How the Calculator Works
The calculator applies the tariff slab-by-slab. For example, an urban consumer using 250 units does not pay ₹6.00 for all 250 units. The first 150 units are calculated at ₹5.50 and the next 100 units are calculated at ₹6.00.
The calculator then adds the applicable monthly fixed charge based on your sanctioned load. Electricity duty is calculated separately using the percentage entered in the calculator. Other bill adjustments can also be entered manually.
Rooftop Solar Net Metering in Lucknow
Lucknow homeowners with an approved MVVNL rooftop-solar net-metering connection generally use a bidirectional meter that records electricity imported from the grid and electricity exported by the rooftop solar system. Use the solar option in this calculator when you want to estimate your bill from import and export readings instead of normal household consumption.
The calculator estimates billable energy by subtracting current solar export and any previous banked solar credit from grid-import units. If available solar credit is greater than imported electricity, billable energy is shown as zero and the remaining amount is displayed as estimated carry-forward solar credit.
Rooftop solar can reduce the energy-charge portion of the electricity bill, but it does not automatically remove fixed charges, electricity duty, FPPAS, previous balances, arrears or other applicable billing items. Your official MVVNL meter data and the applicable solar settlement rules remain authoritative.
