Solar Power as the way forward to Tackle Energy Crises

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Pakistan has primarily relied on non-renewable energy sources, particularly oil and gas, to satisfy its energy needs. Back in 2013, coal used to be the cheapest energy source, and Pakistan’s energy infrastructure was based around coal-powered power plants. Due to the depletion of domestic reserves and price hikes in the international market, coal has become an expensive energy source.

Pakistan imports more than a third of its gas and 50 percent of its gasoline oil. Based on a recent analysis by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), Pakistan imported petroleum products worth $17.033 billion in the first 10 months of the current fiscal year (2021–22). It brings about a drastic increase of 95.84 % compared to the previous year’s imports which was $8.697 billion.

If Pakistan fails to address this issue, its economy can collapse into a debt spiral, and the country will get financial assistance from International Monetary Fund. Hence, it is mandatory to maintain and develop independent renewable energy solutions such as Solar, Wind, or Water.

In this regard, the Government of Pakistan introduced The Indicative Generation Capacity Plan to fulfill the future energy needs of Pakistan.

Addressing at second Int’l Pakistan Energy Summit (PRES) 2022 in Islamabad, Power Minister Engineer Khurram Dastgir said: “hydel generation was the “mainstay” of the country’s energy and that despite its issues, it remained the most feasible source of energy in the long run. Interestingly the new magic bullet is solar, as we are told that solar rates are coming down. Therefore, the way forward is hydel plus solar and whatever wind generation we can develop.”

Pakistan’s Government sees Solar Power as a major solution to the energy crisis.

By keeping this in mind, the Government of Pakistan aims to achieve 20% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2025. Power Minister Engineer Khurram Dastgir stated that on August 1, 2023, an advanced solar energy scheme will be introduced to the public by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. This scheme aims to highlight electrical issues and control the electricity prices that Pakistan is currently facing.

The Power Minister adds that the project will begin with installing seven solar panels where thermal energy plants already exist. The transmission wires are already there, so solar panels’ energy supply will be hassle-free. Moreover, there is also an ongoing discussion to install 1MW solar plants in underdeveloped areas of Pakistan. Doing this would assist in generating 2000MW of electricity just in the first stage.

Solar Systems will be installed at the Parliament House and the government buildings and offices to set an example of using solar energy. Likewise, non-renewable powered tube wells (e.g., diesel-powered tube wells in Balochistan) will also be converted to solar energy all over Pakistan to generate solar energy. The citizens will also be allowed to install solar panels ranging from one to three kilowatts in their houses. The cost of these modules will be recovered from saving on their electricity bills.

Before next summer, these schemes are expected to add 7000MW to 10000MW of electricity to the national grid system.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Shams Power registers Pakistan’s first project with I-REC

 

Shams Power registers Pakistan’s first project with The International REC Standard Foundation (I-REC Standard Foundation).

Shams Power has navigated through the detailed process of registering its solar power projects to claim Renewable Energy Certificates. Pakistan has registered its first device at an unprecedented pace, demonstrating the potential for the RECs market.

The I-REC Standard Foundation (I-REC Standard) just announced in December 2022 that Pakistan Environment Trust (PET), the I-REC(E) Issuer in Pakistan, has approved the first tradeable energy certificates in the country. PITCO was the technical consultant who helped Shams Power through the registration process.

REC allows renewable energy project developers (Shams Power) to value and sell renewable energy’s carbon offsetting benefit without physically supplying the renewable energy units. At the same time, it helps buyers to offset their Scope 2 Emissions. So, if a company pays for REC certificates, it will get the same benefits from renewables as it used to get from non-renewable. Hence, with the help of the Pakistan Environment Trust (PET), these benefits are facilitated locally.

To further discuss this initiative and registration concept, a Podcast was held online on Twitter between Pakistan Environment Trust speakers and PICTO’s Technical Lead, Mr. Qazi Sabir. The podcast covered a detailed conversation on how the IREC will accelerate Pakistan’s Green Energy Transition.

As in a Podcast, Mr. Qazi Sabir said:

“IREC is the new phenomenon in Pakistan, and the registration of IREC projects adds another feather to PITCO’s hat.”

