"Solar self-consumption" is a term you're hearing more and more often. But what does it actually mean? Is it a good fit for Gabonese families? Here's the answer.

What is self-consumption?

Self-consumption is when you generate your own electricity and use it yourself. You become your own power plant.

How to Use This Information in a Real-World Project

For a residential self-consumption project, the data to be gathered includes: daily usage profile, utility bill, permanently installed appliances, roof, grid connection, and power needs during an outage. This information forms the basis for a meaningful comparison. Without this information, two systems with similar power ratings may be suited to very different uses.

Moving from Information to Decision-Making

The right approach is to decide whether the priority is reducing consumption or restoring selected circuits. Ask for clarification on the assumptions used in the calculations: loads considered, operating hours, peak power, estimated generation, usable storage capacity, protective devices, and the circuits involved. Prices and timelines can only be compared when the scope is identical.

Pre-Hire Screenings

Check the equipment specifications, technical documents, installation requirements, maintenance instructions, and written warranties. For news or market data, also keep a record of the original source and its date. A battery may be useful depending on the purpose, but it is not automatically necessary. A site-specific study is still required before placing any order.
