Role of Solar Energy as Covid-19 Causes a Reboot

by

The world is grappling with the novel coronavirus christened Covid-19. There is enough that each one of us is reading about Covid-19. This article will focus only on the Role of Solar Energy keeping in mind the changes which are likely to be permanent due to this pandemic.

Why do we say that the world will see a reboot due to Covid-19 ?

There have been several virus problems in the past but none brought about the kind of rapid transmission and changes as this one. Lets count some of the evident changes:

  1. The world appears far more united at this time than it ever was. Relations across nations are going through a transformation. True friends are recognized at such critical moments.
  2. Leadership across the world is being tested and watched very closely.
  3. Medical science is going through a revolution with decisions being taken which have never happened earlier.
  4. Lockdown around the world has taken the focus away from environmental pollution which has been the biggest news item otherwise, for a very long time.
  5. Work from home is going to be a new normal.
  6. Social distancing is here to stay and will redefine behavioural traits across the world.
  7. Businesses will see survivors and new leaders.

Solar Energy in Relation to Covid-19

Putting the above context in perspective, the importance of solar energy will be better understood:

  • Solar Energy is cost effective

Economic tremors are being felt already. When normalcy returns in whichever form the real impact will be felt. Energy is one of the big components in the cost of any household or business. Even more important to look at reducing these costs and solar engery is the best alternative available.

Western Australia has already announced a relief package to Western Australians struggling to pay their energy bills.

(Data Source: https://www.pv-magazine-australia.com/2020/04/02/wa-government-announces-energy-bill-relief/)

It has already been debated enough that any kind of subsidy can at best be a temporary measure. The cost has to be borne one way or another. It is similar to putting money in one pocket calling it a relief measure while eventually taking it out from another pocket.

A long term and more permanent measure is to find a cheaper energy source. Solar Energy fits the requirement perfectly.

  • Solar Energy was already growing rapidly pre Covid-19

(Data Source: https://www.pv-magazine-australia.com/2020/04/03/rooftop-solar-surges-to-record-highs-before-lockdown/)

The technology, vendors, installers, system and the interest of consumers towards solar energy installations was already well established before Covid-19 struck. Rather than looking for something different, solar installations as a solution is readily available and easy to implement.

The Government should be looking at further incentivizing solar installations which are a permanent and clean energy solution for the future.

  • Solar installations are low contact

Social distancing is the most effective weapon against the spread of a virus infection. Solar installations are already designed to practice social distancing as it is low contact. The installation team does not need to enter the office or household and can be done directly on the roof or any other identified location on the premises. Further, any communication can easily be done from a distance. A video can be used to show the work happening and if any input or guidance is needed it can be given online.

  • Solar installations create jobs for the local economy

Safe work environment maintaining the norms of social distancing is required. Solar installations again are a perfect example where livelihood can be provided.

  • Building upon the positive effect on pollution

In all the mayhem and disruption, there has been a silver lining. Pollution levels across the world have dropped significantly. A problem which was much larger has temporarily taken a back seat. As lockdowns open up and all the economic activities start, the problem will resurface. This is the best time to tackle the pollution problem when it has come in control of some kind. This is the best time to strategically shift towards solar energy which is a clean pollution free source.

  • Creating required independence

On grid and off grid solutions are possible with solar installations. Strategically, installations can be isolated easily when required. What the future has in store for the world is unknown? Covid-19 has tested the world on its preparedness to face the unknown. Being able to isolate an energy source is a critical aspect towards this preparedness for the future. Solar energy can play both the roles, support the grid from collapse in any emergency as well as isolate a unit effectively whenever required.

Solar Industry Needs Attention and Support

The solar industry is already lobbying with the Government to recognize the importance of the industry and to include it in the Covid-19 stimulus packages and essentials.

(Data Source: ecogeneration.com.au)

It is the customers though, whose interest will not only get more attention from the Government but also help sustain the industry.

Each of us is planning for the future. Resource constraints will be even more evident. Using the resources to make correct choices and decisions is even more important now. The opportunity exists triggered forcefully by Covid-19 and its fallout.

The solar industry in itself is comparatively new and there is a possibility that it may collapse if it does not get sustainable business support. It would be very unfortunate if something like this should happen. Not only will a lot of jobs be lost, but a golden opportunity to bring about a positive change in the society and the world would have been missed.

We have already understood the context of Covid-19 and the various benefits that the solar energy installations provide. The time to take the positive step is now.

Live Examples of Success

(Data Source: https://www.pv-magazine-australia.com/2020/04/02/jemalong-solar-farm-starts-construction-largely-unaffected-by-covid-19/)

The 50 MW jermalong solar farm, one  of the largest solar projects is situated near Forbes in New South Wales. It is worth noting that the project is largely unaffected by the Covid-19 outbreak and has moved into the construction phase.

Return on Investment for 20kW Solar System

by

This article explains in detail the RoI for 20KW commercial solar panel. This will cover 20KW commercial power system cost including 20KW commercial solar panel price, 20KW commercial solar power system installation and 20KW commercial solar panel repair. Specific advantages of 20kW commercial solar panel in Perth WA will also be covered.

