The Best Solar Self-Consumption Tariff in 2025

If you already have solar panels or are planning to install them, there’s one essential question: Which electricity tariff gives you the most savings? At RenovaEnergy, we guide you through finding the best plan to make your solar installation even more profitable.

What should a good solar tariff include?

Not all energy plans are designed for solar users. A good self-consumption tariff should:

• Offer a fair rate for excess energy you feed into the grid
• Include a competitive kWh price for non-solar hours (nighttime, winter)
• No hidden costs, fees, or forced service bundles

How does surplus compensation work?

With simplified compensation, the value of unused solar energy is deducted from your electricity bill. But rates vary by provider, and some set limits on monthly credits.

Should I choose a fixed, variable, or time-of-use tariff?

• Fixed-rate: Stable and predictable, good for consistent consumption patterns
• Variable/indexed rate: Follows the real market price, which can offer savings—but less predictability
• Time-of-use (TOU): Great if you can shift your usage to off-peak hours

If you have a solar battery, TOU tariffs can help you charge when energy is cheapest and use it when rates are high.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Choosing a plan just because of a low kWh price without checking compensation
• Paying for added services you don’t need
• Not reviewing your tariff annually—many increase after the first year
