Calculation method

Year 1: actual surplus = 2,431 kWh paid by the feed-in tariff contract at €0.1301/kWh = €316.27.
Year 2: surplus estimated at ~2,458 kWh (Linky "energy injected" register: 2,457.9 kWh) — under the €9,600/year OA cap.

Gain = self-consumption × €0.211 (peak) + surplus × €0.1301. Self-consumed energy replaces peak-hour purchases.

Self-consumption: a "daily self-consumption baseline" model (13.54 kWh/day in Y1, 12.44 kWh/day in Y2), tuned so the annual surplus matches reality exactly.
