How to carry out a self-consumption photovoltaic installation in a community of neighbours?
These types of facilities in which several people benefit from shared savings from energy production for self-consumption are called collective self-consumption.
This model is being transferred more and more to urban centres through the concept of energy community, whose main objective is for a group to benefit from energy generation facilities, measures to improve efficiency, or the development of forms of sustainable mobility.
Energy community
Surely, if you are thinking about this type of self-consumption energy projects in a community of neighbours, you have ever wondered how to do it.
To do this, it is important to follow the following steps:
Understand the advantages and operation of this type of facility, in addition to knowing the energy needs of the building and of each of the neighbours.
Identify the most suitable renewable energy integration areas for the community of neighbours and for the building, considering its energy demand and its aesthetics or design.
Know how the savings in electricity consumption would be distributed among the neighbours and the way to communicate it with the retailer, as well as the regulatory limitations or the most appropriate self-consumption modality for the building.
Establish a work schedule according to the needs of the neighbourhood community.
