Alternative Sources of energy
By Rakshit vij,RayAlternative Sources of energyIntroWe are a Christchurch based Engineering firm. The company specializes in designing equipment that use alternative sources of energy.
We are here to acquire new talent across three departments (solar, wind and water) Our Topic is Alternative sources of energy
Department :1Solar energyWe are responsible for designing solar arrays for homes and businesses
Solar power in New Zealand is responsible for 0.1 % of energy generation
The overall cost of solar panels have been going down therefore usage is increasing.Largest solar power plant
Yealand Estate winery in BlenheimYealand Estate wineryThere are a total of 297 individual solar panels
The total energy output is 133,000 kWh which is enough to power 17 New Zealand households for one year.
The panels only cover the north side of the winery
It took four weeks to completeBenefitsInstallation of solar panels allow you to be off the grid, therefore you are not paying any electricity bills
New Zealand gets around 2000 hours of sunlight every year, therefore making solar energy a reliable source of energy generation
Average cost for owning solar panels are around $250 per year.
DrawbacksWould not be as efficient in winter
Cost of solar panels, installation and maintenance increase the payback period making it suitable as a long term investment
Cost for solar panels and installation is between $7000 and $15000 depending on the amount of energy that is needed.
