How to get good money for surplus PV electricity

Everyone is talking about the climate crisis and the energy transition that has become necessary. Many private individuals have installed PV systems, but do not know how they can get the most out of their ecological commitment. ÖMAG (the green electricity settlement agency) only buys electricity from operators at well below the market price. But there are some obvious alternatives.

The shock was deep for all those who had invested a lot of money in installing a PV system on the roof of their family home. Since January 1, they have been literally "fobbed off" when feeding surplus electricity into the ÖMAG grid. This is because the state settlement agency for green electricity now only pays well below the current market price.
