Solar self-consumption: how to manage your energy more intelligently?

A solar self-consumption installation can allow you to reduce your bills by 30 to 40%¹. Have you switched to solar self-consumption and want to take full advantage of your installation? Find Out How MySmartBattery Can help you maximize your savings and optimize your photovoltaic panels.

Why switch to solar self-consumption?

Going Solar is an excellent initiative, but what is even more beneficial is to optimize your consumption for Use the energy produced directly. The cheapest kWh is the one you consume instantly, without going through the network!

By increasing the self-consumption portion of your solar production, you can reduce the cost per kWh and increase your savings. Result? A significant reduction in your energy bills and real autonomy!

MySmartBattery: the mylight150 virtual battery: an innovative solution

The Virtual Battery: How Does It Work?

The mylight150 virtual battery offers a storage capacity ranging from 10 to 10,000 kWh.

The principle is simple: 1 kWh stored equals 1 kWh saved.

With a subscription tailored to your needs, of around €26 per kWh, the package quickly pays for itself. This flexibility allows you to adapt your storage capacity and allows you to increase your self-consumption rate.

The benefits of MySmartBattery

En Storing the Energy Produced in Summer for Use in Winter, you can cover a significant portion of your energy needs, even during periods of low production. This ensures optimal use of the solar energy produced.

The virtual battery is particularly useful for homes heated by electricity, with heating accounting for almost 62% of their energy expenditure.

By increasing the self-consumption rate, you will reduce the cost per kWh and make interesting savings.

Optimize your energy consumption

Simplified management of electrical devices

mylight150 offers solutions to use your electrical devices more intelligently and make them work with solar power. For example, heating water with your electric water heater costs you an average of €400 per year for 100 L. By taking advantage of solar energy during the day, you will significantly reduce this expense.

Likewise, the automatic management of your pumps, pools or hot tubs during the day allows you to save money without impacting your comfort.

Charging your electric car, requiring 41 kWh per charge, can also be optimized using solar energy.

Finally, connected sockets allow you to program the switching on and off of your home appliances to reduce their consumption.

The Reduction of Consumption Peaks

The virtual battery helps you to smooth your energy consumption by covering your needs during the day and reducing the peak consumption in the evening.

By preheating your home in the afternoon, for example, and lowering the temperature at night, you can take advantage of your home's thermal inertia for additional savings.
