Don’t Settle for an Ordinary Home Battery…
A standard home battery can help households reduce their energy bills by increasing self-consumption. But is that enough to maximize your return on investment?
What Is Self-Consumption?
On average, solar panel owners only use about one-third of the energy they produce at the time of production. The rest is injected into the grid to be drawn back later, such as in the evening, at night, or during winter. This limited usage corresponds to a self-consumption rate of 33%.
How Can You Increase Self-Consumption?
Simple strategies can help you consume solar energy when it’s produced. For instance, you could:
- Schedule your water heater to run in the early afternoon.
- Run your dishwasher at the same time.
While these practices can slightly improve your self-consumption, installing a well-sized solar storage battery can significantly boost it. A battery can raise your self-consumption rate from 30% to 60% by storing excess solar energy during the day and supplying your home at night.
Why Increase Self-Consumption?
- For households with reversing meters (solar installations before January 1, 2025), increasing self-consumption from 30% to 60% can reduce the Prosumer Tariff by about 50%.
- For those with smart meters, increasing self-consumption can lower energy bills by up to 80%.
But Ordinary Batteries Have Their Limits…
While standard home batteries help optimize self-consumption, they are only fully effective on sunny days. In Belgium’s climate, this means the battery operates at full capacity just 40% of the time, limiting its overall impact.
Choose an Intelligent Home Battery Instead!