Most of the Australian continent receives more than 4 kWh of potential solar power per square meter per day.  When combined with the dry climate, it is an ideal location to install solar power systems

Perth WA has strong sunlight for a major part of the year. Electricity prices are on the rise which has prompted the Government to encourage solar energy installations through subsidies and incentives. Each day is a loss of opportunity. Let us go through all the factors and understand the Return on Investment for the 20kW commercial power system. Besides, for any surplus power you generate, Western Australia has a renewable energy buyback scheme.

Power Generation and Area Required by a 20kW Commercial Solar System

On average, a 20kW Solar System generates 80 to 90 kWh or kilowatt-hours per day. In normal terms, this is the unit of electricity which implies a 20kW solar system provides 80-90 units per day.

(Data Source:

https://www.mountalexander.vic.gov.au/files/Environment/What_is_a_Typical_Energy_Consumption_Presentation.pdf.)

Referring to this article, it shows four type of households in Australia with different appliances and consumption patterns. If we put aside household type 1 which probably is a low percentage, the others average as follows – household type 2 about 22 unitsperday, household type 3 about 14 units per day and household type4about 7 units per day. One can assess from this that an average household in Australia consumes 16-20 units per day. Hence, a small business that would have about 4 to 6 times the daily consumption is recommended a 20kW Commercial Solar System. As a business entity, one can use these parameters to ascertain their requirement. It should also be considered that such a solar system would efficiently work for around 30 years, on normal recommended maintenance.

A 20kW Solar System will require a 100 to 136 square meters area for installation. The type of panel used, angle of tilt for the sun, shade at the site, etc. can be some factors that contribute to the variation.

20KW Commercial Power System Cost

Both off-grid and on-grid systems get incentives and subsidies. On-grid systems primarily need solar panels and inverters. The mounting, racks, wiring is part of the installation which is designed based on the area available. Off-grid systems additionally require batteries for storage of energy as they are completely independent systems.

The cost of the system can be calculated as follows

1. One time installation cost:

  • 20kW commercial solar panel: the number of panels required multiplied by the price
  • Inverter
  • Racks, mounts, wiring, etc.
  • Off-grid equipment, if required
  • Labor cost for installation

2. Finance cost:

  • If financing is done from internal resources there is an opportunity cost of this capital
  • If financing options are being taken, then depending upon the option chosen the cost can be calculated

3. Maintenance cost:

  • Renewable Energy Standards lays down guidelines for maintenance. It is recommended to follow the guidelines. A well-maintained system will be more effective and last longer. It improves the Return on Investment and is money well spent.

4. Warranties:

  • Check out the warranties of the components and the obligations of the installer. Buying from a certified installer would make you eligible to get the warranties.
  • Further, there are exclusions based on weather, non-compliant installation practices, non-compliant repairs, moving the installation without the knowledge of the installer, mishandling, and breakages in transport. To overcome this, one can opt for insurance or work out a methodology when finalizing the contract with the installer.

5. Repairs:

  • Higher quality components, certified installations and maintenance practices help in getting proper customer support when required and servicing of warranties. This reduces repair costs substantially.
  • On the other hand, if a conscious decision to save some costs initially is taken, then one must be prepared to spend more on repairs and replacement to keep the system effective and long-lasting.

6. Subsidies and Incentives:

  • You should be aware of the subsidies and incentives that the Government is providing in your area.
  • Being aware is the first step to matching the information that your installer would give you.
  • These subsidies and incentives will be factored into the final cost that you would pay for the installation.

20KW Commercial Power System Savings

There are two scenarios here that one needs to understand

1. Consumption is more than the solar units generated:

  • In this case, energy from the grid is also being utilized to cover the gap.
  • The cost per unit generated by your solar system is equal to the total units generated divided by the total cost.
  • The difference in the cost per unit of the electricity purchased from the grid versus the solar cost per unit would be your saving.
  • The number of units required to equate this saving to the cost of the system will provide you the payback period or return on investment.

2. Consumption is less than the solar units generated:

  • In this case, surplus solar units are being generated that will generate some money through renewable energy buyback scheme.
  • You save on the difference between the electricity purchase unit and the solar unit generated for the solar units that you consume. You also generate some money for the surplus solar units you provide to the grid to participate in the renewable energy buyback scheme
  • Accordingly, the payback period or return on investment can be calculated.

Reference has been taken from (Data Source:www.ecogeneration.com.au) in parts to get a better understanding and build up the content of this article.

Conclusion

To summarize, the most important is the installation cost. You must get an authorized contractor for this. Based on warranties of each item you are procuring, your decision should consider the life of usage, the cost of maintenance and repairs. Cheaper items may have higher maintenance and repair costs proving to end up being costlier.

Another factor in your decision is the cost of financing which involves how much you can afford as a downpayment and which other options of financing are on offer.

Consider the incentives and subsidies which are likely to be discounted in the installation cost.

Finally look at the renewable energy buyback scheme and check where you stand.
