Self-consumption can be envisaged, particularly for buildings with air-conditioning systems. In this way, you pay for part of the air-conditioning consumption with solar energy when you use it most during summer.

But operating completely disconnected from the grid, especially in winter, is extremely difficult. Luminosity is much weaker, the sky more overcast and the number of hours of sunlight reduced.
