KSERC Renewable Energy and Net Metering Regulations, 2020
The Kerala regulator's rulebook for rooftop solar: who can connect, how net metering and banking of surplus units work, and how the surplus is paid for. It has been amended since; KSEB circulars cite it as the 2020 Regulations and their amendments.

Key points
- Net metering covers prosumer systems from 1 kW to 1,000 kW on the AC side of the inverter, limited to the sanctioned connected load or contract demand.
- Surplus units in a billing period are banked and carried forward through the settlement period.
- The net balance at the end of the settlement period is paid at the Average Power Purchase Cost approved by KSERC, with interest if payment is delayed beyond 30 days.
- A prosumer can apply to wheel surplus solar units to another of their own premises.
- Systems above 1 MW, captive consumers and independent power producers are covered by a separate chapter.
