Solar power abundance
Feed-in contracts terminated: does PV still pay off?
Tens of thousands of Austrians who harvest solar energy from rooftops, high-tech garden fences and balcony power plants and feed it into the grid are confronted with terminated contracts and reduced revenues from their surplus energy. Many are therefore asking themselves: is photovoltaics still worthwhile?
It all began with the Russian invasion of Ukraine: high electricity prices led to a run on photovoltaics, and solar panels were eagerly installed on roofs all over Austria. The many systems now generate a considerable surplus during the hours of sunshine, which many sell to energy providers as part of a feed-in contract.
This was a lucrative business when electricity prices were skyrocketing - some suppliers were offering up to 50 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) when electricity prices were high. In the meantime, however, prices have fallen again to such an extent that energy suppliers are becoming stingy with feed-in contracts.
Where feeders get the best prices
This is causing unrest - not only among those who have had their contracts terminated, but also among people who also produce their own electricity and want to sell surpluses. Krone+ reveals whether feeding into the grid is profitable, where feeders still get the best prices - and how to use the electricity generated as efficiently as possible.
