Maybe it's just me, but I get the feeling that there is a lot of unnecessary bureaucratic regulations in Austria. I'm not saying we don't have that in Sweden, but it seems that when it comes to building regulations we are a little bit more relaxed than most European countries.
You really have no idea, Arrie. It might be way worse than you probably image.
Example?
Well, my neighbor is allowed to feed 8kw/h into the grid (max), because he was the first in line to install a grid connected PV.
Some other neighbor tried to register a PV as well, he has been told by the grid company that he will be allowed to feed at a rate of 2kw/h.
Bummer. He cancelled the build, so i will likely face the same limits as soon as i get a reply to my application.
...and this wasn't even a very "regulative" example. The tax law is said one of the most complicated of the world. I didn't look for proof, but it doesn't sound very wrong, if i look at my experience with income tax declaration.
I was wrapping my head around this, resulting in a future scenario of using the unused PV output for a battery and some mining equipment to complensate for the lack of grid export gains bacause of the limit. Probably down to mining some shitcoin to convert to BTC.
Of course, i will take other measures to primarily use my PV output myself. Mining in the sunnier seasons might be profitable.
I have to project the numbers and look into the mining gear market, all i did so far was mining some shitcoin (which i can't remember the name or $short) for an equivalent of a few dollars of gain using an Nvidia GTX card, out of curiosity.
I don't expect the grid capacity to be expanded in my area, at least not within the next few years. In the very worst case the company will just refuse to take power from my PV, so i would even be forced to go the mining route.
Sorry if i spam the WO with a few questions about (c-word) -mining in the near future
My biggest concern rn is that the mining would be interrupted on a daily basis, at times the sun doesn't shine. I know, this is more or less a battery-size problem, but i will first have to wait a whlle for restocked battery hardware, while the PV should be up and running already.
