In order to increase self-consumption (SC) more than half of the residential photovoltaic (PV) systems in Germany are installed with battery storage systems (BSS). The utilization of these BSSs however varies throughout the year and therefore they could be used for other services to further...

Cost reductions of rooftop photovoltaics and battery storage, increasing retail electricity prices as well as falling feed-in remuneration provide strong incentives for many German households to engage in self-consumption. These developments may also affect the electricity system as a whole....

This study presents the results of an analysis of user acceptance of PV battery storage systems. A structural equation model is developed based on Davis’ technology acceptance model (TAM). It is expanded by integrating elements of Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior (TPB). The main factors...
