Energy · Preliminary estimate

PV yield and self-consumption

Assess yield, self-consumption, autarky and grid import from site, PV size, orientation, shading and load profile.

ENERGY01

This calculator estimates annual PV energy, the share used directly in the building and the remaining grid import.

PV + load + storage

Complete the inputs and calculate.

Model

A simplified annual yield is matched to the household load profile. Self-consumption, autarky, grid import and export are derived from that balance.

Scope

The site formula is a transparent screening estimate. Use a site-specific PVGIS time series for detailed design.

Assumptions

Inputs, units and assumptions remain traceable in the result. Planning and approval require measured data, manufacturer documentation and a time-series simulation.
