PPC myEnergy SolarNet

PPC offers you 2 Net Metering solutions:

- PPC myEnergy SolarNet⁺ (without a battery)
- PPC myEnergy Solar NetSave (with a battery for the use of stored energy during the night or whenever necessary) 

• With the all-around PPC myEnergy SolarNet+ solution, your Photovoltaic System generates electricity that is either consumed directly in your home (self-consumption) or injected into the grid. The "absorbed energy" is the electricity drawn from the grid when the PV System is not producing (at night or in cloudy weather). The "generated" energy is subtracted from the "absorbed" energy, and the supply cost for the extra kWh consumed from the grid is charged to you.
• The consumer is charged network and regulated charges for all kWh of absorbed energy; supply charges are only billed for the difference in kWh between subscribed and absorbed energy.

During the respective metering and clearing cycle by the supplier, which governs the self-consumption producer's installation, the PPP meters the electricity produced by the PV System, the electricity fed into the grid, and the electricity absorbed from the grid.

Please see the link for more information on the Network Operator's exact metering procedure.

If you had more generation and injection than absorbed electricity in a given period, the excess energy is carried forward (accounting) to the next metering cycle. Every three years, the final settlement is completed, and any excess energy generated is not compensated.

• With the all-round PPC myEnergy SolarNetSave solution, you can also store the excess energy produced by your Photovoltaic System in the Battery (with a storage capacity of up to 30kW) so that you can use it when your Photovoltaic System is not producing and you need to absorb electricity from the grid for consumption in your home (night, cloudy weather, etc.)

Those with an active electricity supply and a legally existing available space can install a Photovoltaic System (roof, pergola, and space on the plot). This space must be on your property or be legally used by you. The Photovoltaic System is suitable for installation in both single-family homes and apartment buildings. You must have exclusive use of the roof or a portion of the roof with the written consent of the other owners for installation in an apartment building. If more than one apartment owner wants to install a Photovoltaic System, separate systems can be installed on the shared roof. The basic requirement is that there is enough space on the roof for each Photovoltaic System to be installed and connected to the corresponding supply.

The photovoltaic panels generate electricity, which is then passed through the inverter. A portion or all of this energy is directly consumed (synchronization). If there is surplus energy, it is injected back into the grid.

PPC myEnergy SolarNetSave
The photovoltaic panels generate electricity, which is then passed through the inverter. A portion or all of this energy is directly consumed (synchronization). If there is any excess energy, it is used to charge the storage system (battery). If there is any remaining excess energy after charging the storage system, it is injected back into the grid.

Installing a Photovoltaic System lowers the cost of your home's electricity consumption because you consume the energy you generate. Furthermore, you reduce your environmental footprint by using green energy, which reduces the release of greenhouse gases and CO₂.

It is typically recommended for homes with an annual consumption of more than 4,000kWh and requires approximately 40 square meters of available space for a 5kW PV system, which can produce approximately 7,500kWh per year.

You will receive a personalized offer by filling out the online offer form on dei.gr. The offer will describe in detail the proposed equipment, the total cost of installing your photovoltaic system, the estimated annual production, your annual financial benefit, the payback time of your investment, and the environmental benefit.

Absorbed electrical energy: Electricity absorbed from the grid and consumed in the installation is referred to as absorbed electrical energy.

Recorded electrical energy: The energy produced by the PV system and pushed to the grid because there were no corresponding consumptions by the house to absorb the PV system's generation.

Self-consumption: Self-consumption is when the electricity generated by PV is used directly to meet the energy needs of the home.

Synchronization: Synchronization refers to the situation in which the electricity generated by the PV system is consumed at the precise moment in time at the customer's installation. The percentage of energy produced that is used to directly meet the energy needs of the installation relative to the total consumption of the installation is used to calculate the synchronization. The self-generator is charged neither electricity supply costs nor grid usage costs for the electricity self-consumed in the residence with a PV system.

Produced energy: the total amount of energy produced by the PV system, which can be used directly for home needs or injected into the grid.

It is recommended to install special equipment (solar optimizers) to improve the performance of the PV System when shadows are created at the installation site or when PV panels are placed with different orientations. The cost of the specialized equipment is determined on an individual basis.
