UPAC self-consumption framework: surplus power net-billed at 90% of the MIBEL market price
Portugal uses INSTANTANEOUS net metering only — no monthly or annual rollover of credits. Self-consumption savings only count when generation and usage overlap in real time; unused surplus is sold immediately at the low net-billing rate — this makes battery storage close to essential for maximizing savings
IRS income tax exemption up to €1,000/year on surplus sales, plus 50% IMI (property tax) discount available
Reduced 6% VAT expired July 2025 — residential solar now carries standard 23% VAT
