Get a quoteEnergy usage dictates how many solar panels you''ll need, and it can even determine if it''s worth it to go solar at all. The more energy you use, the bigger the solar system you''ll need to cover your consumption. Most home solar systems use between 15 and 19 solar panels, but the exact number needed is unique for each home.

Get a quoteIn Germany, building owners and energy consultants are confronted with missing household type specific information about the self-consumption of electricity generated from PV systems. The same applies to self-sufficiency, i.e. the share of a household''s annual electricity consumption that can be covered by the power generated from a PV system.

Get a quoteThe present study shows that residential households with in-house solar PV electricity generation can achieve the same levels of self-consumption and self-sufficiency with an EV as they can with a stationary battery.
The acquisition of an EV by a household that has solar PV electricity generation can have effects on the levels of self-consumption and self-sufficiency of that household.
Self-consumption of the generated electricity is economically advantageous for households that have solar PV, since other costs (e.g., electricity taxes and grid fees) that are added to the end-user price for electricity can be avoided [ 6 ].
Difference in levels of electricity self-sufficiency depending on the correlation between the amount of solar PV electricity generation and the number of hours when the EV is plugged in at home. On the x -axis is the total annual electricity generation per installed kW of PV panels (kWp) during hours when the vehicle is plugged in at home.
The input data regarding the households’ electricity consumption levels used in the present study are taken from the measured hourly load profiles of 2221 single-family houses in Sweden. The data cover both terraced houses and detached houses, and the annual electricity demand per household is in the range of 1.76–45.78 MWh per year.
Distinctive household types can be identified using information about employment status, education and the presence of children. From the viewpoint of profitability, it was found that generally, households with high yearly electricity consumption benefit more from a PV self-consumption system.
