At Vesat Renewables Private Limited, we’re proud to be part of India’s solar journey—especially the game-changing shift in 2015, when the government made a decisive push to promote on-grid solar power systems for the domestic sector with the net metering policy.
This initiative marked a turning point for homeowners, making solar energy not just sustainable—but financially smart.
2015: A Solar Revolution for Indian Households
In 2015, under the guidance of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and in partnership with state electricity boards (DISCOMs), India introduced widespread net metering regulations to accelerate solar adoption among residential users.
Key Benefits Introduced:
- On-Grid Systems: Home solar setups connected directly to the electricity grid
- Net Metering: Consumers could export excess power to the grid and receive credits on their electricity bill
- MNRE Subsidy: Up to 30–70% capital subsidy for eligible homeowners (especially in special category states and urban clusters)
- Reduced Electricity Bills: Drastic drop in monthly bills, sometimes to zero
- Low Maintenance and long life span of systems (25+ years)
Vesat Renewables: Empowering Homeowners Since Day One
As a trusted EPC partner, Vesat Renewables was quick to step in with:
- Customized rooftop solar solutions for homes of all sizes
- Complete support in net meter application & liaisoning with DISCOMs
- MNRE-subsidized installations, where applicable
- Post-installation support and AMC (Annual Maintenance Contracts)
We’ve helped hundreds of families reduce their electricity bills and carbon footprint—while turning their rooftops into power plants.
A Sustainable Investment for Every Home
By 2015, solar stopped being a “future idea”—it became a household utility. With on-grid systems and net metering:
- Your daytime power needs come from the sun
- Excess units go to the grid, giving you credits
- You only pay for the net difference, if any
- You enjoy payback periods as low as 3–5 years
Looking Ahead
Today, we continue to innovate and support the residential solar movement, offering smart, app-connected systems, battery backups, and even EV-charging compatible solar packages.
