Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has introduced stricter regulations for net metering projects following a rise in cases where consumers are installing substandard inverters in their solar systems, reported City42 news channel.
Under the new rules, the allocation of meters for net metering will require mandatory registration of both the inverter number and the company name. LESCO has also directed that all inverter numbers must be recorded in the ERP system.
During meter allocation, consumers must provide the inverter number along with the demand notice; failure to do so will result in the cancellation of the meter allocation.
The inverter numbers listed in the files submitted by companies will become part of the official record, and the inverter number will also be verified at the time of meter installation.
LESCO has made it clear that any discrepancy in the inverter number will prevent the meter from being installed, ensuring that only compliant and verified solar equipment is connected to the grid.
