☀️ Solar panels in Romania: what do I get for the power I feed in?

The short answer

If you produce more than you use, the surplus goes into the grid. How you are paid for it depends on the national scheme.

📜 The rules in Romania

Solar panels

Households with renewable systems up to 400 kW per site can become prosumers and sell surplus power to their supplier; systems up to 200 kW can use quantitative netting. ANRE is consulting on transitional rules for contracts signed until 31 December 2026, so check for changes.
