Most existing studies on the cost competitiveness of self-consumption PV systems fail to jointly consider key technical, economic, and user-specific factors—such as the share of PV electricity self

However, the economic cost of the photovoltaic self-consumption system must also be considered. In this sense, there are many research studies which intend to size PV self-consumption

Applications for sizing Photovoltaic (PV) self-consumption systems have been studied over recent years in order to achieve either an optimization of the cost of energy, the investment cost or

However, the cost of self-produced PV electricity is nowadays lower than the retail price of electricity in some countries, which makes self-consumption profitable without subsidies [5].

For nearly ten years, residential photovoltaic (PV) system installation has increased dramatically, driven by national initiatives like Feed-in Tariffs and Net Metering. With the focus on maximizing system

As a consequence, installing a PV system and feeding the overall produced energy into the grid is no longer economically viable. Therefore, this can be regarded as the introduction of a new era in the
