Virtual Solar Battery Spain and is it possible to have a zero euro bill
Virtual Solar Battery Spain
Looking to reduce your electricity bill to zero? A virtual solar battery could be the answer.
This system allows you to store the value of your unused solar energy in a virtual wallet. Instead of physical storage, you receive a credit on your electricity bill for power sent back to the grid.
Let’s break down how it works—and how you can make it work for you.
What Is a Virtual Solar Battery?
A virtual solar battery is like cloud storage for your energy. If your solar panels generate more power than you use, the surplus is sent to the grid. Instead of a cash payment, your energy provider gives you credit.
These credits reduce your electricity bills and can even lead to a zero euro bill.
Depending on your supplier, the service may be free or come with a small fee. Credits can usually be used for:
- Grid electricity charges
- Daily standing charges
- Virtual battery service fees
💡 Tip: Most providers let you use credits across multiple properties with the same account.
How the Credit System Works
Imagine this: your system produces 100 kWh of energy in a month. If you don’t use it, you won’t lose it—it becomes a credit for future bills.
Benefits of Virtual Batteries:
- No need for expensive physical batteries
- Credit can offset all parts of your electricity bill
- Credits don’t expire with most suppliers
Buying vs Selling Electricity: What’s the Difference?
One important note—what you pay for electricity is always higher than what you’re paid for sending it back.
For example, as of 12 June 2024:
- Buy at 11.5 cents/kWh
- Sell at 11 cents/kWh
Even with this small gap, your overall bill will be much lower with solar panels installed.
Is It Possible to Have a Zero Euro Bill?
Yes, absolutely.
Here’s a real example from May 2024:
- Solar system: 7 kW panels + 6 kW inverter
- Produced: 1,200 kWh
- Used from solar: 550 kWh
- Used from grid: 300 kWh
- Returned to grid: 607 kWh
The Result:
💶 Total bill: €31.71
💰 Credit earned: €66.77
🎉 Most of the bill was paid using credit. The remaining balance was saved for the next month.
Their daily usage included:
- 3 air conditioners (running 24/7)
- Fridge-freezer
- Pool pump (10–12 hours)
- Washing machine
- Dishwasher
- Electric immersion heater
Without solar, the same usage would have cost around €240/month at average rates.
