Self-consumption<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use more of what your roof produces.<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Producing solar electricity is a first step. Younergy analyses your production and usage to use a larger share of what is produced locally.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Use more of your solar energy<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Consume a larger share of the electricity produced directly at your home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    <\/svg>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Reduce your electricity purchases<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Less energy bought from the grid when your production covers your needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Gain energy autonomy<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Batteries, heat pumps, charging stations or smart control allow you to exploit more of your local production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

    How your car recharges<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Charging that follows your energy, hour by hour.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Depending on your solar production and consumption, the charging station continuously adjusts the power sent to your vehicle throughout the day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Your consumption matters as much as your production<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Two similar installations, two different results.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    For the same production, the self-consumption rate depends mainly on when and how your household consumes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n\n\n\n
