Comparative study of photovoltaic self-consumption alternatives considering the Spanish legal framework

Abstract

This work presents a comparative study focusing on the alternatives that a small photovoltaic self-generating group of consumers face within the new legal framework in Spain. Several alternatives are presented, simulated and discussed for a representative photovoltaic generating plant serving a group of consumers that could be associated. Conclusions are duly drawn, showing which options are most favourable for the consumers. Also, a brief description of the most important features of the new legislation is presented.
