Quindi, mentre siamo al lavoro, la nostra iniezione dai nostri pannelli torna direttamente alla compagnia energetica e quando siamo a casa la sera dobbiamo pagare il prezzo normale per kWh?
Che tipo di idiota lo ha inventato … ?

Why is this a surprise to you?
You can compare contracts, for how much you get for the energy that you inject onto the grid.. (i think some of them give you nothing at all?)
“Working as intended” I’m afraid š
Pick a job where you need to do night shifts, problem solved
Unfortunately, thereās a logical reason for that. The energy you produce is not āstackedā somewhere waiting for use, it is sent to the network and generates tension. That tension is detrimental, so price of electricity lowers when solar panels generate energy to promote use. When we use the most energy (5-9pm), solar panels donāt produce as much and the demand exceeds the supply. This is actually more logical to look at. Also why big energy users (chemical companies) use during the night, because of nuclear production there is again over tension at night and energy becomes virtually free. Terrible for solar panels owners but logical from an electricity point of view. Fortunately, you can do something, like smart heating/ventilation/ use of your produced energy during peak hours. At home, we have a smart grid making sure we heat when we actually produce energy.
Oh no, when I don’t want electricity, nobody else wants it either. š
Yes, 1 kWh you make is not the same as the kWh from the company. In that kWh is included: costs for maintaining the energy infrastructure, taxes, investments in further energy infrastructure and other things companies need.
Hence why a home battery might be an interesting investment.
Get a home/wall battery , you’re a bit late for the subsidie though.
Yep, this is exactly why thereās been so many people refusing to get a digital meter. The government yet again succeeded in making a green investment completely worthless
Yes thatās how it works with the new digital meters. You inject electricity on the grid that someone else might be using at that time. However at night when there is no sun the electricity has to be generated with nuclear or fossil power thatās why you pay the normal price.
If you want to benefit from your solar make sure to use heat generating appliances like cooking, washing and heating when the sun shines. There are a few suppliers that offer better prices for injected electricity. Last time I checked Bolt pays ā¬0.05/KwH
What is the problem ? You are generating energy when you don’t have a demand for it. At a time that there is a lot of energy on the grid. You will net get much for it. In the evening, with no sun, gas, nuclear power plants will have to spool up to power your home. That costs money.
Install a battery. The old meter allowed you to use the net as a free battery, at everybody’s else’s expense.
But the Walloons and the Brusselaars can keep their terugdraaiende teller. Another way of fucking the Flemish people šĀ
Nobody made this up, it’s common sense.
Waitā¦ so youāre telling me that when everyone is at work, there’s too much solar power and it’s worth lessā¦ and when everyone comes home and needs electricity, it costs more? Sounds like some kind ofā¦ ECONOMIC PRINCIPLE. Who could have foreseen this?!
Use electricity during the day. Most devices have times you can set so they start at a specified time.
The “idiots” that made this up, know how infrastructure works. They also made quite a few websites explaining why it works this way. If you can’t be bothered to check any of this, it’s 100% your own fault.
Schedule devices, especially energy intensive devices, to run during the day. You can automate some of this.
Home battery or a boiler to store the energy.
I bought my home battery a few years ago. Thanks to the government cashback and the energy crisis Iāve already passed my break-even point and I still have 6 years warranty left. Battery (and EV) charge with excess solar power instead of injecting it back on the grid. My house is 400m2 and fully electric and I pay 80 euros a month which are mostly the fees and not actual consumption. From April-October I take 0 kWh from the grid.Ā
if you think backing up energy is free, go buy a battery?
Thatās because you think of the grid as a huge battery, which it obviously is not. A shortage of electricity is expensive but can be bought relatively cheap in neighboring countries.
A surplus is way worse. When the sun is shining here (or when its windy) itās probably also sunny (or windy) in the Netherlands, Germany, France etc. Selling a surplus of electricity is actually way more expensive than buying a shortage, because they probably also have a surplus then.
Iām not saying I enjoy it, but thatās how the international energy market works.
