What does Self-consumption mean?

Self-consumption means using solar energy on-site instead of exporting it to the grid.

What should installers verify about Self-consumption in a solar-plus-storage design?

Energy management depends on when solar is produced, when the site uses energy, how exports are credited, and how batteries are dispatched. The best control strategy can change with utility tariff, region, season, and customer goals.

Practical design considerations

Use the term consistently across product pages, technical documents, and support content.
