Abstract
Recognition of the notion of “sustainable development” in 1997 Kyoto climate protocol agreement fostered the evolution of mentalities and the appearance of many eco-citizen behaviors. In this context, it is interesting to focus on a new mode of consumption termed auto-consumption. Auto-consumption is possible with all renewable energies, but here only solar energy has been considered. Present study aims at giving clues for the choice of energetic consumption management mode. This includes economical, technological and energy optimization for a photovoltaic solar installation, using self-consumption. It enables to achieve key results such as finding cities location where auto-consumption is theoretically profitable, and/or electricity price limit necessary to make it profitable.
