Nettosähkö

Nettosähkö refers to the net electricity consumption of a property. It is the difference between the total electricity consumed from the grid and the electricity generated by a renewable energy source on-site, such as solar panels. Essentially, it represents the amount of electricity a household or business actually needs to purchase from their electricity provider.

The calculation of nettosähkö is crucial for understanding a property's energy efficiency and the impact of self-generated renewable energy. If a property generates more electricity than it consumes, its nettosähkö will be negative, meaning it has a surplus of electricity to feed back into the grid. Conversely, if consumption exceeds generation, nettosähkö will be positive, indicating the amount of electricity that must be drawn from the external electricity network.

Regulations and electricity tariffs often consider nettosähkö. For instance, consumers are typically billed based on their positive nettosähkö. In some regions, there might be mechanisms to compensate for negative nettosähkö, such as feed-in tariffs or net metering schemes. Understanding nettosähkö is therefore important for optimizing energy usage and potentially reducing electricity costs through the implementation of renewable energy solutions.
