The electricity compensation system is a legal and intelligent way of using solar energy. Basically, if you produce more energy than you consume with your solar panels, the surplus is sent to the electricity grid. In return, you receive credits that can be used when you need extra energy.
This practice is regulated by law 14.300/2022, which establishes the rules for distributed generation. It aims to encourage the use of renewable energy and reduce dependence on non-renewable sources.
Micro- and mini-generation have many merits, which is why they are being encouraged all over the world. Brazil is no exception. Generating electricity close to consumption reduces the use of transmission and distribution networks. This means less overload on the electricity system, less investment in these networks and fewer technical losses.
The benefits of this system are manifold. Firstly, you save on your electricity bill, which can reduce your monthly expenses by up to 95%. You also avoid unpleasant surprises with tariff flags, which indicate variations in the price of energy.
Another positive point is that, in some states, you can get an income tax rebate when you install renewable energy systems, such as solar panels.
To join the system, it is important to contact your local distributor and present a project. Choose a reliable company to install your solar energy system and check how the offsetting of credits will work.
With this initiative, you not only save money, but also contribute to the environment by using clean and sustainable energy, all within the established legal norms.
