Self-consumption: understanding and optimising your energy

Why self-consumption matters today

In the middle of an energy transition, self-consumption has become the obvious move: use the energy your own solar panels produce instead of sending it to the grid. It cuts your dependence on the network and your electricity bill.

A concrete example

• 37 kWh produced by the solar panels
• 29.2 kWh consumed directly
• 7.1 kWh imported from the grid to cover the rest
• 14.9 kWh exported to the grid

The figures point to what really counts: aligning production and consumption more closely to raise the self-consumption rate. That is exactly where Workswell comes in.

How Workswell improves your self-consumption

1. Tailored energy audit: we assess your needs and analyse your production and consumption data.
2. Battery storage: storage makes the energy produced during the day, often exported, available at night or during peaks.
3. Load optimisation: by running the water heater, heat pump and similar loads during solar production hours, the self-consumption rate rises significantly.
4. Real-time monitoring: with tools such as Enphase you can follow production and consumption and adapt your habits.

The key benefits

• Lower bills: consuming your own energy means buying less from the grid.
• Energy independence: less exposure to price swings.
• Environmental contribution: energy produced locally and used locally.
