Electricity Use With Solar Panels

AncientMariner over 5 years ago

I have just been asked about solar panels in a domestic environment and not wanting to guess and likely get it wrong, thought best to ask here.

With solar panels are you paid for what you generate in total, ie the output from the inverter? Or are you paid for the net amount that you actually export ie the difference between the inverter output and whatever is being used in the property?

Thanks.

Well, all 'govt' money is a tax on some other activity of course, just in this case the connection was direct.

As an aside, the amount you may get for exporting surplus production varies over 3 orders of magnitude with different suppliers.

I cannot see Shell Energy keeping many customers with solar panels (scroll to the comparison table) I detect an element of 'contractual obligation' rather than keenness
