Bavaria's solar systems throttled, curbing self-consumed power
Original: Verhinderter Eigenverbrauch: Solar-Anlagen abgeregelt | quer vom BR
German public broadcaster BR's quer programme reports that solar installations in Bavaria are being curtailed, preventing owners from using the electricity they generate themselves. The issue of 'verhinderter Eigenverbrauch' – prevented self-consumption – is drawing attention because grid operators throttle rooftop systems at times, meaning households lose money on power they could have used. The report has sparked debate about grid capacity and compensation for solar owners.
Why now: Widespread solar adoption in Germany makes grid-related curtailment of rooftop systems a topical and financially sensitive issue for owners.
