Customer Service• Solar Energy – The most prominent technology for energy self-consumption is solar energy, in particular, solar photovoltaic (PV), though solar thermal is also wide-spread. Solar PV generates electricity, whilst solar thermal is used to warm water, and can also be
Customer ServiceSelf-consumption can be described as the local use of PV electricity in order to reduce the buying of electricity from other producers. In practice, self-consumption ratios can vary from a few percent to a theoretical maximum of 100%, depending on the PV system size and the local load profile. Table 1. Self-consumption''s main characteristics

Customer ServiceWhen you use solar generation to power your home or business appliances, you need to buy less electricity from your electricity retailer. This is called solar self-consumption. Every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of solar generation that your household or business self-consumes means one less kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity bought. The amount you save for each kWh self-consumed

Mechanisms promoting self-consumption of PV electricity are based on the idea that PV electricity will be used first for local consumption and that all this electricity should not be injected into the grid.
It is shown that residential PV prosumers can contribute up to 5.5% of the total power generation by 2050, with a global installed capacity of around 2 TW ( Ram et al., 2017a, Breyer et al., 2018 ). Regional variation of the installed capacities as well as generation shares of residential PV prosumers is shown in Fig. 17.
