☀️ Solar panels in Czechia: 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 Czechia

Solar panels

Households with their own solar panels can share electricity with other consumption points through the Electricity Data Centre (EDC); it lowers the recipient's bill. Sharing needs a 15-minute (smart) meter, installed free by the distributor. Surplus can also be sold to a trader under contract.
