Optimizing the profitability of your system

The profitability of a solar installation depends primarily on your self-consumption rate. By using the energy you produce at the exact moment it is generated, you significantly reduce your reliance on the public grid.

It is advisable to schedule energy-intensive appliances like washing machines or dishwashers during peak sunlight hours. This self-consumption strategy helps your initial investment pay for itself much faster.
