Can I Sell My Surplus Electricity, and What Can I Earn
Can I Sell My Surplus Electricity, and What Can I Earn?
Yes, with a modern solar panel system from EcoRay, you can sell your surplus electricity directly to the grid – and in many cases, earn significantly from it. This makes solar panels an even better investment, especially if you combine them with a battery and grid balancing.
How Does It Work?
When your solar panel system produces more electricity than you use yourself, the surplus electricity is sent out to the grid. You are compensated for this electricity via a so-called buy-and-sell agreement with an electricity supplier. With an intelligent inverter and battery, you can: Store electricity when prices are low. Sell when the price on the electricity market is high. Participate in grid balancing, where you get paid for helping the grid with stability.
Example: What Can You Earn?
For a household with an annual consumption of 8,000 kWh and a 10 kWp system: Earnings depend on electricity prices, your self-consumption share, and how actively your system participates in the market.
What Does It Require?
You need: A battery solution and hybrid inverter, which allow you to control and customize your sales. An agreement with a provider, e.g., Andel Energi, Watts, or Barry – or an aggregator that automates sales. A system set up for dynamic electricity trading, which EcoRay offers.
Tax and Duties?
As a private individual, you can sell up to DKK 7,000 per year tax-free. If you exceed this, normal taxation applies – but we will advise you from here. In some cases, you can get a VAT refund on the investment if you actively participate in sales.

We dimension and install your system so that it automatically optimizes for both self-consumption and sales – depending on time, price, and grid needs. You get: A complete solution with intelligent sales and automatic control. Access to grid balancing – a new opportunity to earn money passively. Advice on tax, settlement, and practical matters.
In short: You don't just get cheap electricity – you get a platform that can earn money for you, every day.
