Net Billing Solar Systems in Cyprus

Grid-tied solar engineered for the way Net Billing actually works: self-consumption first.

All new solar installations in Cyprus operate under the Net Billing scheme. The principle is straightforward but it changes everything about good system design: the energy you export to the grid is credited at a rate substantially lower than the price you pay for the electricity you import. Under the older net metering logic, every kilowatt-hour exported was worth the same as one consumed. That is no longer true.

The practical consequence is that the value of a solar system now comes mainly from the energy you use directly, at the moment your panels produce it. A system sized to flood the grid with cheap exports delivers a poor return. A system sized to your real consumption, so that most of its production is used in the home, delivers a strong one. This is the single most important idea in Cyprus solar today, and it is the foundation of how we design.

What a well-designed Net Billing system delivers

Lower electricity bills

Every kilowatt-hour you generate and use yourself is one you do not buy at the full import rate.

Sizing from your real data

We start from your EAC bills, not your roof area, so you do not pay for capacity that simply exports cheaply.

A clear upgrade path

A correctly designed system can accept battery storage later, when it makes sense for you.

Transparent assumptions

We show the self-consumption share we assumed and how we calculated it, so the numbers refer to your home.

Who this is suitable for

Net Billing without a battery suits households and businesses that consume a good share of their electricity during daylight hours: people who work from home, run appliances or pool pumps at midday, or operate a daytime business. If most of your consumption happens after sunset, we will usually recommend looking at battery storage as well, because a solar-only system would export much of its production at the low credit rate. We tell you honestly which case you fall into during the assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, when the system is designed for self-consumption rather than export. The economics reward using your own production directly, which means correct sizing and, for many homes, battery storage. We model your specific case before recommending anything.

That depends on your consumption pattern, not your roof size. We analyse your EAC bills to estimate how much you can realistically self-consume, then size the system to that. Oversizing under Net Billing wastes money.

Yes, but at a lower rate than you pay for imports. The exact tariffs are set by the regulator and can change, so we review the current terms with you using your own bill.
