SOLAR FOR BUSINESS OR SOLAR FOR HOME USE?

Is there a difference between solar for business and solar for homes?

There are residential solar projects, which are for homes. There are also commercial solar projects, which are for businesses. By comparison, both types of solar projects differ in terms of costs, size or scale, and renewable energy goals. Residential solar is typically installed by homeowners who are looking to reduce their monthly electricity expenses and generate significant money savings. On the other hand, commercial solar requires a major business decision and investment with a primary focus on the long-term financial and environmental impact.

 

How much does residential solar typically cost in the Philippines?

There is no simple, uniform answer to this question because there really is no such thing as an average typical solar panel system. Solar systems are customized for every home or household. The size of the solar system will depend on a variety of factors such as roof size, power consumption, electricity expenses, sun exposure, roof type, and even budget. However, there is data that shows that the most commonly purchased solar panel system size in the Philippines is the 5kWp Grid Tie Solar. Let us examine this type of solar solution.

 

Let’s go 5kWp

If the homeowner were to choose the cheapest type of solar panels available in today’s market, then he would select the basic option, which would be the 270-watt (270W) polycrystalline solar panels. The homeowner would then opt for 20 pieces of the 270W solar modules, which would be equivalent to a solar system size of 5.4 kWp (kilowatt peak).

 

Savings and Return On Investment

The average statistic per solar panel is an average monthly savings of Php400. With that in mind, 20 panels, or a 5kWp system, would give you savings of about Php8,000 each month. Now let’s break it down in terms of numbers and ROI. The system cost of a 5.4kWp is about Php380,000. If monthly savings is Php8,000, then ROI will be achieved in four years.

“It’s 2020 and we are now on the brink of a renewable decade. Solar tech is affordable and financially feasible. The demand is high. Everyone is getting on board. It is not just about being a “wise investment” choice – it’s also about being a “combat climate change” choice. This decade isn’t about just savings and ROI anymore. It’s about carbon footprint and the environmental impact and climate change. In essence, solar isn’t about us and efficiency anymore. It’s about our planet’s future,” said Jade De Guzman, the Vice President of Solaric, the recognized leader in the solar rooftop in the Philippines.

TURNING ON THE SUN FOR PTT

What happens when you add Solaric and gasoline?

 

The world has to go into energy transition as it is the new economic fact and survival. Climate change is already our new reality and mankind has to take steps to mitigate climate change and global warming. When oil companies start putting in large amounts of Solar and even question outdated regulation that limits the amount of renewable energy, it is clearly telling of our times now – what the future brings and the challenges that we face to adapt to the new world.

The oil and gas industry has one of the most stringent safety and workflow standards in any workplace. They also employ the smartest engineers who know energy output, per kWh costs, project safety, and a number of quantifiable and qualitative goals that have to be achieved for seamless project implementation.

 

Solaric and PTT

We thank PTT for choosing us to undertake their pioneer project in combining #Solar to their gas stations to improve their carbon footprint and lower costs of operations. This powers their Barista training school and skills center in EDSA. Gas pumps and espresso machines are surprisingly power-hungry appliances.

PTT deployed a 15.6kWp solution that can yield about 20MWh of energy a year or roughly P220k in savings by sourcing a large amount of power from the sun, versus predominantly grid-bought coal energy. Simple fact: A single solar panel has the power potential to knock off P400 a month from your electric bill.

In the very near future, gas stations will slowly be adapting to Electric Vehicle charging stations. PTT decided to embrace the future and start the process of transformation to a greener economy and energy solution space.

IS YOUR BUSINESS PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE?

IS YOUR BUSINESS PREPARED FOR THE FUTURE?

Commercial and Industrial Are Now Fast Shifting to Renewable Energy

“Our solar initiatives should already go beyond barriers. It’s time. There should be strong willpower from every single Filipino to go green whenever they can, wherever they can,” says Jade De Guzman, Vice President of Solaric Corp.

 

Do fossil fuels power your business?

The industry buzz is about a possible shortage of power in the near future. Now is the time for businesses in the Philippines to use solar panels. In the Luzon grid, reports claim that “reserve energy” has reportedly dropped to “below minimum levels due to the unexpected shutdown and limited generation of some power plants.” This has led to high demand for electricity. The facts are clear: peak demand for power is nearing peak capacity. Numerous malls, buildings, hospitals, educational institutions, factories, warehouses, and industrial facilities are fast adopting the global trend and installing megawatts (MW) of rooftop solar. Many commercial and industrial projects are now underway, as firms begin to align themselves to target power production capacities from rooftop solar in the coming years.

 

And then there’s El Niño

Since the turn of 2019, state weather bureau PAGASA warned the nation that Filipinos would experience less rainfall due to El Niño, but few heeded the warning. Now, provinces are declaring a state of calamity due to drought. The question is: are Filipinos ready for the effects and damages that will result? The long dry season will negatively impact the country – especially where Metro Manila is – because peak demand for power will hit in the peak of summer, which is May. On the other hand, hydroelectric power plants in Luzon are reducing capacity by 30% from April to June. A quick run on the figures shows that Luzon will have to import at least 350 MW of power from other grids or sources or power plants to supply the needs and address the power outages. This is exactly why the commercial and industrial sector has been turning to solar power for power supply. Sunlight is a free source of energy and solar power is renewable and sustainable. Self-generation of power is what 2019 is all about.

 

Solar for businesses this 2019

Commercial solar panels are feasible for businesses of all sizes: small to medium to Fortune 500. Solar is not just for Apple, Microsoft, or Netflix. Every business should capitalize on solar. Every business should take advantage of financial opportunities and invest in solar. A solar power system is a key strategic decision that offers a solid financial return for the business. There are three reasons why businesses should go solar: the business becomes a green company, the business incurs monthly savings, the business invests in a guaranteed ROI.

 

Let’s talk about them

The entire planet is adversely affected by climate change, which is why various countries are embracing renewable energy, especially solar. Almost 100% of Iceland’s energy comes from renewable sources. Sweden has boldly declared its goal of eliminating fossil fuels. Germany runs on 20% renewable energy. Costa Rica has a target of being absolutely carbon neutral by the year 2021. The Philippines has a longer dry season. Thus, we have more sunshine. What is our goal in the Philippines?

Installing a solar panel system for the business in the Philippines is a wise, significant, one-time investment that provides energy savings for 25 years. In essence, it means free power in the long term.