He further mentions that IREC standards will assist the private sector in lowering emissions and strengthening the supply of renewable energy. Furthermore, it assists sectors like Export Industries in meeting their green targets and collaborate worldwide with partners who desire greener and carbon-free operations standards. Moreover, even if a company already follows Net Zero standards and might only practically shift a portion of its energy load to renewables, the remaining load can be easily offset by purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (REC).

Shams has registered its multiple solar projects to claim Renewable Energy Certificates (REC), and PAT requested Shams to give photographs of the meters and their calibration to check accuracy. More so, all additional details were submitted to PAT, who then submitted them to the IREC Foundation for successful registration of the projects.

A Commercial Solar Guide for Businesses who want to switch to Solar

How Rooftop solar can Separate Economic Growth from Environment Deterioration?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Climate change is undeniably a real issue resulting from global warming. The global population is growing at a 1.1% annual rate. The United Nations predicts that by the end of the century, there will be more than 11 billion people on Earth. To meet the fundamental demands of this rising population, global GDP must increase by roughly 3.5%. The researchers ‘RCP 8.5’ scenario predicts global warming up to 4 degrees Celsius if current conditions continue. Therefore, urgent action is required to solve the problem of sustaining the expanding population while reducing GHG emissions.

Why is it necessary to separate emissions from economic growth?

In the past, economists believed in the “Environmental Kuznets Curve,” which postulates that while economic growth initially causes environmental deterioration, the degradation rate reverses after a certain point. However, modern research has found that we run the risk of stepping outside the bounds of the planet even before the essential criterion of reversing environmental damage is reached. Considering these realities, academics and politicians are increasingly interested in separating economic growth and environmental challenges. At first resource efficiency was considered to be the decoupling approach. It has been noted that resource efficiency is connected to the “rebound phenomena,” where consumption rises directly to the efficiency attained. Hence, the experts have suggested structural modifications to take the “rebound phenomena” into account.

The average CO2 emission factor for a coal-fired power station is approximately 0.998 kg/KWh, compared to 0.015 kg/kWh for hydropower. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar have no operating emission factor. Consequently, there is a significant chance that increasing the amount of renewable energy in the energy mix will lower GHG emissions.

Rooftop solar

How to achieve growth and reduce emissions with Commercial Rooftop Solar System

Rooftop solar represents one of the most cost-effective ways to shift the energy balance. The price of electricity, net-metering regulations, corporate social responsibility, and customer knowledge are a few aspects that encourage industries to focus on maximizing rooftop solar’s potential.

One of the primary issues that industrial and commercial customers face is the upfront cost necessary for rooftop solar installation. However, the C&I sector can use Solar PPA contracts to solve this issue. In this approach, the energy service provider invests in the solar power plant and oversees asset operation and maintenance. Clients do not pay for capital investment and are expected to only pay a, mutually agreed-upon, fixed discounted tariff rate. The PPA model is anticipated to improve the rooftop solar system’s feasibility, consequently reducing the carbon footprint of electricity use, thus, separating economic growth from environmental degradation. Additionally, the lower cost of electricity will result in lower utility expenses, boosting profitability.

Rooftop solar

Challenges with rooftop solar and solutions

The use of rooftop solar energy is accompanied by several difficulties, including tidal and seasonal oscillations and the fate of solar panels at the end of their useful lives. The first can be reduced by continuing to rely on grid power. The second requires more research and development to find an environmentally responsible way to dispose of solar panels once their useful lives have passed.

Organizations can use the BOOT model under PPA contracts to rationalize rooftop solar rates and attain a sophisticated statistical and financial model program from the solar service provider. Those businesses who believe in PPA are working hard to find a reasonable tariff rate that would benefit both the service provider and the customers. The development of different green finance tools, including green bonds, can lower the cost of capital and, consequently, tariff rates. There is still much to be done for the rooftop solar business, which is still in its early stages. However, it is undeniable that widespread rooftop solar adoption will contribute to helping in increasing economic growth and reducing environmental deterioration.

Top Reasons why producing solar energy is cheaper than coal-fired energy

As technology has evolved in the renewable energy sector, opting for solar energy has become increasingly common in industries where coal is the main source of power generation. Numerous studies have shown that electricity produced by coal-fired power plants is more expensive than electricity produced by solar energy.

