Photovoltaic self-consumption calculator
The photovoltaic self-consumption calculator provides information for a planned photovoltaic system on how and to what extent the self-consumption share of the on-site produced PV electricity can be increased. It can be used to evaluate the case of a photovoltaic system without participation in a renewable energy community. The tool can also help to calculate the increase of the self-consumption share of a system with a maximum of 10 kWp or of a household with a maximum of 10,000 kWh of annual electricity consumption through electric load management, storage, and electric water heating. The use of a heat pump and an electric car are only described qualitatively in the tool and are not included in the calculation.
| Applicability: | Collective actions in general |
| Type of tool: | Calculation tool |
| Regional applicability: | In German for Vienna (Austria) and surroundings (the results can also be used for a rough estimation for other regions) |
| Complexity: | Applicable without special prior knowledge; a simple online tool |
| Project phase: | The tool can be used for the planning phase, as well as for the expansion phase (new customers) |
| Necessary data for use: | Location of the installation, size and electricity consumption of the household, inclination, orientation, and power of the planned photovoltaic installation |
The tool is available free of charge and can be used without prior registration.
