Summary/Abstract: The regulatory changes of recent years have reshaped the conditions for the payback of residential solar investments in Hungary. This study aims to determine the extent to which the net billing system introduced in 2024 prolongs the payback period of household photovoltaic systems, and to present potential adaptation strategies to maintain the economic feasibility of these investments (eg, shifting consumption to peak solar production periods, installing home energy storage, or implementing smart control solutions). The research builds on the analysis of secondary data and a review of relevant literature, and includes a comparative scenario analysis under net metering versus net billing conditions (examining scenarios both with and without battery storage).
