They can cover a part of a household’s consumption and thus reduce electricity bills, especially if the self-generated electricity is self-consumed close to real time. </p><p>Such systems can help make solar energy more accessible, enabling people to become self-consumers even if they do not own a roof or are unable to install solar PV on their roofs. </p><p>Because of their capital needs, they are also more accessible to vulnerable customers due to their low price, especially in Member States that promote their deployment through specific support schemes.”</p><p><a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/Europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Europe</span></a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/Solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Solar</span></a> <a href="https://freiburg.social/tags/PV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PV</span></a></p>