Moreover, solar energy is green energy which brings sustainability. Hence, contributing to the betterment of the environment by cutting down the carbon emissions is another important factor for firms switching towards solar.

The benefits of using solar energy over coal

The majority of people are already aware of the drawbacks, such as the increase in greenhouse gases brought on by coal usage. It includes significant pollution and is an inadequate resource that will gradually disappear.

Solar energy systems use an abundant supply of sunlight and can be installed on roofs, ground, or even car parking. Solar is a non-polluting source of green energy, which is a significant advantage for any large-scale organization. In contrast, the production of fossil fuels like coal degrades the environment. Many users might not be aware that using fossil fuels, in addition to producing greenhouse gas emissions, also causes the water supply to deteriorate and erode.

Pakistan has also taken some initiatives to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Due to this, Pakistan also participated in the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) to address critical issues such as climate change and its financial consequences.

Solar Power Plants

Solar Power Plants: An affordable option for the C&I Sector.

The following important arguments demonstrate that solar power plants are less expensive than coal-fired power plants.

Solar energy is more environmentally friendly than non-renewable sources like coal and fossil fuels. As a result, electricity produced by a commercial rooftop solar system does not release greenhouse gasses and protects the environment from damaging carbon emissions.

No Capital cost in case of PPA

The PPA contract helps companies to avail solar energy supply without paying any capital cost for installing it on their land. So, the cost of installing on land gets erased. Shams Power’s expert team maintains a precise schedule for all operational maintenance. Throughout the PPA contract, our services will also include cleaning and maintaining the solar system.

Solar Power Plants

Low Costs of Labour

Pakistan has the lowest labour costs, allowing the solar sector to hire many people, resulting in project completion at the absolute lowest pricing and making solar power plants less expensive than coal-fired power plants.

Price Reduction

The price sensitivity has given solar power plants the advantage. The cost of solar energy is determined by the complete analysis of the commercial solar power plant. Crucial parts like solar panels, inverters, and junction boxes are available for significantly less money, even if bought from international suppliers, compared to a coal unit’s energy production. Moreover, if the organization is getting solar energy under a PPA contract, it will only have to pay discounted rates for each energy unit consumed. Therefore, price sensitivity is a major factor that explains why solar is preferable over coal.

Available for the future

Energy Providers like Shams Power are supplying solar power plants at half the cost of coal. Energy storage will be essential in the upcoming years, so coal is scarce, and solar is an abundant power source.

In this regard, the government is also helping the C&I sector realize its long-term goal of elevating the solar industry to the next level.

Hence, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) recently announced that it will extend the Financing Scheme for Renewable Energy for two years, which will last up to June 30, 2024.

Here is everything you need to know about the types of Solar Panels.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The rising global warming and climate change concerns encouraged world economies to probe into renewable energy sources. Due to the abundance and availability of solar irradiation, solar energy technology is being extensively researched and widely adopted. Hence, the Solar Panel System market has boomed since its creation in the middle of the 20th century because of its efficient and environmentally friendly method of generating electricity.

What are PV panels?

Photovoltaic (PV) panels, more commonly referred to as solar panels, utilize the sun’s energy and turn it into electricity. This article will go through different types of PV panels and systems and their performance.

Solar PV System Types

Let’s first talk about the different solar energy systems before moving on to the various PV solar panel types.

There are three main kinds of solar PV systems:

  • On-Grid Systems
  • Off-Grid Systems
  • Hybrid Systems

On-Grid Solar System

The On-Grid solar system is connected to the utility grid via a power inverter device which allows the solar system to function in parallel with the electric grid.

Off-Grid Solar System:

The Off-Grid solar system is not connected to the utility grid. These systems require a battery storage system in order to store the extra energy generated throughout the day to be used later when solar energy generation decreases or ceases.

Hybrid Solar System: 

The Hybrid solar system is connected to the utility grid while also having a battery storage system in order to store the extra energy generated. Hybrid solar systems provide great coverage against both irregular solar energy production and unannounced power outages.

shams power-solar panels

TYPES OF PV PANELS

PV solar panels come in a variety of technology types. Monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin film are some of these varieties.

