There are currently two effective methods to increase self-consumption:
1. Use the solar power as efficiently as possible by intelligently controlling and/or switching on the loads while taking the current weather forecast into consideration. However, this only works when there is solar irradiation. In this case, the Sunny Home Manager is a very powerful addition to your existing PV system and can effectively increase the quantity of power you use at home.
2. To increase self-consumption, the surplus electric current you produce during the day can also be temporarily stored in batteries. This electric current can then be used during the evening hours and thus considerably reduces the amount of electricity you purchase. Inverters that meet these requirements are already offered by SMA. They are available for different powers and have, for example, the type designation SB 3600SE and SB 5000SE.
