I have been wondering one thing:

when residential #solarPanel installations produce energy that is used in the same house and not sold to the grid, is it counted in the stats about the renewable energy production of a country / grid-area-whatever? Or does it get missed because the grid never sees it? Or does it depend on the local regulations?

does anybody know?

@valhalla@social.gl-como.it good question. I had assumed that either it was an estimate based on the capacity installed and local weather conditions, or the home systems are reporting in.

@valhalla@social.gl-como.it of course now in Australia, they’re rolling out smart meters, so I presume the reporting method might become more prevalent.
