Inferred, not measured. Utility-scale solar farms do report, so we know their capacity factor right now — 60.2%, meaning 2,045 MW produced from 3,395 MW installed. The same sun falls on the whole country, so we apply that factor to the prosumers' installed capacity.

The farms' reference capacity is 3,395 MW — the highest output measured in the past year. The official figure, 2,788 MW at the end of 2025, has fallen behind: it is published once a year, and more farms have been built since. The margin is tens of percent: a roof does not have a solar farm's tilt, and shading and snow are not in the calculation.

Households or companies

Nine in ten prosumers are people with panels on a house. Installed capacity, though, splits almost down the middle: company installations are several times larger.

How many

Individuals: 324535 MW Companies: 34843 MW 359,378 prosumers

90% of prosumers are private individuals.

How much they installed

Individuals: 2067 MW Companies: 1952 MW 4,019 MW installed

Companies are a tenth of the count but 49% of the installed capacity.

Sold month by month

Energy taken from prosumers, from the monthly market monitoring reports.

The spring climb is both season and new installations: the same panels produce several times more in May than in January.

Paid against the market

The solid line is what prosumers were paid, weighted by volume. The dashed line is the average day-ahead market price in the same month.

In January 2026 the gap was wide: prosumers were paid 28% below the market. From February the two lines run almost together.

Who buys

Rooftop energy reaches three kinds of buyer, and their prices differ sharply. In May 2026:

Suppliers with retail customers 565 207.1 GWh Generators 464 106.1 GWh Suppliers of last resort 474 0.2 GWh
Buyer Energy (GWh) Share Average price (lei/MWh) Low–high
Suppliers with retail customers The supplier a household holds its contract with. Most of the energy ends up here. 207.1 66.1% 565 158–890
Generators Power plants buying energy to cover obligations of their own. 106.1 33.9% 464 424–822
Suppliers of last resort The regime you land in without a contract. Very small volumes. 0.2 0.1% 474 474–474

What else helps

When electricity is cheapest

The window when grid energy costs least — the moment to run the heavy loads rather than export.

Open

Solar and wind on the system

When the system fills with solar, the price falls — sometimes below zero. Today's mix explains tomorrow's price.

The monthly regulator reports

Every table the figures above are drawn from, each carrying its page in the original report.

Open
Why there is no live output here. A household's panels sit behind the meter, so they never enter the system's operational data — they read as lower consumption, not as extra generation. A number ticking over by the minute would be a weather model times installed capacity: an estimate that looks exactly like a measurement. We have the capacity; we do not have the model.
Where the figures come from

Prosumer counts and installed capacity by county: ANRE prosumer status report, table 6, with figures as of 30 June 2026. The regulator publishes it monthly.

Energy sold and prices: the transaction characteristics tables in ANRE — the electricity market's monthly reports — the “prosumers” row in each buyer category's table. Most recent edition: May 2026.

County outlines come from Natural Earth, public domain, matched to the figures on county code rather than name.

Prices are in lei per MWh, as the regulator publishes them. The rest of the site works in euro per megawatt-hour; converting would need an exchange rate as a source, so the figure stays in the currency it was reported in.
