(10) The PV Parity project has found that self-consumption extended by storage and demand response can reduce the additional system costs of the EU integration of solar PV at high penetration levels by around 20%. (11) Seebach, 2009, Costs and benefits of smart appliances in Europe.
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.
Many research institutes have made forecasts about future trends of solar energy utilization , , , and predictions suggest that more than 70% of the total newly increased capacity of non-fossil energy would be contributed by renewables exemplified by solar PV and wind power during the 14th Five-Year-Plan.
With demand-side response and decentralized energy storage (see section 3), the self-consumption rate of an average Central European household running a PV system can go up to 65-75%. In absence of such flexibility measures, however, residential consumers are more likely to obtain self-consumption rates in the range of 30% (see Box 2).
The first one is electricity bill savings since part of the electricity produced by solar panels is used for self-consumption, and the other is the extra gains by selling remaining electricity to the grid (all the generation is assumed for self-use if the generation potential is smaller than annual household electricity demand).
Type 2: Above 100 kW without limitation, self-consumption is allowed and the excess PV electricity can be sold on the wholesale market directly or through an intermediary. A specific grid tax of 0.5 EUR/MWh has to be paid together with a 7% tax on the electricity produced.
