Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

[superczar]

More questions for you,

1. When did you get your solar setup?
2. Do you have a single phase or 3 phase connection?
3. What have you done to deal with the power outages?

3 phase since my existing supply is 3 phase but you can get up to 5 or 6kw approved for single phase supply also.

as for power outages and backup, thats a completely different problem set which is totally unrelated to a solar setup.
an on-grid solar setup anyway shuts down when there is a power outage .

The solar inverter output links up to the mains supply before your house MCB so whatever existing backup setup you have (eg DG in my case but could very well be an inverter elsewhere) will continue to work as is

So, I guess only one of the meters is a net-meter, correct?

I asked because I thought we would have an on-grid solar inverter that also functions as a backup by now.

The existing meter gets replaced with a net meter at time of commissioning.
At end of month, the meter reading will include 3 elements viz total produced, total in (from grid) and total out (to grid)
You will be billed for total in minus total out

Regarding your second question, there is no added advantage of storing power on the solar output end.
You are better off using a normal backup method (traditional inverter) instead
