That gap changes the payback math for the whole project. This isn’t an isolated case. Andhra Pradesh has tightened its net metering cap too, and the two states’ rules now look a lot more alike than they used to.

At the end of the billing cycle, they settle up on the difference. TSERC writes the rules for Telangana. APERC does it for Andhra Pradesh. How Net Metering Actually Works A bi-directional meter sits at the interconnection point between the solar system and the grid. It records two numbers: units import...
