Abstract

This study focuses on alternative grid tariffs for household customers with roof top photovoltaic (PV) panels (‘prosumers’), and evaluates how alternative grid tariffs might affect the benefit from investing in a roof top PV panel. The study further shows how different orientations of the PV panels can affect the benefits for the prosumers subjected to different grid tariffs (e.g. a power grid tariff), where the idea is that self-consumption will produce the best economic yield. First different alternatives for distribution grid tariffs to household customers and prosumers are presented. Afterwards, the study presents empirical data showing typical consumption and generation for some households with PV panels (located in south-eastern and central Norway).
