6 FAQs about [Self consumption solar systems Portugal]

What is solar self-consumption in Portugal?

Solar self-consumption is available in Portugal to individuals and companies who want to produce their own renewable energy. By installing photovoltaic solar panels, you produce your own electricity locally, which means that it is produced in your own home or business.

How many solar panels are there in Portugal?

According to the new Portuguese legislation, companies should seek to adjust production to the real needs of electricity consumption. However, there is no set number of solar panels for photovoltaic self-consumption installation. With an UPAC will I have an energy supplier?

How are production units for self-consumption regulated in Portugal?

In Portugal the Production Units for Self-Consumption (UPAC) are regulated by Decree-Law No. 162/2019. This decree-law establishes the legal scheme applicable to self-consumption of renewable energy. Before this decree-law enters into force, only individual self-consumption was allowed.

Who can install PV self-consumption in Portugal?

Who can execute the installation for PV self-consumption in Portugal? From 350 W on, the project must be carried out by a certified company or technician. There are specific and safety, inspections rules that apply to the larger UPACs. In addition, installations with a power of more than 20,7 kW have to be inspected.

What is solar self-consumption?

By installing photovoltaic solar panels, you produce your own electricity locally, which means that it is produced in your own home or business. In other words, solar self-consumption occurs when people or companies consume the solar energy produced near the place of consumption.
