OPTIONS TO GO SOLAR...

 
When you are considering going solar for your business, you can either invest in a rooftop solar PV system (via OUTRIGHT PURCHASE model) or buy solar power under an agreement (via ZERO CAPEX model).

The OUTRIGHT PURCHASE model is where you hire a solar PV service provider who offers turnkey installation of entire solar power system. You will buy and own the solar PV system from your choice of solar PV service provider and be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the system. In terms of payment, you can opt to pay a lump sum, apply for a loan or via 0% credit card instalment plans.

Meanwhile, the ZERO CAPEX model is the preferred model for companies that do not want to invest in non-core operations. In this model, you will sign either a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) or a Supply Agreement with Renewable Energy (SARE) with a solar PV Investor for the sale and purchase of electricity generated from the solar PV system. Which agreement should you choose then? It depends on what the solar PV investor has to offer.

Listed below are the detailed differences between the OUTRIGHT PURCHASE model and

CATEGORY OF ELECTRICITY CONSUMERS UNDER
NEM 3.0 NOVA PROGRAM

 
As for business owners who choose to go solar under the OUTRIGHT PURCHASE model, they are entitled to the NOVA Program under the Net Energy Metering 3.0 scheme. This program is aimed at reducing business costs with the use of a solar PV system in the commercial and industrial sector.

Successful applicants will:
  • CONSUME the electricity generated with a solar PV system.
  • SELL excess electricity (generated with a solar PV system) back to the grid at market rate or System Marginal Price (SMP). The electricity sold will then be converted to credits and will be reflected in the following month’s electricity bill.
  • OFFSET excess electricity (generated with a solar PV system) by distributing it through virtual aggregation up to 3 different electricity bill accounts under the same name.

Applicant criteria: Individual or Company or Organisation for Commercial and Industrial only
