We will explain the steps you need to take if you wish to take advantage of this new type of consumption called self-consumption.
If you decide to install solar panels in your home and wish to be compensated for the surplus energy you do not use, here is a step by step guide:
1. Install the solar panels
It is much easier than it used to be to install photovoltaic solar panels and it is now within anyone's reach.
Endesa makes it easy for you. Say goodbye to paperwork and complications. Sign up for our Endesa Solar tariff. This tariff offers 4 different options designed to meet your needs and help you save based on your energy consumption and the surplus energy your solar panels produce.
You can choose from:
- Solar Basic: designed for those who do not feed any surplus energy into the grid.
- Solar Plus: the best option for those who feed surplus energy into the grid.
- Solar Plus with Virtual Battery: for those who feed surplus energy into the grid and also want a virtual battery.
- Or our Solar Advisory service: ideal for those who want peace of mind. On each bill, we will apply the option that suits you the most, based on the volume of your consumption and, if applicable, surplus energy feed-in.
2. Obtain the permits
These are the different procedures and papers necessary to be able to benefit from the compensation of surpluses. It is an essentially administrative affair that involves municipal and regional authorities.
Once the paperwork has been approved, it is the Autonomous Community that is responsible for transferring the data for your photovoltaic installation to your electricity distributor. The distributor then notifies your marketer. If you have doubts about the role of each, we will here explain what a distributor does and what a marketer does.
But why worry about all these procedures? Leave it to us, we will take care of everything:
3. Contract a tariff with compensation for surpluses
In order to be able sell electricity you need to contract an electricity tariff that includes compensation for surplus energy.
These types of tariffs, such as the Solar Plus and Solar Plus with Virtual Battery options from Endesa Solar, allow you to save on your electricity bill by taking advantage of the energy your solar panels produce but your home doesn’t consume.
This tariff is based on turning these surpluses into discounts with regard to consumption in your electricity bill. The power section however remains the same and this you will always have to pay. If you have any doubts with regard to the consumption section and the power sections, we will explain this in the section how to understand your Endesa bill.
Depending on your surpluses, we could reach a maximum discount of 100% in the consumption section. In other words: Pay 0 euros for your electricity consumption.
4. To this we can add the tax benefits of installing solar panels
As well as being able to sell the electricity from your solar panels, another important source of savings in the long term are the tax benefits from using renewable energies.
Almost all city/town councils currently offer discounts on municipal taxes for the installation of solar panels.
If you install solar panels, there may be a reduction of up to 50% on property tax.
5. Keeping solar panels at full capacity
Solar panels, like any other device, require maintenance to keep them running at full capacity.
It would be no use taking all the necessary steps to "sell" electricity by installing solar panels, if over the years the panels stop working as well as at the beginning.
This why we always recommend installers who offer a guarantee, even fully comprehensive insurance.
