What is the compensation for solar consumption surpluses?

Also called Solar Self-Consumption ("Autoconsumo" in Spain), is one of the many benefits of solar panels.

The way in which compensation for excess consumption of solar panels works, is that your energy bill is deducted from what you have generated from surplus to the point that the energy consumption on the bill can reach €0.

Unfortunately, by the decision of the government, there is no way to get paid money in exchange for surpluses.

But from Energy Nordic, we offer you the total that your distributor returns to you for your surpluses without taking any commission!

Requirements to benefit from the simplified surplus compensation mechanism

The installations of photovoltaic solar panels that take advantage of this self-consumption modality can be individual or collective (connected to the internal network) and must meet the following requirements:

  • The energy source must be renewable.
  • The power of the installation or associated installations cannot be greater than 100 kW.
  • The consumer has adhered to a single supply contract for consumption with a marketer.
  • The consumer (owner of the supply) and producer (owner of the installation) have agreed to a surplus compensation contract as specified in article 14 of RD 244/2019.
  • The consumer will not be able to benefit economically because it is not a remunerative activity. You can only compensate for the energy that you have not consumed, so the result of the bill will never be negative.
