Green tariff for individuals
Today, solar stations installed for private households do not just solve the problem of power supply, this solution becomes a source of stable passive income in 5-6 years after the payback period is over. This opportunity opens "green tariff" for individuals. The program provides for interaction with the state power grid and requires compliance with a number of conditions for connection.
"Green tariff" for individuals - how to make money on alternative energy
The European trend of switching to alternative sources of electricity since 2015 has been successfully implemented among private consumers in Ukraine. The current program is planned until 2030, after which a review of its terms and conditions is expected.
Solar panels installed in a private household are considered as a promising investment. At the beginning of 2022, more than 45 thousand successfully operating home stations were recorded throughout the country, and this is far from the limit. A private solar power plant provides its owners with a number of obvious advantages and allows them to look to the future with greater confidence.
What the program offers
"Green tariff" for individuals involves the purchase from individuals of capacity generated by alternative energy sources. Within the framework of the program, it is possible to provide a loan for the purchase of photomodules or partial compensation for the costs of designing and installing solar power plants, if such an option is provided by government and banking structures.
A decrease in utility bills is observed immediately after the station is put into operation. Owners of private households manage to get a net income after a few years, when the expensive investment pays off in full.
You can connect the "feed-in tariff" for households if a number of conditions are met:
- The solar station is installed on the roof of a private house or the territory adjacent to it;
- The power of the connection point to the stationary power grid corresponds to the total power of the photomodules. According to the program, this value should not exceed 30 kW.
- The equipment of a private solar power plant has certificates and a passport that meets the requirements of the current legislation.
In order for the sale of green energy to be realized with the maximum benefit for the owner of a private solar power plant, SUNSAYEnergy experts evaluate the position of the roof or facade relative to the cardinal points, choosing the installation and orientation method of photo modules in which they will work with the best efficiency. Adjustment of parameters of solar panels during operation is provided thanks to the online monitoring mode through a special application.
State guarantees for owners of private solar power plants
"Green tariff" for households implies the purchase of Oblenergo of the entire volume of unused capacity by households - this is guaranteed by the state. A bidirectional meter is responsible for accounting for electricity flows. The difference between generated and consumed capacity is paid in full at a fixed rate. The feed-in tariff rate is currently 0.16 euro cents/kWh, from 2024 this value will decrease to 0.14 euro cents. Recalculation of the cost in hryvnia occurs quarterly, depending on exchange rate fluctuations.
Procedure for joining the program
To activate the "green tariff" for individuals, you need to go through a simple procedure for preparing and issuing an SES:
- Order of the project and installation of the station .
At this stage, the installation of photomodules, the inverter unit. - Registration of an application to Oblenergo for connecting the station to a stationary power grid .
The connection diagram, equipment certificates are attached to the document. - Organizational and technical measures for the installation and connection of SES to the state network .
In the course of work, a bidirectional meter is installed, on the basis of which data will be used to calculate the "green tariff". - Conclusion of an agreement with Oblenergo .
To do this, a representative of the state structure leaves the facility. Documents are signed after inspecting the station, indicating the actual current account of the owner of the solar power plant for transferring funds for green energy.
On average, the entire procedure takes no more than one and a half months, after which the owner of the solar power plant receives a system that is completely ready for operation.
Organization of payments under the "green tariff"
Part of the energy generated by photomodules is subject to payment at a reduced rate. First of all, the capacities are directed to cover the own needs of households. The rest of the electricity is transferred to the grid. Based on the readings of a bidirectional meter, the difference between the supplied and consumed electricity from the network is calculated monthly. The state pays this difference in full at the cost provided by the program.
Due to the binding of the price of green energy to the Eurocurrency, the cost of redemption in hryvnia is periodically recalculated. As a rule, recalculations are done quarterly, based on the current euro / hryvnia exchange rate.
The billing period of the green tariff program for individuals is a calendar month. The basis for payments is the Energy Supplier's Report on meter readings, volumes and flows of supplied/consumed energy. According to the report, an act of acceptance / transmission of electricity is formed. It is drawn up between the energy supplier and the consumer and signed by authorized representatives at the beginning of each month. The term for making payment by the state is 10 banking days from the date of signing the Act.
SUNSAYEnergy specialists organize legal and technical support for the installation of a solar station for private households before connecting the program and putting the solar power plant into operation. Through the online monitoring system, it is possible to choose the optimal mode of operation of photomodules. The result of a professional approach is a quick payback of the project, optimization of consumption / transmission of electricity to increase income at the "green tariff"