Monocrystalline

It is recognized as mono because single-crystal silicon permits electrons to make electricity. The thickness of these wafers ranges between 200 and 400 μm. The cells are divided into a single silicon source resulting in monocrystalline modules that are the most effective of the several modules. Such modules have powerful output and an efficiency of about 20%. The benefits of such modules include taking up the least amount of space and long-lasting quality.

Polycrystalline 

The word “polycrystalline” means “many,” which implies that a polycrystalline panel is constructed from several blended silicon bits. A polycrystalline solar panel is constructed from melted silicon wafers with thicknesses ranging from 200 to 400 μm. A polycrystalline module can be used for more than 25 years without failure. Polycrystalline modules are in high demand because they offer the highest performance. 

Thin-film 

Different types of materials are used to do thin-film modules. Instead of solid silicon wafers, they are made of non-crystalline silicon placed on top of glass, plastic, or metal. Thin Film modules are the best choice for fewer power tasks because they are inexpensive, lightweight, and portable. These sorts of PV panels are employed in commercial and industrial projects where space is limited.

Solar Power Performance Under Different Environmental Conditions

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Solar Industry has experienced exponential innovation in technology over the past ten years. With every solar advancement, energy generation has become more efficient and the cost of solar systems has fallen making solar adoption more feasible.

If a firm intends to install a solar power plant on its premises, it is essential to check for the solar system’s energy efficiency. It is prudent for a user to enquire about the factors that affect solar energy efficiency in order to make an informed decision. Moreover, a solar system’s efficiency varies, and depends on several factors.

Factors Affecting Solar Energy Production

Variations in Degrees/Celsius around the country

Many people believe that intense heat results in more excellent power production. However, do you know that the solar system’s efficiency falls by around 0.25% for every degree over 25°C? The solar cells’ maximum generation capacity is dramatically reduced due to the dropping of voltage between the solar cells caused by contact with intense heat. Therefore, it is advisable to opt for locations that will not cause any damage due to extreme heated temperatures.

Solar Power

Shade on the Solar Panels 

There could be a significant power loss if the solar panels are covered in the shade. Solar cells are interconnected in a series (inside or across panels). As a result, the shaded cells stop the current from passing through the complete chain of linked cells. Therefore, solar energy firms in Pakistan advise businesses to avoid putting solar panels in locations where there will be significant shade most of the day.

Angle Alignment

Solar panels must be positioned and slanted to receive abundant direct sunlight throughout the day. Since this cannot be done manually, it is ideal to take the help of experts who can position these solar panels under the direction of the sun from morning to evening. Engineers, therefore, install a solar system under the sun’s direction using yield and shadow analyses.

Solar Power

Solar System Maintenance 

The solar system’s effectiveness is also affected by pollution, precipitation, dust, and sandstorms. Regular cleaning ensures that the solar panel surface is free of debris and produces electricity efficiently.

Hence, monthly cleaning and maintenance are required to generate a high volume of energy units. In the PPA agreement, the energy provider is in charge of cleaning and maintaining the solar system, while the buyer is not liable for any maintenance expenses.

Geographical Positioning

The local climate and amount of daylight vary from location to location in Pakistan. It significantly impacts solar insolation (the frequency of solar power coming every cm2/min). Hence, it is essential to consider the level of solar irradiance on the land if a company intends to buy a solar system for running its business operations.

Effects Of Bad Weather 

Energy suppliers in Pakistan have offered high-quality solar systems to ensure safety from heavy rains, storms, and other weather conditions for more than 25 years. The outer layer of glass prevents solar panel surface heating while allowing raindrops and storm dust to slide off the panels easily.

Are you looking for an experienced and reliable solar energy provider in Pakistan?

Solar Powered Cars

Another technological advancement in the solar world is solar-powered automobiles. This innovation can transform solar energy into electricity to power a car’s engine. It does with the concept of Solar-to-fuel conversion that makes hydrogen fuel using solar energy. Hence, solar-powered cars can help to cut down the dependence on oil/petrol/diesel and CNG base cars.

