Commercial Case Study: YHI (New Zealand) Ltd Christchurch branch 


Energy Usage

The average daily energy usage of YHI’s Christchurch branch is 85kWh per day. With an average monthly power cost of $600.00 excluding GST.

Savings

Installing a 10kW system provided an average production of 40kWh per day. This gave an average daily power saving of 47% almost halving the daily cost of power for the branch!

Further Benefits

Because very little power is used on the weekends, YHI sold power back onto the residential grid at a rate of 0.25c per kWh for the first 5kWh per day and 0.10c per kWh for every KWh produced thereafter. This gives the sell back return of approximately $4.00 per weekend to further offset power costs. YHI have also avoided 720kg of CO2 emissions.

Financial Analysis

The cost of a 10kW Solar installation is $28,000.00 excluding GST, the financial analysis indicates a profit contribution in the fifth year of operation whilst the cash flow analysis indicates a positive cash flow return in year ten.

With a life expectancy of 20 years this system offers a healthy return on investment and long term positive cash flow.

System Specifications

Forty 250W Renesola panels and a 3 Phase 10kW SMA inverter, Neuton Power Aluminium Tin Interface Kit and Neuton Power railing system.
