Solar power plants
"Green" energy in Ukraine has been gaining momentum in recent years. Alternative sources of electricity can help businesses reduce their energy costs. For any enterprise, electricity is a significant part of operating costs. Even a small office center buys electricity every day for air conditioners and computers, and for enterprises with powerful production equipment, these costs are enormous.
Due to the increase in tariffs, it is increasingly difficult to control the expenditure on electricity. In order for electricity costs to stop reducing business margins, you can install a CHP and provide your own needs. During daylight hours, the enterprise operates on electricity from the SPP, and when there is no or insufficient sunlight, it draws energy from the grid.
Today, business investment in SES can pay off in 5-6 years, and the station will last for at least 25 years. The higher the tariff at which the company buys electricity, the faster the station will pay for itself and will allow generating energy practically for free.
According to the Rules of the retail electricity market, the maximum power of the system is not limited to legal entities.
For industrial solar power plants, it is necessary to obtain the appropriate license from the electricity producer.
With the successful installation of the SES, it is already possible to connect the "green" tariff and earn money by selling the generated electricity to the centralized network.
Specialists of the Tolk Group of Companies will help to understand the peculiarities of electricity production in the conditions of the retail market, to design, install and connect the SES in the shortest possible time and in compliance with all legal requirements.
Advantages and disadvantages of SES
The main disadvantage of a solar power plant for business is low performance in winter, with shading and weak lighting. The large installation area and some vulnerability of the station to significant mechanical damage, the need for legal support during the installation of the SES, etc. can also be attributed to a minor disadvantage.
That is why it is extremely important that the installation of the SES is carried out by qualified specialists who, during design, can calculate the correct inclination of the station to capture the maximum amount of solar radiation, and recommend where it is best to install it to avoid damage. Such calculations are carried out in each individual case by specialists of the Tolk group of companies.
Advantages of SES for business:
- quick payback;
- increase in business profitability;
- reduction of electricity costs;
- long service life;
- no need for special maintenance;
- safety for the environment.
Another important aspect: with the increase in energy tariffs, which has recently been observed all over the world, the payback of an installed SPP becomes faster, and the profitability of your product will increase.
For which business is the installation of solar power plants profitable?
Business owners should think about installing solar power plants if they consume a significant amount of electricity during daylight hours and can use the area of the roofs of premises and facilities to install solar panels. In particular, it is beneficial if you have:
- Gas stations, service stations, car washes;
- storage facilities;
- production enterprises;
- hotel complexes
- entertainment and shopping complexes, etc.
Features of installation of an industrial power plant
The process of installing an industrial solar power plant is long-term and requires qualified support at all stages, in particular, it involves:
- the creation of a legal entity;
- search and lease of a plot of land with the purpose of "energy land";
- obtaining a license for electricity production;
- non-standard connection to electrical networks;
- registration of membership in the Wholesale Electricity Market;
- construction of the SES itself;
- concluding a sales contract with the energy company, etc.
To find out all these nuances, to calculate what capacity is needed, we recommend contacting the specialists of the Tolk Group of Companies, who will professionally select the necessary equipment, help you draw up a sample application and a one-line diagram, and prepare the entire package of documents together with you. It is he who should be submitted to the operator of the distribution system at the place of residence (former Oblenergo), who will install a special meter for accounting for the electricity produced from the energy of solar radiation.
Also, at the place of registration of the SES, it is necessary to submit a corresponding application to the electricity supplier, who will make payments according to the "green" tariff. In order not to get confused in all the requirements of the relevant legislation, and to complete everything properly, it is better to contact the specialists of the Tolk Group of Companies, who are well aware of the entire sequence of registration of SES.
