Assessment of the economic effectiveness of the use of energy storage in a photovoltaic installation operating under the Prosument program

This paper presents an assessment of the advisability of using energy storage in a 5 kWp photovoltaic system that operates under the Prosument program, according to the regulations in force since 2022. The analysis was performed based on actual data obtained during the threeyear operation of the photovoltaic system. Based on the collected data, the amount of energy produced by the photovoltaic system, the amount of surplus that was sent to the grid and the amount of energy consumed were determined. These data allowed for optimal selection of the capacity of the battery set, estimation of the amount of energy that can be stored, investment costs and the value of annual benefits associated with the use of the system. The economic efficiency for the proposed energy storage system was then evaluated.
