6 Frequently Asked Questions about “A self-regulating solar photovoltaic panel”

Can solar energy storage systems improve self-consumption and self-sufficiency?

As energy storage systems are typically not installed with residential solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, any “excess” solar energy exceeding the house load remains unharvested or is exported to the grid. This paper introduces an approach towards a system design for improved PV self-consumption and self-sufficiency.

What is photovoltaic self-consumption?

Photovoltaic self-consumption occurs when individuals or companies consume the energy produced by photovoltaic generation installations located close to the place in which that energy is consumed.

Are solar panels causing a rise in photovoltaic self-consumption?

The increase in the use of solar panels in recent years is linked to an increase in photovoltaic self-consumption.

What is self-consumption of PV electricity?

Self-consumption of PV electricity presupposes that the cost of producing PV electricity is cheaper (at the time of investment or during the lifetime of the PV system) than the price that the consumer pays for his electricity. Without having reached this threshold, self-consumption will require additional financial incentives as we will see below.

Why do solar panels have low self-consumption ratios?

Oppositely, the larger the system with regard to the local consumption, the lower the level of self-consumption ratio. These relatively low levels can be explained by the low consumption during week days in the summer and high consumption in the winter at times when PV produces less electricity.

Is self-consumption allowed in a PV system?

No, but system costs are linked to PV penetration. Self-consumption is allowed for all PV system sizes. For systems below 200 kW (and even 500 kW for plants installed starting from 2015), Italy has switched in 2009 from a net-metering mechanism to the so-called “Scambio Sul Posto (SSP)”.
