Business opportunities on solar/renewables

Savings from oil and coal importation

Rizal PHIL   |  June 6, 2013

Yesterday, we had a meeting with a businessman whose partnership included:   greenhouses, distant farms, golf courses and irrigation

We talked about the role of our group which will be financing the ownership.  He says he is more interested in the technical:  how this will be installed, maintenance, operations during brown out or at night.  Therefore, storage capability is needed as his proposed customers will be off grid. He says that  cost is not a matter of concern to those who:   do not have power and do not have access to the grid.  They use gensets and have deliveries of diesel by the truckload.

The solar installation in our Memorial Park will be a showcase and marketing tool.  Many rich residential installations are possible in that city

He will have one installed in his house in golf subdivision because his electric bill is about Pl6,000 per month.  His payback period is about a year for a 2 kwP is one year (without batteries)

For the golf courses, running the irrigation sprinkler system will be benefitted by a reduction in electricity bills

He and I hope that we will start a solar revolution in the PHL with these insights

Today, our team will visit a big church and their electric bills run into P50 million per month in just NCR alone.  I hope they will have great presentation to the church officials
