@GridlessAfrica@solarmateng A7a: However policies and regulations in the financial sector that will make access to finance for solar projects affordable will be of great assistance to developers. #GridlessAfricaE
@GridlessAfrica@solarmateng A7: As stated earlier C&I solar will be driven mainly by economics as opposed to regulatory environments. However, it will be appreciated if the import tariffs can be much lower than they presently are.. #GridlessAfrica
Q7: @DotunTokun So far Solar Systems have been successfully deployed in other regions. What policies do you think we can adopt in Africa to experience similar and better successes? #GridlessAfrica#GACentralAfrica@solarmateng
@GridlessAfrica@solarmateng A6a: On the part of the developer, main key factors are ability of off taker to pay, availability of space and if one can find a compelling proposition or argument against the power supply being used presently. #GridlessAfrica E
@GridlessAfrica@solarmateng A6: The key indicators for the prospective client is proposed financial arrangement by the developer and certainly cost savings envisaged. #GridlessAfrica
@GridlessAfrica@solarmateng A5d: We at Solarmate are very optimistic about the future and expect 2019 to be a record year for the C&I solar industry. We also believe that in the next 10 years C&I solar could account for up to 2.4GW. #GridlessAfrica E
@GridlessAfrica@solarmateng A5c: According to BNEF (Bloomberg New Energy Finance) in its January 2019 report, In November 2018, BNEF identified a C&I solar capacity of at least 20MW in Nigeria, and developers reported a pipeline of 52MW. #GridlessAfrica
@GridlessAfrica@solarmateng A5b: Presently in Nigeria, grid tariff is still lower than C&I solar due to the addition of battery banks. However, C&I solar is competitive with diesel power. #GridlessAfrica
@GridlessAfrica@solarmateng A5: The Bloomberg report “Solar for Businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa” of 24 Jan 2019, available online clearly show that in 7 out of 15 markets, solar is cheaper than grid tariffs for C&I customers. #GridlessAfrica
@GridlessAfrica@solarmateng A4c: to prepare and submit a compelling value proposition, we will have to carry out a power audit of existing installation and show the cost savings to prospective clients. #GridlessAfrica E
@GridlessAfrica@solarmateng A4b: Typically, a combination of Solar and diesel generator (properly designed and installed) will achieve more than a 20% savings in energy bill for prospective companies and industries in Nigeria. Savings in the long run could be up to 40% #GridlessAfrica
