This surplus energy gets sent back to the national grid \u2013 even if it exceeds your\u00a0export tariff.<\/p>\n<p>To counter this, self-consumption lets you keep all of the energy you produce, therefore reducing your reliance on the grid and the amount of wasted power you send back to it. With a self-consumption system such as our\u00a0innovative eddi device, electricity will be diverted back into your house before it goes out to the national grid.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"h4  text-left  \">The benefits of self-consumption<\/h4>\n<p>The main benefit of using a self-consumption system is that you will be almost entirely self-sufficient. You won\u2019t need to send your electricity to the grid, nor will you have to rely on it when power is no longer being produced due to nighttime or poor weather.<\/p>\n<p>An additional benefit is that this means your bills will drop too. Without taking power from the grid, you are no longer being charged for the electricity you already had but were unable to store.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"h4  text-left  \">Self-consumption is just the beginning<\/h5>\n<p>While self-consumption means you don\u2019t waste any of the green energy you are producing, it is just as important to make sure that you are using your power efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Energy efficiency is a natural step to helping improve our carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>By utilising all of our generated power, and saving it where possible, we are creating less waste and lowering the demand for extra energy production from the grid \u2013 which could be coming from damaging sources such as fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"block-fifty-fifty-img-txt-block_628384021d857\"  class=\"bg-white flexi-block fifty-fifty-img-txt-block  \">\n\t<div class=\"container relative z-10 flex flex-wrap justify-center pb-0 mx-auto pt-8 lg:pt-16 pb-8 lg:pb-16 \">\n        <div class=\"flex flex-wrap w-full justify-center lg:justify-between items-center    lg:flex-row-reverse\">\n\n            \n                <div class=\"w-full load-hidden image-wrapper lg:w-1\/2 md:max-w-[500px] lg:max-w-none  xl:pl-3.9\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/05\/0355-1-1024x1024.jpg\" class=\"w-full rounded-2.5xl\" alt=\"\" style=\"opacity: 1\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/05\/0355-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/05\/0355-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/05\/0355-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/05\/0355-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/05\/0355-1-330x330.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/05\/0355-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/05\/0355-1-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/05\/0355-1.jpg 1410w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>                <\/div>\n\n            \n            \n                <div class=\"w-full self-center lg:w-1\/2 md:max-w-[500px] lg:max-w-none lg:pr-20 2xl:pr-45 pt-12 lg:pb-0 load-hidden content-wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"w-full first-mt-0 last-mb-0 \">\n                        <h3 class=\"h3  text-left  \">What if I need to power an electric car?<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Our intelligent\u00a0zappi electric car charger\u00a0is perfect for this!
