I got a tiny one on my balcony last year. With WFH it doesn't put anything through to the grid but already lowered our consumption by 1/10, which is pretty amazing. Plugs into a regular socket. Power provider exchanged the meter to be able to handle it for free, and everything else was also very smooth. I am very happy with it and would put up more, if I had the space.
“To be able to handle it” means a meter that will not record any negative consumption to prevent them from having to pay you for excess energy.
Means a meter that records input as well as output and no, Germany so far does not have anything in place where regular folk get paid for what they input.
But as I said, everything I generate goes directly into my own consumption, so I don't mind much.
Do you have a link to some thing like the one that you got?
I would really like a solution like this, not some full on integrated into my house, sells surplus back to the grid kind of solution, just some thing to slightly reduce how much I fall back to the grid for power without insane installation costs would be amazing.
I got my stuff from priwatt. They got most types of solutions. Possibly a bit more expensive than elsewhere, but they handle a lot of the paperwork as well.
