Any questions? We’ll answer them
Which company pays the best rate for surplus solar energy?
There’s no single answer: it depends on how much you feed into the grid and whether the standard tariff or the virtual battery option works out better for you. In our comparison, tariffs such as Octopus, Total Energies and Naturgy offer the highest price per surplus kWh, but the best option for you is determined by comparing that price with your generation and consumption. We’ll calculate it for you free of charge using your bill.
How is the best surplus tariff calculated for my situation?
Three factors are compared: the price each company pays for the kWh you feed into the grid, the compensation mechanism (simple or virtual battery) and your generation versus consumption profile. A tariff with an excellent surplus price may not be the best option if you generate more than you consume, because the simple compensation mechanism does not pay you for anything above your consumption. Our advisers will work this out for you.
Is the price of surplus energy the only thing that matters when choosing a tariff?
No. As well as the compensated €/kWh, they take into account the price of the electricity you consume from the grid, your contracted power, the contract term, and whether you can use the balance from the virtual battery for other supplies. A tariff with the highest surplus but the most expensive electricity could end up costing you more. That’s why we compare the overall picture, not just a single figure.
How much can I save by switching to the best surplus energy tariff?
The savings depend on your setup and the tariff you’re currently on. Many self-consumers are on contracts with below-market compensation without realising it. By comparing tariffs and switching to the one that pays the most for your surplus electricity, the annual savings can be significant. We’ll give you a specific figure once we’ve reviewed your bill.
Can I switch to the best surplus energy tariff without making any changes to my installation?
Yes. Changing your tariff or energy supplier does not affect your solar panels or your self-consumption meter; it does not require any building work and is free of charge. We simply update your contract to reflect the new compensation terms. We take care of all the paperwork, and your new tariff will be active within a few days.
How often should I check whether I’m on the best surplus energy tariff?
Al menos una vez al año. Las comercializadoras cambian con frecuencia el precio al que compensan los excedentes, así que una tarifa que era la mejor hace un año puede haber dejado de serlo. Revisar tu tarifa periódicamente es la forma de asegurarte de que sigues aprovechando al máximo tus placas.
