Energy usage & tariffs

Residential energy usage in Plovdiv typically ranges from 15-30 kWh daily, with 8 kWh being common for a standard household. Keep in mind that 8 kWh is an annual average — summer air conditioning or winter heating can push daily usage well above this in Plovdiv.

It's worth reducing your energy usage before going solar, as this can decrease the system size you need and improve payback. Focus on better insulation and energy efficient appliances.

Representative flat export rate (feed-in tariff). What you earn per kWh of surplus solar exported to the grid. Your actual rate depends on your provider, plan, and time of day.

Estimated at the higher of the flat export rate and about 75% of the retail grid rate. A battery lets you store daytime solar and export during expensive peak hours, so each exported kWh is typically worth more than a flat feed-in tariff alone. Real returns depend on your time-of-use tariff and battery efficiency.
