Many homeowners dream of owning a rooftop solar system but hesitate because of concerns like “no net meter yet” or confusing paperwork. These hurdles often make the journey seem overwhelming.
The good news? You don’t have to delay your solar switch. With the right guidance, your solar journey can begin smoothly even if your net meter is not installed yet.
Common Myths That Stop Solar Dreams
It is natural to worry about net metering approvals or DISCOM processes. Many first-time solar buyers believe installation must wait until all paperwork is completed.
In reality, most trusted solar installers like Ecozen help customers start the process early. You do not need an existing net meter to begin. Site assessment, system design, and even installation can happen first.
Once your system is ready, the net meter request becomes the final step before connecting to the grid.
Step-by-Step: Your Solar Journey Without a Net Meter
1. Site Assessment
A solar expert evaluates your rooftop, checks sunlight availability, and plans system capacity. No meter is required at this stage.
2. System Design
Your installer creates a customised system design based on your home’s energy usage and eligible solar capacity, ensuring every panel counts.
3. Paperwork Preparation
Even before the net meter is installed, you can begin the net metering application, gather property and ID documents, and prepare subsidy-related paperwork. This often saves weeks later.
4. Solar Panel Installation
The mounting structure, inverter, and panels can be installed before meter approval. Installers perform offline performance checks to ensure system quality and safety.
5. Metering and Commissioning
After the local DISCOM completes its inspection and approval, the bi-directional net meter is installed. This is when your system officially connects to the grid and bill savings begin.

Most delays happen due to lack of clear information, not technical limitations.
