Self-consumption
Self-consumption of electricity consists of consuming the electricity that one produces oneself, generally using photovoltaic installations (solar panels) or wind turbines.
Advantages of self-consumption of electricity:
- Reduction of the electricity bill: By consuming your own energy production, you reduce your dependence on the electricity grid and therefore your bills.
- Contribution to the energy transition: By producing your own renewable energy, you participate in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the fight against climate change.
- Energy autonomy: Self-consumption provides protection against fluctuations in electricity prices and power cuts.
- Asset valuation: Installing a self-consumption system can increase the value of your property.
Solutions for self-consumption of electricity:
- Photovoltaic installation: The most common solution is to install solar panels on your roof or on the ground.
- Wind Turbine Installation: For sites with sufficient wind, domestic wind turbines can be installed.
- Micro-cogeneration: This technology makes it possible to produce electricity and heat from a single fuel.
- Energy storage: Batteries can be installed to store the energy produced and consume it later, especially at night or in cases of low production.
Self-consumption of electricity is a promising solution for reducing your electricity bill, contributing to the energy transition and gaining autonomy.
Before you start, it is important to carefully assess your energy production and consumption potential, as well as the different technical and financial solutions available.
