Technological advances are now making it possible to generate locally and in controlled amounts. Within the sector, solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is particularly well suited for this purpose, as panels installed on rooftops can directly supply households, businesses, farms and factories. The power generated from these individual units can then be sold or self-consumed. However, the cost-effectiveness of self-consumption systems, which are expensive at the outset, is still far from guaranteed, particularly for individual consumers.
