Environmental protection is your best investment: solar power, sustainable resources and capital.
Environmental protection is your best investment: solar power, sustainable resources and capital
With the deepening of the energy crisis and the climate change brought about by the greenhouse effect, many people have begun to pay attention to environmental protection issues, in which how to generate enough electricity to meet the daily needs of human beings without consuming a large amount of the earth’s resources is especially in the limelight. Solar energy is one of the renewable energy sources. Using solar power to generate electricity can effectively reduce the speed of the worsening greenhouse effect and at the same time satisfy people’s demand for electricity, so it can be said that we can kill two birds with one stone.
Many people do not know much about solar power, what exactly is solar power? Is it possible to install solar power as long as there is sunshine? The following is the answer to your question:
What is solar power?
Solar power, as the name suggests, is the conversion of sunlight into electricity by using solar energy as the raw material for power generation. As solar energy will not run out and the average daily sunshine is 3.9 hours per year according to the Hong Kong Observatory, there is a certain degree of guarantee for the long-term supply of solar energy, and as it is one of the renewable energy sources, its use will not damage the earth’s ecosystem.
What are the advantages of solar power?
1. Make good use of unused space for long-term income
Installing solar panels on your vacant rooftop location will generate regular income. Both CLP Power and Hongkong Electric will buy the electricity you produce at HK$3-5 per kWh, which is much higher than the current rate of HK$1-1.5 per kWh. After deducting the investment cost of solar power generation, the electricity sold can bring you a return of nearly 20% per annum. It is a guaranteed long-term investment, and after about 3-5 years, you can steadily earn high electricity tariffs, and the subsidy will even cover your electricity expenses.
Households in Pingtung County, Taiwan, who have installed solar panels on their homes are able to earn NT$15,000 (about HK$3,700) per month, which not only subsidises the electricity consumed by their homes, but also provides an additional income for their families.
2. Reduces indoor temperature and prolongs roof life
The heat energy from direct sunlight will be directly absorbed by the roof, causing the indoor temperature to rise. Coupled with the serious greenhouse effect, the temperature is hitting record highs year after year, which causes considerable disturbance to the people inside the building, and the roof will fall into disrepair or be damaged by sun and rain in the absence of reinforcement. After installing solar panels, apart from providing a layer of protection for the uncovered roof, the panels can absorb the heat energy from direct sunlight, blocking the direct sunlight from the roof, and lowering the indoor temperature by about 3-5°C. The installation of solar panels is also a great help to reduce the temperature of the roof, as it is the only way to protect the roof.
After the installation of solar panels in Pingtung County, the indoor cooling effect has been remarkable, and the roof has become a new open space where pets can be kept and friends and family can be invited to gather, killing two birds with one stone.
3. Fulfilment of social responsibility and instilment of environmental education
The earth’s resources are not inexhaustible. The worsening greenhouse effect has led to the melting of the Arctic icebergs and the displacement of many animals. Therefore, environmental protection is an urgent issue, and both businesses and individuals should have the responsibility to protect the environment and minimise unnecessary energy wastage. Installation of solar panels can help alleviate the problem of energy constraints, as well as instil environmental protection knowledge in young people and students, and arouse their concern for environmental protection.
Where can install solar power system?
A. Roof/rooftop
Whether it is a private building, a village house, a school, a villa or a commercial building, “Self-supporting Rooftop Photovoltaic Power Station” can be installed. It is quick and easy to install, and there is no need to drill holes in the floor and damage the building, and it can be placed directly on the floor to maximise the amount of power generated.
B. Garden Pergola
As for the garden pergola outside the villa or residence, solar panels can be installed in the Wheeled Sun Canopy. The wheeled sun canopy has the function of sheltering from the wind and rain, reducing the long-term wear and tear, coupled with the attachment of wheels that can move the panels in accordance with the different weather and environmental conditions, and can also provide the owner with a continuous supply of electricity.
C. farmland
The advantage of installing “solar scaffolding” on farmland is that crops and panels can co-exist. Different crops can be grown under the solar panels as usual, and there are even fishes and crabs swimming in the rice paddies, which shows that solar panels do not destroy the natural ecology, but rather, they can be mutually beneficial to the ecosystem.
How can I install a solar power system?
Melite is a professional team providing one-stop solar system solution services. After understanding the different needs of each customer, they will have a registered engineer visit the site to investigate before designing a tailor-made solar system and structure that suits the customer’s needs, with a view to providing the customer with a maximum efficiency system under the premise of safety, energy-saving and high efficiency.
After evaluating and designing a suitable PV system, Melite will also take care of the subsequent procurement, installation, management, maintenance and monitoring parts of the system, solving all the difficulties encountered by the customer in the process, plus having up to 10 years of original factory warranty for regular cleaning and maintenance of the system to ensure its stability.
