What is Net-Billing and Virtual Net-Billing?

Net-Billing: This is an energy netting system, where the energy produced by photovoltaic plants that is not consumed directly is injected into the grid and compensated based on the wholesale market price at the time of injection. Netting is done in real time.

Virtual Net-Billing: It is the virtual version of Net-Billing, where the generating station and energy consumers are not in the same physical space. Ideal for collective self-consumption, such as in apartment buildings or businesses with many facilities.

What are Net-Billing PV batteries and how do they work?

Net-Billing photovoltaic batteries are energy storage systems that work with photovoltaic plants.

How they work:

They store the excess energy produced during the day by the photovoltaics. This energy can be used when production is low (e.g. at night) or during power outages. Combined with Net-Billing, excess energy that is not stored can be injected into the grid, generating additional profit.

Importance of Energy Storage

Energy storage through batteries is the key to fully exploiting renewable energy sources.

Submit an application on the DEDDIE online platform:
DEDDIE platform

For larger systems:
Submit an application through the specialized platform of DEDDIE:
Larger Systems Platform

Who can install a self-consumption photovoltaic system?

Installation rights are granted to:

In addition, it is allowed to associate one or more generating stations with one or more consumption facilities, even if they are not located in the same area, provided that they belong to the same self-consumer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Photovoltaic systems can be installed:

  • On the roofs or roofs of buildings.
  • On porches, balconies and pergolas (on a roof or uncovered plot area).
  • On facades and shades, as defined by the legislation (articles 16 and 19 of Law 4067/2012).
  • In auxiliary areas such as warehouses and parking areas.
  • On the ground or in ground mounted solar tracking systems.

To activate the connection you need:

  1. Submission of a request by the interested party, stating the facility’s readiness and accompanying the request with the necessary supporting documents.
  2. Completion of tasks by DEDDIE, such as:
  3. Counter replacement.
  4. Construction of the connection project.
  5. Check installation for secure network connection.

The connection of the photovoltaic plant to the grid includes:

  • Use of existing consumption provision (where technically possible).
  • Installation of a telemetry system to record data in real time (production, injection and consumption).
  • Metric data collected by DEDDIE for clearing energy.
  • Compliance with technical restrictions:
  • For single-phase supplies, a maximum power of 5 kWp.
  • For more power, an increase in supply to three-phase is required.
  • The connection is made to the general consumption table or above it
