Why is it important?

The purpose of this research is to verify if prosumer´s investment is financially more interesting than purchasing all electricity needed for consumption from the LV grid.

Perspectives

The results of the performed economic analysis show that self-consumption with storage is a potential solution. In future, is expected, with the prices reduction of batteries, that most of the residential PV systems will be equipped with storage. On a net-metering context, self-consumption with storage promises to be a very feasible solution, with high potential, on an economic outlook.
