Solar self-consumption in Sint Marteen (SXM) is an ideal solution for individuals and professionals who want to generate their own electricity using solar panels. This simple and cost-effective approach allows you to use the energy generated by your photovoltaic system directly, without being entirely dependent on the EDF grid.

​

How does solar self-consumption work?
​
Photovoltaic solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. This energy is used primarily to power electrical appliances in your home: lighting, refrigerator, air conditioning, water heater, etc.

When production exceeds your consumption, the surplus electricity can be sold back to EDF OA or stored in a battery for later use.

​

Self-consumption therefore reduces your electricity bills while avoiding power cuts that can occur on the public grid. During the day, your solar panels provide a continuous and reliable power supply, even in the event of a voltage drop or EDF power failure.
