PV Feed In Tariff Part 2

Busman Paddy Lasty

Only get paid the feed in tariff after the date ESB log as having received your NC6. Could be a few weeks and totally dependent on installer submitting it promptly.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but are Pinergy the only company that give cash for microgeneration?

Yes, with a caveat, they refund you when you have excess credit, and only when you request it.

You have to use level pay and usually the starting payment per month is high.

I ended up around €500 in credit with Energia because the level pay was too high due to FIT payments

I suppose that's not so much as them paying out the FIT and more the FIT paying my bills for me

I did get the credit refunded when I was switching, and I imagine of you ask for it there shouldn't be a problem. It took a while for me because they had to escalate to finance since the credit amount was quite large

This time around I've had to argue Energia down to a level pay of €80 per month. Their magic calculator pulled €357 per month out of somewhere which is a tad over what I estimated

I could always skip the level pay but then I'd have to remember to make the payments myself which is unreliable at best

What about Normal direct debit instead of level pay?

Have gotten refunds from flogas and energia. But both was when leaving.

I’m with Energia since January 2024. I’m on direct debit and haven’t made a payment since my first bill in February 2024. My account has been in credit all the way through so the bill amount is always €0.

Got my first credit bill of the year. Im owed 29 euro. This is in part thanks to the extra 3.6kWp of solar I added to my existing 5.2kWp in April. Great when you consider we are trending toward 18,000kWh in the 12 month period.

Can the Pinergy app be accessed by PC/online?

Also, maybe I'm being thick, but does the app show what you've exported to the grid?

No it seems to be app only. They don't show export whatsoever in the app. Can be accessed in your esb account though for each day/week/month

Soarer

Thanks for that.

I've nothing showing up as exported yet. Maybe it's because the NC6 only went in earlier this week?

My install was last Tuesday, got an email from ESBN Friday at 16.30 to say they had received the application along with certs from Installer…was expecting the then 4-6 week wait…but logged into ESBN this morning and im all set up to export with an MEC. Fridays export data also showing up in the stats.
