Why Solar Net Metering in Bangladesh Is Now More Profitable Than Ever

Power tariffs are on the rise, and load-shedding continues to disrupt daily life and factory operations across Bangladesh. However, recent government policy shifts have turned rooftop solar into one of the highest-yield financial investments available for property and business owners.

With the introduction of updated Net Metering Guidelines and new tariff incentives, installing a turnkey solar PV system with Cyber Energy allows you to cut utility costs, earn direct income from excess generation, and keep your lights on around the clock.

3 Game-Changing Policy Updates You Need to Know

1. 100% Sanctioned Load Capacity

Previously, net-metered solar systems were capped at 70% of a property’s sanctioned electrical load. Under the latest guidelines, you can now install solar up to 100% of your sanctioned load. This allows homes and industrial units to maximize rooftop surface area, generating significantly more free energy.

2. Single-Phase & Smart Meter Eligibility

Net metering is no longer restricted to large three-phase industrial setups. Single-phase residential and commercial consumers can now connect rooftop solar directly to the grid. Furthermore, utility bill adjustments are integrated smoothly through prepaid and smart meter platforms (DPDC, DESCO, BREB, BPDB, NESCO, WZPDCL).

3. Special Surplus Rate: Earn Tk 10.50 Per Unit

Under the government’s latest tariff structure, rooftop solar systems paired with battery storage that feed surplus power back to the national grid can earn a fixed rate of Tk 10.50 per unit. Surplus earnings are paid out directly via bank transfer or mobile financial services (bKash/Nagad).

Turnkey Solar Engineering & Installation by Cyber Energy

Getting a net-metered solar system up and running requires precise electrical design, SREDA-approved hardware, and seamless utility coordination. Cyber Energy manages the complete lifecycle so you don’t have to deal with complex paperwork or compliance hurdles:
