The shift to gross metering, however, disrupts this equilibrium. Under the new policy, solar consumers are forced to sell all their generated electricity to the grid at a meager Rs 10 per unit, only to buy it back at the inflated grid rate of Rs 50 per unit. This means that a household generating 500 units of solar energy would earn just Rs 5,000 from the grid but still have to pay Rs 50,000 for their 1,000-unit consumption, resulting in a net bill of Rs 45,000—nearly double what they would have paid under net metering.
