What is solar self-consumption? Benefits & how it works

Answers to Several Frequently Asked Questions About Photovoltaic SystemsWhat Does Solar Self-Consumption Mean?Why Is Self-Consumption Important? How Does It Help You?Do We Need to Go Off Grid in Order to Switch on Solar Power?What Is The Solar Self-Consumption Ratio?Do We Need to Switch Off The PV System overnight?How Do We Consume Solar Power?The self-consumption ratio is the ratio between the PV production and the portion of the PV production consumed by the loads. This ratio can be a value between 0% and 100%, with 100% solar self-consumption meaning that all produced PV energy is consumed by the loads. A self-consumption ratio less than 100% means that some PV production is not local...See more on blog.se PVWatts Calculator
