How does subscription solar power work?

Probability of producing energy Being at home and being able to save on electricity bills at the end of the month has been the desire of most Brazilians. Especially in the current economic scenario.

However, some factors prevent the installation of equipment for production. solar energybe it photovoltaic units or even solar heaters.

These factors include the lack of space or roof structure to accommodate radiation or heat-trapping plates, and even the cost and bureaucracy for installation and arrangement.

But that can change.

Subscription solar power

The shared power generation model has been possible since 2015. But back then, with lame legislation, few people had the courage to invest in this segment.

Currently, with better incentive laws, companies specialize in providing the service, which has advantages such as not having to install any equipment in your home.

Plus, you don’t need to make an initial investment to start enjoying it, and some companies don’t charge cancellation fees. Communication is done entirely online and agility is ensured in the service.

The contracted company contacts the local energy distributor in person and the credits obtained from solar energy are deducted directly from the electricity bill. The reason for this is the agreements signed between the companies producing solar energy and the electricity distributors.

This whole process saves between 10% and 15% on the bill. Depending on the region of Brazil, some people may save up to 20% on the total amount of the invoice.

These values ​​already include the value of the subscription fee, so even if you pay for the subscription, it’s still possible to save. Rates and energy packages vary from company to company and are based on an analysis of your monthly energy consumption.

In real numbers, someone who spends R$150.00 on electricity per month with at least 10% discount per month on each bill saves R$180.00 per year.

Considering the companies that pay about 10 thousand reals on their electricity bills, the annual minimum savings is 12 thousand reals, a considerable amount.

But beware: For the system to be viable, the contracted solar company must be in the same region as the power distribution concessionaire.

But where does the energy come from?

This commercialized solar power comes from solar farms that may or may not be close to your home. An alternative that some companies offer is equipment loans.

In this case, you also do not pay for the installation and maintenance of the panels, you only pay a monthly fee for the service. The advantage of this alternative is that you can save up to 95% on your electricity bill and you can sell these energy “credits” if you don’t consume all of the energy produced.

Advantages of Solar Energy

The sun is a clean, renewable and sustainable energy source. In addition, with photovoltaic panels, it is possible to capture radiation and generate energy even on cloudy and rainy days.

Another advantage is the lifetime of the equipment, which is usually around 25 years with low cost maintenance. Make sure that the plates are clean so that there is no deterioration in energy production.

With subscription plans, you can guarantee many benefits without having to invest in installing the system in your home.

But if you decide to do the installation independently, know that the investment is at least 20,000 reals and the financial return is estimated within 4 or 5 years after launch.

According to a report by the G1, subscription plans have begun to compete as a new form of power generation currently responsible for only 1.7% of all energy produced in the national region.

Subscription plans that save money and provide easier access to one type of clean and sustainable energy is a growing and promising market. If you want to know more, do a quick google search for companies offering services in your area.
