Tuesday, May 06, 2025, 11:30 am - 01:00 pm

ICM München Room 14 B

With electricity tariffs normalizing after the energy crisis, the rush to buy rooftop solar systems at any cost has ended. However, thanks to falling product costs, residential and C&I rooftop PV remain the largest segment of new PV installations in the EU. The rise of plug-in/balcony solar systems further highlights the growing interest in building-attached solar solutions.This shift presents new challenges: Prosumers are integrating various electrification technologies to maximize self-consumption and reduce their power bills, while energy systems and regulations struggle to accommodate the surge in variable power generators. This session will provide: Insights into the latest home energy management technologies for optimizing solar self-consumption Technical solutions to transform self-consumption systems into grid-supporting assets Discussion on regulatory requirements for sustained distributed solar growth
