Energy self-sufficient living – solar power system for self-sufficiency

06/02/2024 / Liencres, Spain

Self-sufficient and secure: Carlos from Liencres (Spain) has opted for a sustainable energy supply with solar power. By combining our Fronius GEN24 Plus hybrid inverter with battery storage from BYD, he brings 24 hours of sun into his home. Thanks to the experienced support provided by Fronius System Partner Inekya, the energy system was successfully implemented with some help from our digital tools. Now Carlos´s family is achieving a 79% self-consumption rate with their PV system.

When making the environmentally conscious decision in favor of solar power, drawing as little electricity from the public grid as possible is the declared goal of many private individuals and companies that rely on photovoltaics. Especially at times when energy costs are rising sharply in many places, the aspects of cost efficiency and security play a major role in the decision to install your own PV system. These factors also motivated Carlos from the Spanish coastal town of Liencres to make a personal energy transition. Now, thanks to his own PV system with an output of 6 kWp, he and his family produce and consume green electricity themselves.

Fronius GEN24 Plus with backup power – 24 hours of sun in the home

The efficient combination of our Fronius Primo GEN24 6.0 Plus hybrid inverter and the BYD Battery-Box Premium HVM 11.0 enables the family to optimally use and store the generated solar energy. This means that electricity from his own roof is reliably available not only during the day but also at night and reliable backup power is available if it’s needed. This is ensured by the Fronius GEN24 Plus hybrid inverter with its integrated basic backup power supply PV Point. As long as there is enough energy in the battery or the sun is shining, the connected devices in the household are reliably supplied with backup power by means of a socket.

Perfectly coordinated

When combined, the Fronius GEN24 Plus and the BYD Battery-Box Premium enable high charging and discharge power. This means the generated solar energy as well as the storage capacity can be used optimally. This ensures increased self-consumption as well as greater independence from the public power grid. “For us, investing in this PV system was definitely the right decision. In the long term, it is the most cost-effective energy option for us,” Carlos says confidently. “It’s also extremely reassuring that our home will still have power if there’s a grid power outage.” With his PV solution, Carlos achieves a self-consumption rate of 79%.
