It varies with the DISCOM's queue and the season. We give you a realistic timeline for your connection after the site survey and keep you updated at each stage rather than leaving you guessing.
What is the credit worth, and does it expire?
The credit rate and how unused credit is carried forward or settled are set by your DISCOM under the current net metering policy, not by us. We explain exactly how it will work for your connection before you sign.
Which DISCOMs do you cover?
We handle net metering across Karnataka — BESCOM, HESCOM, MESCOM, GESCOM, and CESC Mysuru areas. The forms and fees differ slightly between them, and we manage that for you.
