No Investment, Solar-as-a-Service from Suryanesia

Indonesia's solar panels are a hot topic of conversation in many circles. The technology used is able to reduce various negative impacts on the environment and by extension, improve air quality for human health.

According to the Director of Maritime Industry, Transportation Equipment and Defense Equipment, Ministry of Industry, in Indonesia, there are three sectors that contribute the most greenhouse gas emissions, negatively impacting the environment. The first is the electricity sector, the second is the transportation sector, and the third is the industrial sector.

Therefore, it is important for industries and business players to reduce carbon emission, through the use of clean solar energy, in order to help the Government of Indonesia in achieving the Net Zero Emission target.

Getting to know Indonesia’s Solar Panel 

Solar panels convert sunlight or solar energy into electrical energy that is useful for commercial and industrial purposes.

The main components in the installation of solar panels consist of the solar panels, inverters, controllers and batteries.  By installing an on-grid system without the use of batteries, solar panels will produce electricity integrated with the conventional power grid systems without needing intermediary batteries, solar panels will produce electricity that is integrated with conventional power grid systems without intermediary batteries. This system has cheaper installation costs, operational efficiency, and simpler maintenance.

The importance of solar panel for your business

In Indonesia, businesses switching from conventional electricity to solar energy  remain low up to early 2024. The lack of solar panel users in the commercial and industrial sectors could be due to a lack of understanding on how solar panels work, as well as  the benefits of solar panels for their businesses.

Here are the main benefits you can experience when switching to solar panels.

• With solar panels, you can save on the cost of electricity paid each month as your dependence on the more expensive public grid will be reduced and replaced by energy from solar panels.
• Responding to global environmental issues, environmental issues that are currently attracting the world's attention require the right steps to overcome them. With more and more greenhouse gases trapped on earth, the use of solar panels that will reduce greenhouse gas production will certainly have a positive impact on the environment.
• Solar panels can be used for up to 25-30 years if they are kept in good condition. Therefore, the long-term investment you make will be very profitable, especially since there are no investment costs, and you only need to pay the monthly service cost or maintenance fee.

Barriers to Solar panel utilisation in Indonesia

In addition to the lack of understanding of how to utilise solar panels in Indonesia, there are various barriers that made the use of solar panels less popular in Indonesia. Among them:

1. Solar panel investment is still relatively expensive for many businesses.
2. There is no regulatory support and clarity from regulators for the company's emission reduction targets, making the Government's solar energy utilisation roadmap difficult to achieve.
3. The lack of knowledge in the operation of solar panels makes businesses rethink using them.

The above barriers greatly affect the development of solar panels in Indonesia. Therefore, initiative is needed from various sectors, especially commercial and industrial sector players, to expand the implementation of solar energy utilisation, one of which is by using Suryanesia's Solar-as-a-Service solution.

What is Solar-as-a-Service 

Solar-as-a-Service is a service that Suryanesia provides to commercial and industrial players, so that they can reduce their dependency on fossil energy power sources to the more environmentally friendly solar panels.

In general, the initial cost of installing solar panels is not cheap, ranging from Rp14 million to Rp23.7 million per kWp (kiloWatt peak). The increase in cost per kWp can be caused by various factors, including structural factors such as the industrial building occupied by the solar panels, electricity capacity requirements, and the technology used.

Through Solar-as-a-Service, Suryanesia will assist in the installation, operation, and maintenance of solar panel systems installed on the rooftop of your building. The client do not need to make an initial investment and only need to pay monthly rental bills.

The following are some of the main benefits of Solar-as-a-Service for various commercial and industrial activities:

• Operational cost savings without upfront investment

This service does not require the client to pay for the installation, you would only pay a monthly service fee. In the long run, you will enjoy savings on your monthly electricity bill and keep the solar panel system at the end of the contract term.

• Go green and increase income

The use of solar panels would undoubtedly have a positive impact on the environment. The ability of solar panels to produce electricity that is more environmentally friendly would increase Indonesia’s propensity for sustainable industrial practices. That way, we can jointly realise the concept of going green in various sectors of life.

In addition, solar panels will be able to attract many customers and investors because this technology is able to implement more sustainable business operation practices. Did you know that products marketed as sustainable products can grow 5.6 times faster than conventional products? With that product, customer loyalty will increase as your profits increase.
