Solar plant and Megapack in Paris

1 MWp of panels in Paris with a Megapack charged from them: what it does not store is sold at the quarter-hour's price.

1 MWp at 48.86° N, 2.35° E, optimal inclination, 14 % of losses (PVGIS); one Megapack 2 XL (3.85 MWh, 1.93 MW, round-trip efficiency 91.7 %), charged from the panels only.

Indicative figures only

They come from simplified models: past prices, an asset as its datasheet describes it, and a battery that knows the next day's prices when it plans a day. Before any fee, tax, grid tariff or wear of the battery. They are neither a forecast, an offer nor investment advice.

How it is computed
  • Prices: the day-ahead auction of the French bidding zone, published by ENTSO-E, hourly until 30 September 2025 and by the quarter-hour since. The figures run to yesterday and are updated every morning.
  • Battery: dispatched exactly on each day knowing the next, from an empty battery on 1 January 2017, the energy left at midnight carried to the next day, and a cycle only when it clears 5 € per MWh discharged.
  • Solar: 1 MWp of panels at the best inclination, 14 % of losses, hour by hour from PVGIS (European Commission), each quarter-hour's output sold at its price.
  • PVGIS has no weather year after 2023: from 2024 on, the output is the site's average year over 2005–2023. Over 2017–2023, the average year's revenue here was -6.6% to +3.5% relative to the real year's.
  • The past only: what the market may do next takes a price model, which an account shows on these same assets.
