Alessandro14 Dec 2020 14:25I came across a rather interesting concept where the electricity generated by a photovoltaic system is stored in a cloud. In winter, when the photovoltaic system does not produce any power, electricity can then be drawn from this cloud—similar to a bank account. Of course, there are basic fees involved, but according to the website, there don’t seem to be any additional costs. At least, I haven’t found anything negative so far.
Has anyone had any experience with this kind of concept? I looked into the website of Senec.

The idea is great; as a customer, you get the impression that you are using all the electricity you generate yourself – which is actually nonsense, because there are no physical storage systems for the electricity you feed into the grid. In winter, you receive electricity from a source preferred by the provider (hopefully a named renewable source) – and that is not entirely accurate either. It is purely a commercial arrangement based on the "balancing group" concept in the power grid.
A great option if the offer is affordable and fair. Some of these offers are surprisingly expensive.

Alessandro14 Dec 2020 15:33Yes, that is clear. For the small amount of electricity I need during the summer compared to the electricity for heating with a heat pump, photovoltaics are not economical for me.
That’s why I am looking for a solution to cover at least part of the electricity demand with photovoltaics during the winter as well.

A small private wind turbine is also cool, but not yet economical.

I checked out the website of SENEC.What a complex setup!- SENEC storage system required
- Waiver of the full feed-in tariff during the contract period, with settlement at the end (however exactly it is calculated)
- Costs starting at 15€ per month
- Excess consumption charged at 27 cents
- Unclear procedure
