Punjab provides net metering for eligible rooftop solar systems, with residential installations typically falling within the 1-10kW range. The broader applicable capacity can extend up to 500kW. Surplus electricity exported to the grid is accounted for through monthly credits. Domestic consumers should also consider the impact of Punjab's free electricity policy when evaluating rooftop solar savings.
