I thought we should bring some attention to this.

    Selling surplus production from solar panels have been pretty worthless the past month here too. But that doesn’t change that the production I use myself, is very profitable because the transport and taxes are very expensive. The electricity itself is dirt cheap currently, actually most days around zero during daytime. I bet it’s similar your place. (I’m in Denmark)

    I don’t quite understand why you feel cheated, when in fact you are also doing some tax evasion of sorts having solar panels. Are you really whining you can’t get above market price for the electricity you sell?

      Well i (didnt downvote btw) yes we pay tax on both. That is when we use power when there is no sun i have to buy it from the power company with jot just 1 but several taxes. The power i produce (i have many solarpanels and cannot use all of it when its produced) i send that back which costs money and yes also taxed. I could break down the tax system for “normal” ppl but i would just give you nightmares. I also have seen a construction a friend (accountant) of mine uses for a rich client, but thise things are so fucking complicated i just trust him when he says they pay almost nothing (1 or 2%)
