Definition of degree of self-sufficiency
The degree of self-sufficiency referred to by SMA is the degree of independence from an electric utility company. This is calculated on the basis of the solar power consumed with respect to total power consumption.
The degree of self-sufficiency is an indicator for the degree of independence from the external energy generator. In the event that energy prices increase in the future, this will be less noticeable with a higher degree of self-sufficiency.
