What is Behind the Meter?
Behind-the-Meter (BTM) systems are energy solutions—like rooftop solar panels, battery storage, and microgrids—installed directly on the customer’s side of the utility meter. These systems generate, store, and use electricity right at the point of consumption, bypassing the grid for much of their energy needs.
Whether it’s a high-rise in Mumbai, a home in Bengaluru, or a rural school in Odisha, BTM energy powers it directly reducing electricity bills, improving energy security, and cutting carbon emissions. Any excess power can often be exported back to the grid, earning credits or income for the user.

Why BTM Matters for India?
In a country where power outages and grid limitations still impact millions, BTM solutions are more than just technology—they're a game changer. They give people and businesses control over their energy:
- Homes can store solar energy for use after dark.
- Factories and offices can keep operations running during blackouts.
- Rural areas can leapfrog to clean, reliable electricity without waiting for traditional grid expansion.
Powering a Greener, More Independent Future.
BTM systems empower citizens to become energy producers, not just consumers. They reduce pressure on the national grid, drive down carbon emissions, and unlock new economic opportunities through clean tech innovation.
By embracing BTM solutions, India is taking a bold step toward a decentralized, sustainable, and resilient energy future—one rooftop at a time.

Key Benefits of BTM Solar
Key Benefits of BTM Solar
- Instant Cost Savings: Slash electricity bills by directly offsetting grid power with on-site solar generation.
- Maximize Idle Assets: Transform unused rooftops or vacant land into revenue-generating, energy-producing assets.
- Visible Sustainability Leadership: Showcase your commitment to green energy with a solution that’s clearly seen and easily understood.
- Streamlined Deployment: Fewer regulatory complexities compared to large-scale, off-site solar projects make BTM easier and faster to implement.
- Greater Energy Independence: Generate and consume your own clean energy during daylight hours, reducing exposure to grid outages and rising tariffs.
- Net Metering Opportunities: Export surplus energy back to the grid and earn credits or revenue—subject to local policy.
- Smart Demand Management: BTM systems contribute to load balancing, helping reduce peak demand and easing stress on the utility grid.
- Support Grid Resilience: During high-demand periods, excess energy fed back into the grid helps stabilize supply for the broader community.

BTM Net Metering
BTM Net Metering
BTM with Net Metering
- A solar power system is installed directly at the customer's site—on rooftops or open land.
- The energy generated is consumed instantly to meet on-site electricity needs.
- Any excess solar power is exported to the grid and can be drawn back during non-solar hours.
- The customer is billed only for the net energy used from the grid—total imported minus total exported—resulting in significant cost savings.
BTM without Net Metering
- A rooftop or ground-mounted solar plant is installed on the customer’s premises.
- There are typically no restrictions on the installed capacity.
- The energy generated must be consumed on-site in real time.
- Excess energy cannot be exported to the grid—it is curtailed or lost if not used immediately.
Ideal Applications for BTM Solar
Ideal Applications for BTM Solar
- Commercial and Industrial Facilities: Ideal for high daytime energy consumers such as manufacturing units, offices, and commercial complexes. BTM solar helps cut electricity costs by enabling on-site energy generation and storage, reducing peak-hour dependency.
- Residential Rooftop Solar: Homeowners can lower their electricity bills, reduce grid reliance, and gain backup power during outages. Net metering allows excess energy to be fed back into the grid for credits, enhancing overall savings.
- Critical Infrastructure: Hospitals, data centers, and emergency services benefit from reliable, uninterrupted power through BTM solar and storage systems, offering a cleaner, cost-effective alternative to diesel generators.
- Educational and Institutional Campuses: Schools and universities with large rooftops can implement BTM solar to lower energy costs, demonstrate environmental responsibility, and serve as sustainability leaders.
- Agricultural and Rural Applications: Farms and rural businesses use BTM solar for cold storage, irrigation, and processing—especially in regions with unreliable grid supply—ensuring energy independence and reduced costs.
- Urban and Smart City Projects: Housing societies, municipal buildings, and smart city developments can deploy BTM solar to meet local energy demands, support grid resilience, and foster sustainable urban growth.
