RE: Reasons for photovoltaic self-consumption
This is an interesting topic @emiliomoron. Use of solar panels is becoming more common today than it was in the last five years. Compared to last 5 years, we have better solar panels and batteries than we had 5 years ago.
I read an article some time ago, and I learnt that the best solar panel can not harness up to 45% of the energy it receives from the sun. This is a big mark, we still have a long way to go, thankfully, lots of scientist and engineers have taken up that task upon themselves.
Hopefully, in the next five years, we will have better solar panels that can harness at least 70% of the solar energy it receives. Also, we will have a better inverter and energy storage that can comfortable carry our appliances just like hydroelectricity without the fear of exhaustion.
Undoubtedly friend, the components have been developed a lot, but it is true that solar panels still do not take advantage of all the energy they receive, we hope that they continue to advance and soon be more efficient and economical.
