Many owners of solar in Raipur want to see a real bill example before they buy. Here is a worked illustration using assumed figures.
Quick answer: net units are imports minus exports; a 3 kW system can cut billed units to a small number, but fixed charges remain.
| Item | Before solar | After solar |
|---|---|---|
| Units imported | 380 | 120 |
| Units exported | 0 | 160 |
| Net billed units | 380 | 0 (credit carried) |
| Energy charge (assumed Rs 6.5/unit) | Rs 2,470 | Rs 0 |
| Fixed and other charges (assumed) | Rs 300 | Rs 300 |
| Total (approx.) | Rs 2,770 | Rs 300 |
Compare the first bill after commissioning with the same month last year and with the meter readings. Ask your vendor or CSPDCL to explain any difference. See net metering in Raipur.

| Month | Imported | Exported | Net |
|---|---|---|---|
| March | 150 | 180 | -30 (credit) |
| May | 260 | 120 | 140 |
| August | 260 | 20 | 240 |
| November | 170 | 110 | 60 |
Figures are illustrative: summer cooling raises imports, monsoon cloud reduces exports. Over a year, credits from sunny months offset higher-use months, which is why annual accounting rules matter.
