they're saying you might not use the extra energy if your PV runs year round. If you continuously had a year round surplus, you wouldn't have a need to buy any energy, so the credits would be monopoly money.

But unless you're off-grid you can always use extra PV energy by selling it to the grid.
The grid doesn't give you money in these locations.

They give you credits for future consumption. You can only spend this on energy. If you always have a surplus, you will just rack up large amounts of credits.

What locations? In the UK they give you actual money. You can withdraw it.
