Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Given the plummeting price of solar panels, solar is highly cost-competitive to diesel generators.
Businesses that rely on the national grid and diesel generators face rising power costs. Rising diesel prices, increases in grid tariffs, and high operations and maintenance costs for generators, and make the status quo increasingly untenable.
However, a hybrid power solution in which solar provides a large percentage of your energy consumption allows your business to regain control of its energy supply.
Our solution provides your business with the following benefits:
- Reduction of your power cost.
- Provides a reliable and more predictable power source.
- Protects the environment by reducing your carbon footprint.
- Requires low maintenance of power assets.
We provide a range of bespoke solutions to clients depending on their energy needs. Some of them include:
- Power-as-a-Service – A full hybrid solution that consists of best-fit renewable power sources, efficient cooling systems, cutting-edge battery storage, a robust energy management system and entire operations & maintenance (O&M) services. We provide a guaranteed level of service with up to 99.9% uptime on critical circuits and all equipment is installed at no upfront capital costs.
- Solar-as-a-Service – A strictly solar PV solution provides significant cost savings. This option is also at no upfront capital costs. Clients pay a monthly fee, which decreases with a longer contract duration. This service comes with an optional energy storage system based on the client’s needs.
Our O&M services monitor performance and detect possible issues early on, ensuring the system runs efficiently throughout its lifetime.
O&M services also include:
- On-site support and maintenance of solar panels, including fault fixing and routine cleaning.
- Generator maintenance.
- Air conditioning maintenance.
- Continuous performance monitoring: alarm triggers indicate necessary remedial work.
- Access to our in-house engineering team for quick fixes and in-depth troubleshooting.
- 24/7 customer service support.
We provide maintenance services after business hours to avoid disrupting your business operations.
Using the latest technology, we ensure you receive the best equipment tailored to your power needs.
We deploy the following assets:
- Solar panels.
- Generators.
- Inverters.
- Battery storage.
- Energy-efficient cooling and lighting.
Yes, we can use your existing equipment, such as generators, batteries, inverters and air conditioners, provided they are not older than two years and are certified as being in good running order by the respective OEM.
The minimum duration is five years. There is no maximum duration. Our clients pick a contract duration that best meets their requirements.
We design and recommend best-fit solution(s) for your site. Our deployment process has the following steps:
- Energy audit.
- Solution design.
- Deployment.
- Operation and maintenance.
Yes. With our energy management system, we conduct a power audit and recommend energy-efficient equipment such as air conditioners, pumps, and lighting.
It is sometimes possible to go completely solar. Whether this is possible is the amount of roof space or ground area to mount the required panels. In cases with enough space, you can run entirely on solar.
Yes, our power solutions are 100% scalable.
Our projects are designed to accommodate our client’s rising energy demand in function with its growing business. If your site’s load requirement increases due to a rising number of AC units or equipment, we upgrade the power system to match the increased load.
Please note that we will adjust the service fee accordingly.
We provide you with deferred capital benefits with no initial capital outlay. We also handle the replacement of power assets during the contract duration.
Our cost is based on capacity. Every project is unique and expertly designed to suit your needs. Site costs depend on your facility’s size, load requirement and operating hours. We are happy to provide a free preliminary assessment and indicative cost upon receipt of your request.
Under our Power as a Service model, the battery storage will power the night load. For high-power-consuming sites, we provide standby generators to power your night load.
Yes, we do. Our model is consumption-based.
Yes. This option is available.
You can dispose of it using an asset disposal company or relocate it to another site.
We can achieve up to 35% cost savings for locations where we can significantly reduce energy consumption. Adequate roof space is also a key factor in driving down costs.
We install power systems with capacity of up to 5MW.
Our timeline for deployment is 2 to 6 weeks from conclusion of the contract. The timeline depends on the solution size, regulatory permits, health & safety requirements, and type of business.
We can provide stanchions or ground mount structures for the panels to maximise solar contribution.
We do. We take over the complete management of the roof.
Solar panels generate electricity most efficiently during the sunny part of the day and less when it is raining and cloudy. The latest solar panels can harvest a considerable amount of PV in the daylight.
