Step 1: Install Your Solar System
Start with a grid-tied solar system to generate your own clean energy.
Step 2: Connect to the Grid
A bi-directional meter measures energy you consume and send back to the grid.
Step 3: Export Energy
Send surplus energy back to the grid, and let it work for you!

For every kWh you export, you earn credits to offset your electricity bills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about net metering in Zimbabwe and how Solarpro can help you participate in this energy-saving program.
How does net metering benefit me?
Net metering allows you to earn credits for the excess solar energy you export to the grid. These credits can offset your electricity bills, helping you save money while contributing to a sustainable future.
What if I don’t have a bi-directional inverter?
Solarpro offers installation of ZESA-compliant bi-directional inverters, which are mandatory for net metering. Our team ensures that your system meets all regulatory requirements. We can also upgrade your existing system to ensure you benefit from the net metering program when it comes in your area.
What are the rules for net metering in Zimbabwe?
According to Statutory Instrument 38 of 2022, Zimbabwe's net metering program allows systems up to 5 MW to participate. For every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy exported to the grid:
- Domestic customers earn 0.8 kWh credit.
- Industrial customers earn 0.85 kWh credit.
Credits roll over to the next billing cycle, helping you save even more over time.
Can Solarpro handle the entire net metering process?
Yes! Solarpro manages everything from solar system installation to ensuring your setup is compliant with ZESA's net metering requirements. We also assist with completing and submitting the necessary applications to ZETDC.