Sun-Tracking Solar Cells 

Solar cells that follow the sun from east to west throughout the day were launched in December 2016. These solar cells are bowl-shaped and can be used in a Solar PV System. It employs solar trackers to track the sun to gather more of its energy. Hence, this will help produce maximum energy for the commercial and industrial sectors.

Solar cells are printable


The printing of solar cells onto thin plastic sheets was launched in February 2017. The thickness of these solar cells is only about half a millimeter. They can be folded up because of their elasticity. They are also durable enough to avoid harm when struck by a car or submerged in water.

Solar cells made of silicon

Silicon solar cells have become one of the most direct sources of electricity from renewable energy sources. Researchers have also developed a bifacial silicon solar cell with efficiencies of 23.3% on the front and 23.4% on the back, thus increasing the solar cell efficiency record by 29.52 percent in December 2020. Hence, according to the International Energy Agency’s 2020 energy outlook research, these silicon cells based solar energy systems are producing the cheapest commercial electricity in history.

Solar Energy System

Photovoltaics integrated into buildings

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) refers to incorporating photovoltaic qualities into the essential building components rather than rooftop solar panels. It means exteriors, roofs, glass windows, and all other types of shading producing the electricity that powers buildings. BIPVs effortlessly integrate into the architecture of the building, thus eliminating away the requirement for a separate mounted solar PV system installation.

How Solar tech advancements are changing the game of the solar industry

Enhancing Effectiveness

Manufacturers of solar cells and modules are still exploring ways to increase the effectiveness of solar panel systems. The solar conversion efficiency of 25% has been attained this year with the help of crystalline silicon technologies.

Thin-film techniques

Around 90% of the solar market has continued to be dominated by thin-film PV panels which have increased solar energy production.

Agrivoltaics

The solar business has a small but expanding sector dedicated to maximizing agricultural land use by covering crops with solar energy systems. Farms can be run self-sufficient with the help of solar energy. Moreover, solar panel shading can enhance yields while lowering water demand by minimizing evaporation.

Conclusion

Over the year, we have seen multiple solar tech innovations that bring positive hope for a sustainable environment. Hence, with these technologies, the planet can reduce carbon emissions for a greener and more prosperous future.

Alternative energy source

The fact that solar energy is a Carbon-free solution is the most significant advantage among its many other advantages. It is accessible every day and useable everywhere in the world. Unlike other sources that are being exploited excessively, solar energy can never run out. As long as the sun exists, solar energy will be easily accessible to everyone.

Offers the security of energy supply on the premises

Adoption of solar energy also increases the energy independence of the organizations. For this reason, governments are encouraging organizations to implement renewable sources like solar energy for their operational use. Regarding this, the state bank of Pakistan recently declared that it would extend the financing scheme for alternative energy for two or more years, ending on June 30, 2024. Thus, many companies are now encouraged to opt for solar financing without worrying about financial problems.

Reduce carbon emission

It is well known that carbon dioxide contributes to global warming, which is melting glaciers, threatening the survival of species, and worsening habitats. However, with solar energy, we can reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

Cost Efficient Maintenance 

Solar Power plants require regular maintenance and the whole process is very delicate so must be handled by experts. However; the solar system’s maintenance is still less complex when compared to the maintenance needs of other energy sources.

 Multiple uses 

Solar Power Systems operate independently and can be set up even in the most remote areas. It may be used to extract water in areas with low water supplies, produce electricity in remote areas, and run manufacturing factories, commercial buildings, and even spaceships.

Reduce electricity cost and boost savings

Ever-increasing fossil fuel prices have led to rising in electricity bills while rapid development in solar technology has reduced costs and increased energy yield efficiency. Thus, energy bills will surely go down as the solar energy system will fulfill several energy requirements.

Solar Energy better for the Climate 

As the effect of climate change worsens, the developing nation will face different energy challenges due to their needs.

Hence, a convention called Paris Agreement was held that permitted countries to establish their objectives for lower carbon emissions. 196 nations committed to boosting their clean energy usage in 2015. Under this agreement, they are dealing the environmental and economic trade-offs with renewable energy sources.

In this regard, Pakistan has taken action to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Pakistan also participated in COP26, the 26th conference of the parties, to debate important issues like climate change and its economic effects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
