they're saying you might not use the extra energy if your PV runs year round. If you continuously had a year round surplus, you wouldn't have a need to buy any energy, so the credits would be monopoly money.

- knollimar 2mo agoThe grid doesn't give you money in these locations. They give you credits for future consumption. You can only spend this on energy. If you always have a surplus, you will just rack up large amounts of credits.
- IshKebab 2mo agoWhat locations? In the UK they give you actual money. You can withdraw it.
- darkwater 2mo agoIn Spain you cannit withdraw it, only spend it with the same provider. If you migrate it, you lose it. And it makes sense because it's for self-consumption, you are not an energy micro-provider.
