FAQs
A photovoltaic self-consumption system enables you to produce your own electricity by using solar panels in the same place where you are going to consume it. The main advantages are savings and sustainability, by producing clean energy.
There are three categories of self-consumption:
- Self-consumption supply without surpluses: The energy you do not use is not injected into the electricity grid. This category usually involves the installation of a system of physical batteries for the storage and subsequent own use of these surpluses.
- Self-consumption supply with surpluses: The energy you do not use is injected into the electricity grid by means of an inverter or it is stored by means of a virtual battery tariff. If you use this option, these surpluses will be applied as a means of payment in the total to be paid on your next electricity bills.
- Shared self-consumption: This self-consumption model is used in blocks of flats, industrial estates or energy communities where photovoltaic panels are installed and which generate electricity that can be used by a number of connected consumers.
To register for a self-consumption tariff you will need a number of documents prior to the installation of your photovoltaic solar panels:
- Building permit.
- Environmental authorisation.
- Electricity self-consumption code.
Endesa is committed to helping and advising you throughout the process. This is why we have launched a programme to help and advise those users who are interested in investing in a self-consumption installation using solar panels. We take care of all the procedures and the documentation required.
Self-consumption surpluses are the energy you produce but do not use.
If you have opted for the self-consumption without surpluses category, this energy is lost or stored for your own consumption.
But if you have opted for the self-consumption with surpluses category, the energy that you have not used is injected into the transport and distribution network by means of an inverter or by contracting a tariff with virtual battery, so that other consumers can take advantage of it. In exchange for these surpluses, you will receive remuneration in your electricity bill.
