☀️ Solar panels in Poland: 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 Poland

Solar panels

New prosumers (since 1 April 2022) sell surplus solar power at market prices; its value goes into a prosumer deposit used to pay future bills. Since 27 Dec 2024 the deposit value is increased by 23%. Older prosumers keep their previous scheme.
