Solution

Self-Consumption Optimisation

Store daytime solar generation and use it when site demand is higher than PV output.

The challenge

Use more of what you generate

The economics of commercial solar now favour using your own generation over exporting it.

  • Feed-in tariffs are low, so exported solar earns far less than the grid price you avoid by self-consuming.
  • Daytime generation often exceeds daytime demand, creating surplus that is wasted without storage.
  • Operations want a measurable cut in grid purchases, not just nameplate capacity.

How it works

How self-consumption optimisation works

Shift surplus daytime solar to the hours when your site actually needs it.

  1. 01

    Generate

    PV covers daytime loads directly — the cheapest possible kilowatt-hour.

  2. 02

    Store surplus

    Excess generation charges the battery instead of being exported.

  3. 03

    Discharge on demand

    Stored energy covers early-morning and evening demand, with 100% unbalanced output across phases.

  4. 04

    Monitor

    The HEMS reports self-consumption and self-sufficiency in real time.

Outcomes

System specifications

Up to 80% self-consumption rate
< 10 ms EPS / backup switching
100% unbalanced phase output

Product specifications are indicative for the Hithium 261 kWh C&I storage class. Project outcomes such as payback, self-consumption and demand-charge reduction depend on your site load profile, tariff and system sizing, and are confirmed in the project quote.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What self-consumption rate is realistic?

With correctly sized storage, commercial sites commonly reach 70–80% self-consumption. The exact figure depends on your load curve and PV-to-battery ratio.

Can I see the savings?

Yes. The HEMS reports self-consumption, self-sufficiency and grid draw so you can verify performance.

Does this work for shift operations?

Yes. Battery dispatch can be tuned to single, double or continuous-shift demand patterns.
