This is particularly worthwhile for you if the aim is to maximise your own consumption. The initial investment is amortised through the savings in electricity costs, which significantly increases the cost-effectiveness of solar systems. The higher the energy prices, the faster the amortisation. An example calculation for a large photovoltaic system quickly makes the advantages clear: a high self-consumption rate and short amortisation times make the investment attractive.
Laundry example
As a medium-sized laundry, there is a high energy requirement during daily operations.
This maximises self-consumption, as the energy generated by the PV power plant can be used directly. The laundry therefore benefits considerably from the energy it produces itself and reduces its dependence on expensive grid energy. These savings reduce the amortisation period of the system to just a few years, which makes the investment particularly worthwhile.

Your own consumption
Self-consumption refers to the use of self-generated energy directly at the place where it is produced. This reduces dependence on external energy suppliers and lowers costs.
Why should you aim for self-consumption?
-
Cost savings
By using self-produced energy, you can protect yourself against rising electricity prices and save money in the long term.
-
Independence
You reduce your dependence on external electricity suppliers and improve your security of supply.
-
Grid relief
By drawing less from the public grid, you contribute to the stability of the electricity grid.
-
Promoting the energy transition
They actively support the transition to renewable energies and contribute to climate protection.
Your load profile
With the right system and the use of an intelligent energy management system, consumption can be optimally controlled during peak production times.
In order to get the best out of it for you, we analyse your individual situation using the so-called load profile. The load profile is a visualisation of the energy consumption of a household or company over a certain period of time. It shows when and how much electricity is consumed and helps to recognise patterns in energy consumption. By analysing energy consumption in this way, we can identify peak consumption times and appliances, enabling us to tailor energy generation and storage to your actual needs. The load profile is therefore a crucial tool for optimising energy management and increasing the efficiency of your future solar power plant.
