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
- Tailored energy audit: we assess your needs and analyse your production and consumption data.
- Battery storage: storage makes the energy produced during the day — often exported — available at night or during peaks.
- Load optimisation: by running the water heater, heat pump and similar loads during solar production hours, the self-consumption rate rises significantly.
- 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.
