ᐅ What is the feed-in tariff rate?

In July 2021, we had a photovoltaic system with a capacity of 6.12 kWp installed. The battery storage with 5.1 kWh was finally delivered in March 2022. However, we have already fed more than 1,000 kWh into the public grid and continue to do so because we do not consume all the energy ourselves.

When I inquired with the local grid operator, I found out that the photovoltaic system had not been registered so far. I then asked the installer, who said this had been done. Ultimately, it seems it slipped through somewhere and is now being rectified.

Where can I check at what price the fed-in energy is being reimbursed? I once read something about 7 to 8 cents. That seems ridiculous, considering how much energy is in demand. Is there any other way to use the energy more effectively or sell it at a higher price? We are not planning to order an electric vehicle yet, as our old diesel cars still run well.

You need to register yourself as the operator in the market master data register!

You can find feed-in tariffs using any common search engine.

You register in the market master data register, but the network operator registration is done by the installer. Also, the commissioning data must match. I don’t even remember the exact date anymore.

This consumer electricity price consists of three main components: 25% for electricity generation and supply, which goes to the energy provider; 52% for government-mandated taxes, fees, and surcharges; and 23% for the use of the power grid and billing services, which the grid operator receives.

You probably want the full 40 cents now, right? But then you also have to cover all additional costs.

Don’t be discouraged; most current feed-in users are in the same situation. Photovoltaics combined with battery storage is already quite good. Simply use as much energy yourself as possible. With a heat pump running, self-consumption should be over 50%, otherwise less. That self-consumption represents the real profit. If you want to change your feed-in tariff, you either have to become politically active (be prepared for a lot of resistance) or build such a large photovoltaic system that you can sell your electricity on the open market. Currently, electricity prices on the exchange are often higher than the feed-in tariff.
