SusTec researchers Tillmann, David and Bastien recently published a Downloadpaper in Renewable Energy. In their techno-economic study called "Profitability in absence of subsidies: A techno-economic analysis of rooftop photovoltaic self-consumption in residential and commercial buildings", they analyze the economic potential of PV self-consumption for different residential and commercial buildings. They find that, with self-consumption, PV can be profitable for many buildings in central Europe already today. Tillmann, David and Bastien then discuss, which factors are most important for profitability and which diffusion barriers policy makers and investors need to tackle.
