GermanyThe article discusses the concept of 'Nulleinspeisung' (zero feed-in) for photovoltaic (PV) systems in Germany, where homeowners install solar panels but do not feed excess electricity into the grid. This approach could become more relevant after 2027, as the fixed feed-in tariffs for small installations under 25 kW may be eliminated according to current federal government plans. Without these tariffs, those who wish to sell surplus electricity would need to use third-party services, which involve fixed costs and administrative effort. While large solar farms already practice direct marketing of their electricity, this is not yet common for smaller rooftop installations. The article explains that Nulleinspeisung eliminates the need for feed-in management systems, but still requires an intelligent metering system. Additionally, such systems are subject to notification and registration requirements. Whether Nulleinspeisung is economically viable depends largely on the household’s self-consumption rate.

It outlines potential implications of policy changes without taking a stance on whether the policies are good or bad, focusing instead on practical considerations
