Net-Billing

A PV system that applies at any kind of industrial premises.

Questions and answers

A PV system under the net-billing scheme applies at any kind of industrial premises including hotels, supermarkets and factories. Harnessing solar power can lower the environmental footprint, increase the energy efficiency and increase the financial yield of your business.

Step 1 : The required licenses are secured.

Step 2 : EAC connection terms are secured and payed.

Step 3 : The agreed Photovoltaic (PV) System is installed as designed.

Step 4 : The Photovoltaic system is inspected by EAC.

Step 5 : CERA operation permit.

Step 6 : Purchasing agreement with EAC is signed.

Step 7 : Connection of the system to the EAC electricity grid.

Step 8 : The premises use the electricity generated to cover their electricity needs. In the occasion of energy deficits the customer pays to the EAC for the used electricity. In the case of higher energy yield from the photovoltaic system the excess electricity is channelized in the electricity network. The generator receives credit equal to the EAC cost of avoidance calculated by CERA for each unit of electricity fed to the EAC grid.

Cut your bills : Solar energy increases the energy efficiency of your building that leads to high financial returns on your investment. The generator is being paid for the excess energy provides to the EAC grid.

Long term investment : Solar panels can power your premises for decades to come.

Cut your CHG emissions : Lowers the environmental carbon footprint of your industrial premises and prevents the atmospheric pollution that results from conventional energy sources. Enables the industry/business to comply with the national laws and regulations relevant to greenhouse gas emissions.
