When using a photovoltaic system to produce electricity for homes , situations often arise where the system produces more energy than you can consume at a given moment .
Instead of letting these excess amounts of electricity go unused, there are ways to use them effectively, and we bring you these solutions:
In the event that the immediate production of a photovoltaic system exceeds the current consumption, there are several options for configuring the system for this condition :
⚡ 1. Limit production - electricity will not be produced, the panels will remain unused.
⚡ 2. Redirect production to the grid - electricity will be delivered to the distribution grid free of charge or after agreement with a buyer for a fee (virtual battery).
⚡ 3. Turn on additional appliances that we want to power exclusively from the sun - the most optimal solution, since consumption takes place in your home at a given time and therefore you are not charged distribution fees as with a virtual battery.
How does it work?: This solution allows you to direct the excess production of your home power plant into electric heating of domestic hot water. If you heat your water with a classic storage boiler, you just need to add a water heating inverter that communicates with your power plant's inverter.
How does it work?: Once the photovoltaic system covers all the energy requirements of your household and there is excess energy, it is immediately used to drive the heat pump to heat the pool water. This makes efficient use of any excess energy stored without wasting it, while keeping the water in your pool pleasantly warm at all times.
How does it work?: Once the photovoltaic system covers all the energy requirements of your home and there is excess energy, it is immediately used to operate the air conditioning. In this way, any excess energy is used efficiently and without unnecessary waste, ensuring that your home is always at a comfortable temperature.
How does it work?: When the photovoltaic system has met all the energy needs of the household and there is excess energy left, it is immediately used to charge your electric car via the charging station. This way, any excess energy stored is used efficiently and at the same time ensures that your car is always ready to go.
How does it work?: A vehicle with Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) or Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) technology is equipped with a system that allows energy to flow back from the vehicle's battery to the grid. This system allows the charged vehicle to connect to the home's power grid and supply the stored energy to it when needed, such as during times of high demand or during a power outage.
How it works: When using photovoltaic systems, households often produce more energy than they use. You can sell this excess energy to the grid, increasing energy efficiency and offsetting your energy consumption from the grid in the winter when photovoltaics are unable to cover your consumption.
