The system is already in place in Australia. Govt paid subsidy to install Solar panels with invertors that are directly connected to the grid. During the day, electricity is transferred to the grid by these solar panels. As a matter of fact, if you produce more and consume less, the electric company sends the credit amount. Recently due to deficit budget, subsidy has been stopped and no new panels are installed. It is certainly a workable solution and solves the energy crisis in days rather months. The only catch is cost of solar panel, inverter, meter and installation.

Subject: [pakgrid] Reverse Metering + Solar Panels
While informal chat, Dr. Anjum Iqbal sahib gave a really good idea regarding energy solution as follows:
The solar panel system can be more useful, if we use 'Reverse Metering' system:
- Govt. may help people buying solar panels on soft loans.
- Govt. may recommend/approve solar system specifications to be used.
- Distribution Companies can launch 'Reverse Metering' system. Excess energy, in the day, at end user premisis may be accepted by respective grid. When end user gets advantage of energy units this will make the project feasible. End user will try to install more and more solar panel at its premsis and end user will try to maintain it in a good state to get advantage of free energy.
- Generation Companies may generate more energy in the night and less in the day. Because more solar energy is available in the day.
- End user will not need a big battery bank for storage for night use.
Is this workable? What are your comments?
