Investment project
The investment project involves the development of an eco ranch, with its energy generated from solar power combined with biogas. This project is, therefore, aimed at developing the power plant that will supply the eco-ranch with solar power. With the solar power plant aimed for use at the eco ranch, it will be essential to estimate the solar efficiency for the plant. Using the Project Sunroof tool, it will be possible to model the panel positioning. The tool will help with modelling the positioning such that it can maximize power generation by avoiding shade from surrounding trees. With this tool, it will also be possible to estimate the anticipated power output per year, helping with optimization on the best positioning that will generate the most power for the ranch.
With this project aiming to generate up to 10 KW of power, the up-front cost of installation and estimated operation cost over the next ten years is projected to reach slightly above Rp. 100.000.000,- The project is, therefore, expected to be funded by company finance resource, with additional funding to come from interested investors. Furthermore, with anticipated return on investment expected to be above 20% in the first year, the project is expected to interest substantial investment from outside investors. Also, the project’s operation is expected to capitalize on government incentives as well as renewable energy credits, making it a viable investment.
