Hi Andrew,

I have translated this website as much as I could from Greek to English as I found it very
interesting and with a careful reading it will answer all your questions.
Please read it careful and we can talk later so I can give you my opinion too, if you want to.

Operation
The clearing system KWh Net-Metering enables anyone who owns no permanent residence, to
install solar power system 3kw, to ensure significant savings in power consumption, since it is
estimated that the system can produce about 5000 kWh per year.
The mode of operation Net-Metering is simple and is based on the idea that the solar system is
connected directly to the network of EAC
More specifically

1. Installing the P / V system 3 kW (12 polycrystalline P / B frames or 20 P / B thin film

panels (thin film) on the roof of the house.
2. Installing new meter with which the system is connected to the EAC network and all the
energy generated by the P / B is given to the network. (No batteries)
3. Every two months the controller EAC records the measurement of both the existing
meter (eating house) and the new (production of P / B) and is removing (one by one).
4. If the production is greater than consumption, the kilowatt hours credited for the next two
months and at the end of the year (March or April) Clear and if there are more kilowatt
hours lost.

How much I will save?

An additional incentive is that a photovoltaic system is fully harmonized with nature and very
friendly to the environment as a result helps to reduce the environmental problems caused by
conventional energies.
Beyond its contribution to the energy upgrade of your home and thus our country to install a
photovoltaic system with the method of Net-Metering can offer significant savings on your
energy bill power.
A total power system 3kWp can produce at least 5000 kWh per year, resulting in savings of
approximately 1250 Euros per year from the account current. The table below can demonstrate
the expected savings:

In January - February, the house has consumed 1,000 kilowatt hours corresponding to account
280.

At the same time the P / V system of 3kW produced about 660 kilowatts.
The Owner will pay 340 (1000-660) kilowatts to 95 and will have a savings, profit 185

What is the cost?

All installations of 3kWp costs about 5000, final price + 250 for the EAC for the
meter.
The system saves the owner about 1250 per year for the life of the photovoltaic panels
that are 20 to 25 years.
The actual savings are well above the usual tariff EAC is scalable, ie the first 120kwh
charged a lower price than the next.
Depreciation is approximately 4 years and 20 years have a total savings of 22000 , with
current power prices!
A great advantage of the project Net-Metering is that it has to do with kWh. This means
that an individual is not dependent on whether the state has money, when to pay it and be
immune to any future taxation.

Who can install the system?

On ceilings legally existing dwelling units or the land within the block in which the unit / building.
Where residential units owners are more than one, then all owners will have their honor that
they agree with the implementation of such an establishment in premises.

How much space needed?

If you choose a system with polycrystalline 250W to make the installation of 3kW need 12 f / b
frames, measuring 1,67m X 1m

In sloping roof (tiles) facing south: need 20m2

Flat roof (terrace) need 30m2

If you choose a system with thin film modules 150W to make the installation of 3kW need 20 g /
b frames, measuring 1,65m X 0,65m

In sloping roof (tiles) facing south: need 22m2

Flat roof (terrace) need 32m2

Offers
Please contact us to inform you about our offers. Worth knowing that the basic principle of
GESOLAR is to send an indicative offer and then visits the site a technician for on-site
measurements. Only after in situ measurements and upon acceptance study for siting of the
system will be able to give you our final offer.

Applications
TOWARDS EAC (NOT GRANT RECIPIENTS)
Right to apply for the EAC for photovoltaic system installation purposes the method of NETMETERING have all homeowners who are interconnected with the network of EAC The NETMETERING can be applied only to the permanent residence of any individual who has erected
legally based regulations governed by the Department of Building and Housing.

years and for the voltage converters given NEAR product from 5- 25 years.
Ask our staff to inform you in detail about the guarantees of our products.

Loans
If a loan, 6.000 with 7% interest for five years, then the owner gives dose as much about is
saving of around 120 per month. That pays as much pays today the stream and after five
years will save 1400 per year for 15 years: Total savings 20 years 21.000 .
