Definitions
Photovoltaic (PV) self-consumption installation refers to the system composed by solar PV panels, inverter, and the balance of the system to produce renewable electricity for the use in the place that is generated or, in other words, that is generated and consumed by the same owner. According to the different types of consumption and selling, there are different schemes as described by (IEA et al. 2019) which depend on countries regulation. In this definition, it is not mentioned the type of legislation because it will be out of the scope of this encyclopedia; instead it will be centered on the technical and sustainable development goals perspective as well as challenges and strategies toward its implementation. There are two main types of installations: first, off-grid which refers to systems that are isolated or stand-alone, and, second, grid-connected which means that there is a grid infrastructure in place and the system is connected to...
