How is net billing different from net metering?
Under net metering, the energy you exported was offset against what you drew from the grid. Under net billing, you use what you produce directly and any surplus is paid in money. Existing net metering contracts continue as they are.
Do I need a battery?
With net billing, a battery increases how much of your own energy you use, for example in the evening. Whether it pays off depends on when you consume. We calculate it in the study.
How much does a solar system cost?
It depends on the power, the roof and whether you add a battery. After the site visit we send a detailed quote.
Can an existing house become smart without major works?
Often, yes. Many solutions fit into the existing points of the installation. Exactly what's possible depends on your current wiring.
Which home charger do I need?
It depends on your supply. On a single-phase supply a charger usually reaches 7.4 kW, on three-phase 11 or 22 kW. We check your supply before recommending one.
Do you install chargers for rentals and businesses?
Yes. We have installed chargers at villas and a beach bar in the Plakias area.
How long is an EPC valid?
10 years. A new one is needed after a major renovation.
When is an EPC required?
For a sale, a new lease, new or extensively renovated buildings, and to join 'Exoikonomo' programmes.
When are MEP studies needed?
For every building over 50 m², before the building permit is issued.
Is fibre installation subsidised?
Yes, through the Smart Readiness programme. We're an official partner and help you through the process.
