So, again you have no idea what facts are. I don't care if you cannot see the advantage of PV. That you are opposed to PV because EAC purchased in old contracts 7 years ago a high price of 34 cent makes me laugh. Investors deserved this high price in 2011 as the investment was so much higher than now. In the meantime, as the solar panels are cheaper, EAC pays only between 7 and 9 cent/kWh every month different, depending of the diesel price they pay for. https://www.eac.com.cy/EN/EAC/Renewable ... 20ΑΓΓΛ.pdfDevil wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 1:57 pmNow, from your own words, why I'm diametrically opposed to PV.
I have in front of me a recent EAC bill. I consumed 1,066 kWh in a 2 month period and paid €188.41, including all the extras. This is €0.1767/kWh, half of what the EAC paid in your cited case. Without the extras, I paid €98.07 or 9.2 c/kWh retail. The wholesale price would therefore be about 6 c/kWh.
So your PV farm is receiving 5½ times the true cost of EAC electricity for the honour of supplying the grid. It is a scam that we, consumers, are paying for, through the nose (also for wind farms on a slightly lesser rate).
Perhaps you are not interested what is recently going on in Cyprus with larger scale installations but other people are:

By the way: for my 20 kWp installation at Polis area, built 2009, I get an feed-in price of 38.4 cent/kWh, my recent installed net-metering system produced enough that my last bill was 27.65 Euro + VAT. and I am happy with that.... (The early bird catches....)
