The feed-in renumeration can be put together from different feed-in tariffs with different validity periods.
You can also define the feed-in tariff via the menu Databases > Feed-in Tariff or via the page Financial Analysis > (Feed-in tariffs) Select > Edit.
-> The data for a feed-in tariff is:
Country, Location: Scope
Type of Installation: e.g. Roof integrated or mounted - open space
Name: e.g. EEG 2012
Valid from: Start of the subsidy
Payout duration: The power companies supplement PV current for a set period of time and afterward usually only pay the statutory minimum remuneration.
Power Thresholds: The resulting To Grid Tariff is calculated differently depending on the selection made.
Tariff Zones:
In the case of tariff zones, the payment received for Grid Supply changes nearly constantly. The payment received for Grid Supply is averaged across all power ranges up to the installed PV output.
Example:
From 0-30 kW: € 1
starting at 30 kW € 0.5
A system capacity of 50 kW results in a Grid Supply payment of 30/50*€; 1 + 20/50*€ 0.50, or in other words € 0.8.
Tariff Bands:
In the case of tariff bands, there is a sudden change in the payment received for Grid Supply if a power limit is exceeded. The feed-in tariff is directly calculated based on the installed output. In the example above, the payment received for Grid Supply for all power would be € 0.50.
Tariff power band definitions: The default PV generator output in PV*SOL is stated under STC conditions. The tariff bands are then calculated accordingly. However in some countries, the generator output and tariff boundaries have a different definition because of subsidies or the grid network operator.
UK: Total Installed Capacity (TIC) or Declared Net Capacity (DNC)
For TIC is taken at maximum DC array power averaged within the best month’s irradiance with clear sky at optimum tilt angle. For DNC this would be the TIC less all the losses measured until after the inverter and expressed as AC output. If these definitions are used, the tariff bands must be adjusted accordingly.
Feed-in Remuneration: in €/kWh (or $/kWh) for different power levels in kWh
Own use Remuneration: Remuneration in €/kWh (or $/kWh) from specified percentage or power in kWh.
Basic Feed-in Payment: Here you can define the To Grid Tariff that will apply after the payout duration.
