    Abstract

    Net energy metering (NEM) is a substitute for feed-in- tariff (FiT) for the encouragement and advancement of small scale distributed generation, especially in the residential sector. Currently, the applications of NEM are relatively confined but due to active role of many countries, it is gradually acquiring its foothold in the smart grid paradigm. However to make this policy successful in every parts of the world, the policies need to be revised and updated. This paper proposes a model for economic evaluation of net metering environment. Four cases are considered depending on house location considering only roof-top solar generation as renewable energy source. The difference in revenue earned and payback period among the four cases and the location biased nature of net metering are the major findings. The entire simulation is done in MATLAB simulink.
