Between rising prices, climate change and the emergence of renewable energies, many of you are wondering about the possibility of producing your own electricity. By installing photovoltaic solar panels on your home (roof, carport, etc.), you can consume your own electricity or secure additional income by selling your production.

* State-guaranteed feed-in tariff: This feed-in tariff (for the residual or total electricity production fed into the grid) is a tariff regulated by the Grand-Ducal regulation of 12 April 2019 in the framework of the Compensation Mechanism. This tariff is fixed and guaranteed for a period of 15 years and depends on the date of activation of the electricity production installation.
** Flexible feed-in tariff with a selected supplier: This feed-in tariff (for the residual or total electricity production fed into the grid) is a flexible tariff offered by a supplier of your choice, often based on variable wholesale energy market prices. The duration of the contract depends on the agreement with your selected supplier.
