FAQ
Solar self-consumption involves producing and consuming your own energy from photovoltaic panels. It reduces your reliance on the grid and lowers your electricity bills.
The installation of solar panels for self-consumption is profitable, with a return on investment typically under 10 years due to the savings generated and available incentives.
For solar self-consumption, you need photovoltaic panels, an inverter, and optionally a battery to store energy that is not used immediately.
On average, you can cover between 20% and up to 80% of your electricity needs with a photovoltaic system, adding a solar battery, depending on the system size and your consumption habits.
Businesses generally benefit from a quick return on investment due to significant savings, as their operations are mostly during the day when solar production is at its peak.
Optimize your self-consumption by adjusting your consumption schedule to match solar production hours and integrating equipment such as batteries or smart energy management systems.
You can store the energy not immediately consumed to use it outside of production hours, thus increasing your energy independence.
Businesses can sell the surplus energy produced to an operator such as EDF OA, thereby generating additional revenue and increasing the profitability of their installation.
