A solar power plant that generates electricity on an industrial scale for its own consumption is a profitable investment that will significantly reduce the cost of purchasing electricity
A solar power plant for industrial facilities that operates on its own consumption is one of the most actively developing segments of alternative energy by the end of 2023. Enterprises are looking for an opportunity to reduce electricity costs, and investing in the development of their own generation is one of the most effective tools.
Solar power plant for an industrial facility: price and payback prospects
The most popular type of solar power plants for industrial use are network solar power plants, which can generate electricity only if there is an external power grid. They cannot ensure complete energy independence of the enterprise, but at the same time they can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing electricity from external suppliers.
Building a solar power plant in Zhitomir with a capacity of 50 kW at the current dollar exchange rate will cost 1.1 million hryvnia. The installation period, depending on the complexity of the project (primarily depends on the installation location of the panels - ground-based or rooftop solar power plant) can be up to one month. What the owner ultimately gets:
- In the summer, during the period of greatest intensity of solar radiation, SES will help save over 35 thousand hryvnia (in May - more than 38,000 UAH, in June and July - about 40 thousand , in August - approximately 36 thousand).
- In winter, when the duration of daylight hours is much shorter, savings in December will be about 8,500 hryvnia, in January - approximately 11 thousand, and already in February - 16 thousand UAH.
- A 50 kW solar power plant will allow its owner to save up to 26 thousand hryvnia on electricity bills monthly, this amount will be over 300 thousand per year.
- The payback period of a solar power plant is 3.2 - 3.5 year.
- The projected profit for the entire service life (modern solar panels can effectively generate electricity for at least 30 years) will reach about 10.5 million hryvnia.
It should be It should be noted that the solar power plant operates almost autonomously; all processes are monitored by special software that monitors all processes. If an emergency situation occurs - a decrease in generation volumes, failure of individual elements, etc. — the operator is notified to make the necessary decision. During operation, the solar power plant requires minimal maintenance. Solar panels for business open up excellent opportunities for investing in the development of your own business, allowing you to fix the cost of electricity for 30 years and not depend on fluctuations in market tariffs.
