The tenant electricity model: residential PV use
The landlord thus becomes a complete electricity supplier, which means that he sells his tenants the solar electricity produced on the roof as well as the remaining electricity from the grid operator. To this end, the landlord concludes a supply contract with any electricity provider. By installing smart meters instead of the old electricity meters, the exact consumption of the individual units is recorded every 15 minutes, with the solar and residual electricity being listed separately. The landlord is therefore the electricity supplier and sets the billing prices himself. The tenant pays the instalments as usual, but now to the landlord and receives a detailed annual electricity bill. However, there is no obligation for the tenant to participate in this offer for sustainable electricity - as before, they are free to choose their electricity supplier.
This is how it works, step by step
- The PV system on the roof and new meters (smart metering system) are installed and meter readings are recorded remotely.
- The landlord becomes the electricity provider and supplies electricity from the PV system and, when the sun is not shining, electricity from the grid operator.
- The tenant terminates the existing contract with his electricity provider.
- The tenant concludes an electricity supply contract with the landlord.
- The tenant pays the landlord a monthly basic fee and a small fee for the metering system and billing.
- The tenant receives a detailed electricity bill once a year.
- The tenant is happy about the savings.
- The landlord is pleased with the PV electricity revenue and the statutory tenant electricity surcharge.
- Non-participants will continue to be supplied by an electricity supplier of your choice from the public grid.
Planning security for landlords and tenants
The landlord decides which price advantage to pass on to his tenants. The tenant can benefit from the solar power, the cumulative electricity supply contract and the tenant electricity surcharge.
The virtual totalizer model
In the virtual totalizer model, all meters (in this case Z-PV, Z-N1 to Z-N3) are regulated. The PV meter and the meters of the participants (in this case Z-PV, Z-N1 and Z-N2) must each be smart metering systems. Usually, the non-participant (here Z-N3) also receives a smart metering system. A smart metering system consists of a modern metering unit and a smart meter gateway. The meter readings from smart metering systems can be read remotely.

Tenant electricity billing made easy
The installation of intelligent, remotely readable metering equipment provides the basis for professional electricity billing. The automated recording of individual consumption and the allocation of costs to the participating tenants becomes transparent and simple. It is made even simpler by the SOLARPROJEKT 3S service, which takes care of the preparation of professional bills including consumption information and explanations and their delivery to the tenants.
Professional electricity billing
The data from the smart metering devices flows into a comprehensive tenant bill that is adapted to your needs as an electricity provider.

Current EEG remuneration rates
Guaranteed by the state for 20 years from commissioning of the PV system

| Installed power of the PV system in kW | Tenant electricity surcharge in cent/kWh | Partial feed-in remuneration in cent/kWh | Full feed-in tariff in cent/kWh |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-10 | 2,64 | 8,11 | 12,87 |
| 10-40 | 2,45 | 7,03 | 10,79 |
| 40-100 | 1,65 | 7,24 | 12,29 |
| 100-400 | 1,65 | 8,11 | 10,41 |
| 400-750 | 1,65 | 7,24 | 9,12 |
| 750-1000 | 1,65 | 5,74 | 7,62 |
You can count on this
The remuneration applies to the part of the installed capacity that falls into the respective category.
An example: A PV system with an output of 25 kW receives a state EEG partial feed-in tariff of 8.11 cents/kWh for the first 10 kW of PV electricity fed into the public grid. For the next 15 kW of output, the PV system receives a state EEG partial feed-in tariff of 7.03 cents/kWh for PV electricity fed into the public grid. For PV electricity supplied to tenants, the state pays a tenant electricity surcharge of 2.64 cents/kWh for the first 10 kW of PV system output and a tenant electricity surcharge of 2.45 cents/kWh for the next 15 kW.
For PV systems with an output of 100 kW or more, there is a statutory direct marketing obligation for PV electricity fed into the public grid. If a PV system is directly marketed, the state pays the PV system operator a direct marketing bonus of 0.4 cents/kWh for the PV electricity fed into the public grid in addition to the guaranteed EEG remuneration.
