# Feed-in tariffs

### Creating a new entry

1. Specify country

2. (optional) Specify location

3. Specify name e.g. PV tariff 1, EEG May 2017, …

4. Specify User ID The selected user ID determines the visibility of the record.

5. (optional) Specify type of installation e.g. building systems

6. Specify period of validity Defines the start of the subsidy

7. Specify Payout period

8. Specify tariff limits

Definition tariffs: PV generator power is given in PV*SOL® under STC conditions. The rates are calculated accordingly. The definition of generator output and tariff limits may differ due to different promotion guidelines or due to the grid operator’s own definitions.

• Tariff zoning An averaged feed-in tariff is calculated for all output ranges up to the installed PV generator output. The entire PV generator output is first divided up between the individual feed-in connections or zones and then added up.

• Graduation of tariffs With the graduated tariff, the feed-in tariff changes abruptly when a power limit is exceeded. This means that the feed-in tariff results directly from the installed PV output. Example Feed-in rate 1: from 0 kW ; 1 EUR/kWh Feed-in rate 2: from 30 kW ; 0,5 EUR/kWh PV generator power: 50 kWp Feed-in tariff paid out Tariff zoning: 0,8 €/kWh $\left( \frac{30 \text{ kW}}{50 \text{ kWp}} \cdot 1 \text{ €/kWh} + \frac{20 \text{ kW}}{50 \text{ kWp}} \cdot 0,5 \text{ €/kWh} = 0,8 \text{ €/kWh} \right)$ Tariff graduation: 0,5 €/kWh

9. Determine rate reimbursements
Using the button, entries can be added or deleted using the button.

1. Feed-in compensation Only the directly fed PV energy is reimbursed.
2. Self-consumption
The PV energy generated that is not directly fed into the grid is taken into account. Charging of the battery is also considered as self-consumption. When you select Delivery, the values are not taken into account as revenues, but as costs.
3. Basic compensation The total PV energy generated is taken into account.

United Kingdom: Total Installed Capacity (TIC) oder Declared Net Capacity (DNC)

TIC is the maximum DC power at average irradiation of the best month, with a clear sky and an optimal angle of inclination.
The DNC is the TIC minus all losses up to the inverter as AC power.If these definitions are used, the tariff zones must be adjusted accordingly.
