As energy prices go up every month, bills become more expensive. However, there is a solution to use the sun’s energy and install a photovoltaic renewable energy solution EcoPlanet Energy.

The owners of a commercial building understood this and knew the empty space in the roof of their building could be used to reduce their energy and maintenance costs as well as increase the value of their property. The resulting solar system installed was the first in the tourist district of Barra, Salvador, the capital of the Braazilian state of Bahia.

“The dream of energy self-sufficiency is increasingly feasible now that investment in equipment for renewable microgeneration (photovoltaic panels, inverters, batteries, …) can be paid in a few years, making any person or company energy independent !” Highlights the director of EcoPlanet Energy.

The photovoltaic solar energy microgeneration system was installed to meet some of the demand consumed by the company. The system consists of 7 solar panels with a nominal rated power  generation of 1.5 kW/h  and deep cycle batteries for energy storage for times when there is no sun. The monthly power generation of this system is approximately 200 kWh per month.

According to the owner: “As the office has a small installed load requirement and the eletro-devices are with highly efficient rating, the system is being used with minimum energy need from the eletric utility company. Even with an air conditioner turned on during the hottest hours of the day, is exactly when we have intense sunlight and the system power generation is maximum to cover the consumption, which is just fine for us here.

The owner still adds: “In 2014 our actions are focused on the environment and those consumers focused on choosing to have a sustainable business.”
