Solar Panels

[elsie]

Rather a long drift from the original question, but, from a quick search, this page https://www.cre.fr/actualites/la-cre-pu ... -puissanc2 has the feed-in tariffs currently applicable. They publish revised tariffs every quarter (quarterly spreadsheets https://www.cre.fr/content/download/19600/235730) and you can see the variation. If it is the same as in the past(?), once you have signed up the rate is fixed for the length of the contract.

Again from my knowledge of a 2013 installation, For a feed-in contract, apart from the on-off installation/approval costs, etc. you will need to pay an annual Linky meter rental to record the amount of your feed-in and also any of your solar generation you have used (I pay about 43€/year) and also, above 3kW panels you have to become a micro-entrepreneur, declare you income and pay income tax.

I think the legislation is evolving all the time now that the government is trying to ease pressure on the grid. Hopefully admin will allow this link to a very useful site/forum. It's invaluable for current (ha!) info.

A clarification from this source about possible annual LINKY rental costs.

' Will there be a charge for the Linky meter in 2023? This is the question that regularly crops up in the media and on forums: is the installation of the Linky meter free? Will consumers have to pay for it later, to pay off Enedis' investment? Users are charged for installing Linky: not true If your home is still fitted with an old meter, and you are one of the 10% of households not yet equipped with a Linky meter, then you will not have to pay anything when the smart meter is installed. This is because Enedis is covering the cost of installing a Linky meter as part of the roll-out and replacement of old meters.'

Those were the days: the meterman cometh! The payment roll of ENEDIS has now been cleaned up.

There is a Linky separate from the house Linky for the solar panels to record the amount of feed-in/solar generation used . It is that which has an associated annual change from ENEDIS.

Without it there would not be a charge.

@ Elsie, the case of la revente totale d'électricité. One meter for you, one for them....In the other case, vente du surplus, you're using part of your production in your own house, one LINKY is enough, clever measuring technology inside. No extra costs for a separate raccordement to the grid.

@RobertArthur perhaps you'd better read my 2013 contract with ENEDIS and then tell them whether they were right or wrong to put in two Linky? I assumed they knew what they were doing?
After all, I have separate PDL for the house consumption and the PV. Prior to the Linky installation I had three meters, one for house consumption, one for PV injection and one for self consumption. The latter two were replaced by a single Linky.
