Do you have a solar panel installation? Did you know that, in addition to saving on your electricity bill by producing clean energy, you can also “earn money” when you generate more energy than you consume? This option is known as a self-consumption photovoltaic installation with surplus compensation<\/strong>. Below, we explain how it works and how you can sign up.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

What is surplus compensation in photovoltaic self-consumption?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Simplified surplus compensation<\/strong> is a form of photovoltaic self-consumption connected to the electricity grid. As is well known, solar self-consumption users generate their own energy for consumption using their photovoltaic solar panels. Furthermore, if they do not generate enough to cover their energy demand, they can purchase the missing energy from Red El\u00e9ctrica.<\/p>\n

The advantage of self-consumption photovoltaic installations<\/a> is that if more energy is generated than consumed, the excess can be fed back into the grid, thereby maximizing the energy produced. But what benefits does discharging surplus energy offer users? The electricity grid will financially compensate them for the kilowatts discharged at the end of each billing period.<\/p>\n

What requirements do I have to meet to qualify for the surplus compensation option?<\/h2>\n

Regardless of whether the self-consumption installation is individual or collective, the essential requirements are as follows<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
