"Determine self-consumption" project page


On the Determine self-consumption project page, you can determine your possible self-consumption with and without increased self-consumption.

Settings in the area Increased self-consumption:

In this section, you can select devices to better assess self-consumption.

  • To change the selection of devices, click on [Devices filter] and enable the required checkboxes.

  • With multicluster systems, click on [Add cluster] to add additional clusters. With multicluster systems, all batteries are automatically configured identically.

  • For increased self-consumption with the Sunny Home Manager, enable the checkbox Energy management.

  • To configure increased self-consumption with systems for intermediate storage of energy, enable the Intermediate storage of excess PV energy checkbox.

  • In the column Device, select the required device.

  • Click on Settings in the row of the required device and configure the storage.

  • If Energy management and Intermediate storage of excess PV energy have been selected, click on Battery charging time window in the Settings area.

Settings in the area Specific loads:

In this section, you can select devices to better assess self-consumption. The consumption of these devices is taken into account in the calculation with and without optimization in the section Result.

  • To configure self-consumption with specific loads, enable the checkbox Specific loads. The checkbox is already enabled if you have selected a heat pump as a load on the page Define load profile. If required, you can adjust the settings here.

  • Click on Settings in the line of the required device and adjust the properties.

  • To configure self-consumption with an electric vehicle, enable the checkbox Take e-mobility into account. The checkbox is already enabled if you have selected an electric vehicle as a load on the page Define load profile. If required, you can adjust the settings here.

  • Click on the field Settings and adjust the driving profile.

Result area:

In this section, the increased self-consumption details are displayed graphically.

Settings in the area Load analysis:

Information: This section is only shown if you are logged in as a Sunny Design Pro user.
