The Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has introduced new and stricter regulations for solar net metering projects after detecting multiple cases of substandard inverters being installed by consumers. Under the new rules, the inverter number and manufacturer’s name must be registered before a net metering meter can be allocated. LESCO has made it mandatory to record inverter details in its ERP system, and any missing or mismatched inverter number will result in cancellation of meter installation.
The move aims to ensure that only compliant and verified solar equipment connects to the national grid, improving system reliability and safety. Consumers are advised to submit accurate details along with their demand notices to avoid delays or rejections.
