What is it about?
We developed a cost-optimal and rule-based control for buildings with PV, employing a heat pump, thermal and electrical storage and shiftable loads as flexibility sources to increase the value of PV for the prosumer.

Why is it important?
Key idea was to match solar PV and load profiles against costs. Best control strategy reduced costs by 25%. These results would be highly relevant for PV use in buildings.
Perspectives
Assuming that PV will become a mainstream option in energy, finding better strategies to control solar output against load variations will be highly important. Here we show how to approach these issues.
