Solar panels gonna be useless?

[mehwish13]

My brother in law wanted to install solar panels to get rid of hefty bills but he cancelled the plan after getting the info that government is going to charge 5x the unit price to solar panels users if they used any. And mostly one have to use it in night (if so) and also in peak hours. Also the units reversed to wapda will be adjusted back at 5x price too..

So cutting short they'll receive some fked up high bills despite consuming very low units. As one of his friend received 4 lac bill despite having solar panels installed. Wapda said it's of last 4 months combine with 5x the unit price. And now he's gonna pay in installments.

Any one who can confirm if it's authentic or not? as it sounds pretty much a rumor but i have seen one case..

have to use it in night

Solar-panels? at night? Powered by the moon?

Alone this tells me how authentic the information is.

We don´t know where you live nor what your government is.
I´d go on your government´s or electrical energy provider´s internet site to get first hand informations. Black on white. Don´t rely on hearsay.

In my country the government is more likely to (it changes from time to time) support the installation of solar panels.
It surely may depend on size (kW peak), private vs industrial usage, battery usage, on-grid, off-grid, area, quality of mains distribution grid ... and so on.

Please don't suggest this to the UK government, they want to tax us to death already.
We do have a "feed in tariff" scheme where power you produce but don't use can be fed to the grid and you receive a payment per KWH for it but I'm sure they would want it changed so you pay more for power you generate for yourself and they give you more back for solar power produced overnight.
