A house that generates income. Selling electricity from solar panels

In December 2019, the State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted amendments to Law No. 35-FZ "On the Electricity Industry": "On amendments to the Federal Law "On Electricity" in terms of the development of microgeneration "(project No. 581324-7).

In these amendments, the so-called "microgeneration subject" of electricity appears. And now anyone (private person) who has microgeneration power up to 15 kW - can sell electricity to the grid. Electricity can be generated by all available and legal means: solar panels, wind generators, diesel, gas generators, micro and mini hydroelectric power plants.

Selling excess electricity by private home owners is not an entrepreneurial activity. You do not need to register an individual entrepreneur or legal entity. And private owners of such micro-generating electrical installations were even exempted from paying personal income tax 13% until 01.01.2029.

Everything seems to be beautiful and convenient for the development of “green” and alternative energy technologies. But there is a fly in the ointment in this scheme.

The sale of electricity will be carried out at a wholesale price: 1-1.5 rubles / kW * h. And if you need to consume electricity from the network (using bidirectional meters), then a private owner buildings will be able to do this only at a retail price, which in some regions can reach 4-5 RUB / kW * h

Those. using electrical networks as an accumulator of electricity will not work.

A similar law has been adopted in Ukraine. They are already introducing this opportunity to sell surplus electricity to the grid.

House of 170 m2, where solar panels with a maximum power of 33 kWh are installed on a pitched roof and a canopy. System without accumulating electricity in the battery. This greatly reduces the cost of the project. According to the statements of the company that installed this project, the income that this micro-generating solar installation will bring in the summer month will amount to 20 thousand hryvnia (about 54 thousand USD). rub.). It is likely that Ukraine is allowed to generate more than 15 kWh of electricity for sale on the grid. And it is sold at retail price.

There are quite a lot of sunny days and this installation can pay off in 4-5 years, according to the assurances of a company representative. And in retirement, this will already be some kind of income that can be accumulated and spent on heating in the winter months. I believe that such a setup will also be interesting for the southern regions of the Russian Federation: Krasnodar Territory, Rostov Region, Astrakhan, etc. Where there are many sunny days and strong solar radiation ...

If in these regions for 6 months of the year there will be an optimal generation of electricity, let's say 9 hours a day, then with 20 sunny days a month at a rate of 1.5 rubles / kW * h you can earn 200 rub / day or about 4 thous. RUB / month These are funds to accumulate and spend them at night (air conditioning, etc. consumers), as well as in winter use for heating from electricity. Alternative to main gas with a connection of 300-500 thous. rub.

There is one more subtlety that hinders development - this is cost. Now a 300 W panel costs 10 thousand. rub. For 15 kWh, 50 such panels are needed. This is only for them the cost of 500 thousand. rub. In our country, the project will not be recouped. Maybe someone knows where to get inexpensive solar panels?
