What is a Self-Consumption Kit with Battery?
A Self-Consumption Kit with Battery includes panels, hybrid inverter, and storage to shift consumption to nighttime, reduce peaks, and, depending on configuration, provide backup.
Advantages and limitations
- Greater self-consumption and annual savings by storing surplus.
- Possible back-up of critical circuits (depending on model and wiring).
- Limitation: higher initial investment and need for correct battery sizing.
Applications
- Homes with significant nighttime consumption or time-of-use tariffs.
- Small businesses seeking to stabilize peaks.
How to choose
- Define daily energy and desired depth of discharge.
- Adjust inverter power to simultaneous peaks.
- Integrate appropriate protections for AC and DC.
Typical specifications
| Inverter type | Hybrid on-grid |
| Storage | Lithium (LV 48V or HV) |
| Back-up | Optional depending on model |
| Management | App/portal with monitoring |
| Use | Residential and light commercial |
