8.0 Testing:
8.1 The consumers who have installed grid-connected roof-top solar PV module under net-metering
/ net-billing arrangement shall have to furnish certificate of fitness conforming to correct
operation of islanding, generation of harmonics and other Power Quality parameters as per limits
mentioned in procedure 4.3 above. Consumer can arrange such testing by their own in presence
of representative of distribution licensee or request the connected distribution licensee for
arranging such tests on cost basis through authorized agencies, whose details will be available on
the website of WBSEDCL
8.2 Periodicity of Testing of consumers installations:

Consumers shall have to furnish certificate of fitness with the following periodicity:
 i) Every two years for PV output above 170 KW (200 KVA)
ii) Every three years for PV output upto 170 KW (200 KVA)

If the solar installation remains out of operation for more than six (06) months, consumers shall
have to furnish certificate of fitness afresh from the authorized agencies of WBSEDCL along
with clearance from Office of the Chief Electrical Inspector, Govt of West Bengal as per Central
Electricity Authority (Measures relating to Safety and Electric Supply) Regulations, 2010 as
amended time to time.

8.3 (a) Testing fees of Solar generation meter procured by consumer: Rs 1200 / Meter

(b) Testing fees for fitness certificate.:

To be Notified (Vendor List and Fee for the purpose under process).

8.4 Testing parameters:

i) Harmonic Report
ii) Voltage fluctuation and flicker
iii) DC current injection
iv) Fault current contribution
v) Voltage and Frequency protection : As per CEA Guidelines
vi) Reconnection time settings : As per CEA Guidelines
vii) Reactive Support test
At 240 volt (Nominal Voltage) to 245 Volt it should operate at unity power factor.
However, grid voltage reduces, inverter should operate in leading power factor with linearly
increasing trend up to 230 Volt, and then it becomes fixed with 0.95 lead (i.e. 30%
capacitive). Similarly, for voltage range from 245 to 255 Volt the Inverter should absorb
reactive power gradually with maximum power factor 0.95 (i.e. Inductive 30%).

9.0 Metering and Meter Cost :

9.1 The Net Metering Arrangement shall include a single-phase or a three-phase Net Meter, as per
the existing supply arrangement of the eligible consumer, located at the point of inter-connection
as would be ascertained by WBSEDCL.
9.2 The Solar generation meter and net meter along-with allied accessories shall be procured and
installed by WBSEDCL against the cost to be borne by the consumer.
9.3 In case of Net Billing arrangement, a check meter of appropriate class shall be installed by
the WBSEDCL for the solar-PV generation meter against the cost to be borne by the consumer.
9.4 In case meter procured by WBSEDCL becomes defective within 07 years (useful life as per
Regulation) from the date of installation where the meter is found not tampered/ damaged on the
fault of the consumers, WBSEDCL will replace the meter and cost of such replaced meter shall
not be claimed from the consumer.
 Beyond the above stated stipulated time frame when the meter become defective, WBSEDCL
will replace the said defective meter (s) and meter cost will be claimed through energy bill.

9.5 Meter Reading:

i) Meter reading of all the meters for the consumers having Sanctioned load/ contract demand
below 50 KVA under net metering or net billing arrangement as the case may be will be taken
physically by the meter reader or online (where possible) according to regular meter reading
cycle.

ii) Meter reading of all the meters for the consumers having Sanctioned load/ contract demand 50
KVA and above under net billing arrangement as the case may be will be taken through Meter
Data Acquisition Systems (MDAS) according to regular meter reading cycle.

9.6 Cost of Net Meter/ Solar Generation meter/ Modem:

The cost of meters and modem will be as per cost data of WBSEDCL published time to time

10.0 Energy Accounting and Settlement :

10.1 For net metering arrangement as per Schedule-1 of RE Regulation. For this purpose, accounting
of Solar Generation is also mandatory.

10.2 For net billing arrangement as per Schedule-2 of RE Regulation.

10.3 In case of in accessibility of meter Reading of Consumer meter/ Solar Generation meter:
i) Assessment of drawal energy in consumer mode including energy export (net metering
arrangement) shall be computed based on the provision as laid down in the West Bengal
Electricity Regulatory Commission (Electricity Supply Code) Regulations, 2013 as
amended.

ii) Assessment of Solar generation energy shall be computed on the basis of average generation
and other parameters for the preceding months or during any previous period that may be
reasonably comparable.
Provided where the actual Solar generation of previous months/period is not available,
adjustment of Solar generation will be done on availability of actual generation during
meter reading.
iii) Inaccessibility of meter Reading normally shall not be allowed for more than one (01)
consecutive billing cycle beyond which net metering / net billing arrangement shall be
withdrawn.

10.4 In case of defective /defunct / defect in metering circuit of Consumer meter/ Solar Generation
meter:
i) Assessment of drawal energy in consumer mode including energy export (net metering
arrangement) shall be computed based on the provision as laid down in the West Bengal
Electricity Regulatory Commission (Electricity Supply Code) Regulations, 2013 as amended.
 ii) Assessment of Solar generation energy shall be computed based on Check meter. If both
main and check meter / metering circuit are found defective, assessment of generation energy
shall be computed on the basis of average generation and other parameters for the preceding
three months or during any previous period that may be reasonably comparable before the
meter has been found to be defective or defunct.
iii) If the Solar generation of previous months/period is not available, adjustment of Solar
generation will be done on availability of actual generation during meter reading by taking
average of actual electricity generated during the succeeding period (s) / month (s) after
installation of a correct meter.

11.0 Alteration of service

If any consumer requires any alteration of service under net metering or net billing arrangement
the charges for alteration of services will be as follows:
i) For Sanctioned Load/Contract demand upto 170 KW ( 200 KVA): Charges will be as per
procedure 8.0 of WBSEDCL PROCEDURES-A(2010)
ii) For Sanctioned Load/Contract demand above 170 KW ( 200 KVA) : On actual basis based on
inspection

12.0 Disconnection of solar-PV generating system / Discontinuation of Net metering / Net

Billing Agreement:
12.1 WBSEDCL shall have the right to disconnect the solar-PV generating system at any time in ‘the
event of threat/damage’ from such renewable energy system to its distribution system to prevent
any accident or damage, without any notice. WBSEDCL shall call upon the consumer to rectify
the defect within a reasonable time.
12.2 If the presence of harmonics is beyond the limits specified in procedure 4.3 above, it may be
treated as "the event of threat/damage" under regulation 7.2 (d) of RE Regulations, and the
utility shall have the right to disconnect the solar PV generating system.
12.3 On disconnection of consumer mode of supply due to any reason whatsoever the net billing/net
metering arrangement will also be discontinued till reconnection of consumer mode of supply.

13.0 Termination of Agreement

13.1 In case consumers under Net Billing system resorts to unlawful drawal of solar power directly
from solar panel before capturing of entire solar generation, then net billing facility will be
withdrawn immediately for violation of agreement and agreement under net billing facility will
be terminated.
13.2 On termination of Consumer mode of supply agreement under net metering/ net billing will also
be terminated from date of termination of Consumer mode of supply agreement.
13.3 If consumer fails to supply Solar Generation to WBSEDCL within one year from the date of
supply as agreed in the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) or discontinue the supply for more
than one year for any reason(s) whatsoever then such PPA shall be automatically cancelled.
13.4 In case of violation of grid discipline, agreement under net billing facility will be terminated as
per order of Hon’ble Commission.
