The image illustrates three types of solar energy self-consumption :
- Collective self-consumption : A group of individual houses, with or without solar panels, located within a 100-meter radius. The energy produced is shared among these neighbouring homes.
- Collective self-consumption in a residence : An apartment building with solar panels on the roof. The energy produced is distributed among the various units within the building.
- Self-consumption across multiples sites : A map of Luxembourg shows an industrial building with solar panels supplying energy to another, more distant site ( such as a house), illustrating that energy of the same entity can be shared between several locations.
Each unit is illustrated in blue lines, the solar panels are marked in yellow, and arrows indicate the flow of electricity. Circular symbols with arrows represent the concept of energy distribution or sharing.
