Truly Smart Solar Prosumers: Managing Energy Bills & Supporting the Grid
With electricity tariffs normalizing after the energy crisis, the rush to buy rooftop solar systems at any cost has ended. However, thanks to falling product costs, residential and C&I rooftop PV remain the largest segment of new PV installations in the EU. The rise of plug-in/balcony solar systems further highlights the growing interest in building-attached solar solutions.This shift presents new challenges: Prosumers are integrating various electrification technologies to maximize self-consumption and reduce their power bills, while energy systems and regulations struggle to accommodate the surge in variable power generators.
This session will provide:
- Insights into the latest home energy management technologies for optimizing solar self-consumption
- Technical solutions to transform self-consumption systems into grid-supporting assets
- Discussion on regulatory requirements for sustained distributed solar growth
