What Are the Benefits of Self-Building a Solar Power Plant for a Business?
Building a solar power plant reduces electricity costs and carbon emissions while allowing surplus power to be sold for profit. It helps companies comply with regulations for high-energy consumers and publicly listed corporations, enhances ESG performance, increases asset value, and optimizes land usage, making it a long-term profitable green energy investment.
What Are the Requirements for a Self-Built Solar Power Plant?
Key factors include available roof or land space, structural integrity, sunlight exposure, energy demand, and budget. Compliance with local laws, grid connection regulations, and technical feasibility is crucial, alongside hiring a qualified contractor to ensure maximum economic benefits.
What Is the Average Cost Per kWh for Self-Generated Solar Power?
Power generation efficiency depends on location, orientation, and shading conditions. Generally, solar systems generate 1,250 kWh per kW annually, and with an installation cost of NT$50,000 per kW, the estimated electricity cost is around NT$2.3 per kWh.
Can Excess Power Be Sold Only to Taipower?
Aside from signing a 20-year full feed-in tariff contract with Taipower, companies can also sell green power to our branch (XingWang Energy) at higher-than-Taipower rates for corporate buyers seeking green electricity, ensuring maximum investment returns.
What Safety Concerns Exist for Solar Power Plants?
Solar power is one of the safest and most eco-friendly energy sources. Risks include electrical faults causing short circuits or structural damage from natural disasters. Proper system planning, certified installations, regular maintenance, and third-party liability insurance ensure investment security.
Can Ground-Mounted Solar Systems Be Built on Unused Industrial Land?
If land zoning allows for green energy installations and meets environmental regulations, businesses can implement dual-use ground-mounted solar farms, such as parking lots or storage spaces. Additional storage systems can be integrated to maximize green energy efficiency.
What Should Businesses Consider When Selecting Solar Equipment?
Choose high-efficiency and durable solar panels, grid-compatible inverters, weather-resistant support structures, and certified wiring and power distribution systems. Ensure all equipment complies with local regulations and enhances generation efficiency.
Does Daypower Energy Charge for Evaluating Self-Built Solar Projects?
Daypower Energy provides professional assessments, with on-site evaluations and preliminary proposals.
Can Businesses Obtain Bank Loans for Solar Project Funding?
Companies can secure low-interest bank loans based on credit ratings and energy contracts. Banks typically offer financing based on solar plant revenue expectations, and businesses are advised to consult multiple banks for optimal terms.
What Other Considerations Besides Applications & Construction?
Key factors include building aesthetics, power efficiency and ROI, functional space below panels, electrical and fire safety plans, future expansion opportunities, and whether the energy provider can supply additional green power to meet corporate sustainability goals.
