Solar Photovoltaic Self-Consumption

Self-consumption from solar energy sources is booming, with annual growth of between 12% and 15% expected over the next 10 years.

Solar self-consumption benefits households, businesses, industries and, ultimately, anyone who needs a source of energy to carry out an activity. This is why self-consumption is booming, as everyone wants to be in control of their own energy, and if it also provides significant savings, even better.

The expected growth for the next 10 years is between 12% and 15% annually, exceeding 20GW in installed capacity.

Here we will explain the main advantages of switching to self-consumption using solar energy, which are the main products we recommend to save on your electricity bill and why. We will also talk about the importance of having technical knowledge to set up and maintain these installations.

Advantages of solar self-consumption

Cost savings: Thanks to solar energy, we are seeing many families and businesses recouping their installation costs within three or four years. The time it takes to recoup the installation costs will always depend on several factors, such as variations in the price of electricity, whether or not our installation has batteries, the orientation of the solar panels, and the quality and efficiency of the solar panels, photovoltaic inverter, and batteries.
Sustainability: Solar energy is the most efficient renewable energy source alongside wind energy. The sun's energy is infinite, so as long as the sun rises and sets, your installation will be producing energy in an environmentally sustainable way. Therefore, by installing a solar system, you are contributing to a greener future through the use of this renewable energy.
Energy Independence: Less dependence on external suppliers, as the installation is yours and by simply taking advantage of a natural source, such as the sun, you will have your own energy, and if you store it, you will also be able to use your own energy from the batteries.
Long-Term Profitability: Related to the first advantage, the investment pays for itself in just a few years thanks to energy savings. This means that using solar energy for your own consumption saves money, allowing families and businesses to be more profitable.

Products for your photovoltaic installations

Solar panels

At Plug And Play Energy, we have the most efficient solar panels on the market. These panels provide the best return on investment, as their greater efficiency translates into more energy and greater savings.

No. 1 brand in solar panel efficiency

Solar inverters

Inverters are an essential component, as they convert the solar energy from the panels into alternating current. This device also serves to parameterise the energy generation data.

No. 1 brand in string inverters

Solar batteries

Energy storage is booming. This is because much of the solar energy being produced is not consumed immediately and is therefore lost. However, with the use of batteries, we can store that energy from solar panels to use once the sun goes down.

5-in-1 storage solution

Monitoring system

Monitoring systems are used to find out how much energy we are producing, how we are producing it and how we are consuming it. The aim of this is to be more efficient with our energy.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre autoconsumo solar

Respuestas para profesionales · Información actualizada el 13 de agosto de 2026.

¿Qué es una instalación de autoconsumo fotovoltaico?

Es una instalación que genera electricidad solar para cubrir parte del consumo del edificio o actividad. El diseño debe considerar demanda, superficie disponible, red, orientación, potencia y normativa aplicable.

¿Qué debe revisar un instalador antes de elegir los equipos?

Debe comprobar potencia y tensión, configuración de módulos y strings, protecciones, monitorización, posibles limitaciones de vertido y necesidades futuras de almacenamiento.

¿Plug & Play Energy puede ayudar con la selección?

Sí, ofrece asesoramiento y suministro a instaladores e ingenierías. La propuesta se prepara con datos reales del proyecto y las compatibilidades se validan con documentación vigente.
