ROI within 5 years!
A manufacturing company saves 842,500 CZK per year with a PV system funded by the RES+ grant no. 1/2025.
Let's examine the project's financial breakdown from the beginning.
Let's imagine a mechanical engineering company from the South Moravian Region that operates a production hall with its own administrative building and wants to reduce its electricity costs by installing a photovoltaic power plant.
After consultation with Alternative Energy Systems project designers, they decided to install a 250 kWp PV plant on the roof of the production hall.
The company has an annual electricity consumption of approximately 420 MWh. Most consumption occurs during working days in two-shift operation (6:00 AM - 10:00 PM). During weekends, consumption is significantly lower, but some systems such as servers, cooling, and security elements operate continuously.
The project is financed through a combination of the RES+ grant program and the company's own resources.
The grant support amounting to 1.5 million CZK covers 30% of the total eligible costs, which significantly accelerates the return on investment.
The project includes installation of 400 pieces of photovoltaic panels with 500 Wp power and 23.5% efficiency. The panels will be placed on a special structure with east-west orientation (so-called east-west system), which maximizes the utilization of the flat roof.
The installation will include modern Fronius Tauro inverters with a 12-year warranty and an online monitoring system connected to Alternative Energy Systems' control center.
ROI (Return on investment)
3,500,000 CZK ÷ 842,500 CZK = 4.2 years
considering electricity price growth, maintenance costs, and cash flows: since 5 years
Thanks to the comprehensive "turnkey" solution from Alternative Energy Systems, the company can implement the entire project without the need to allocate its own personnel capacity and with the assurance that the entire system will be optimally designed and operated with maximum efficiency.
Energy cost stabilization - reduced dependence on electricity price fluctuations in the market
Blackout protection - in case of grid failure, the system can provide at least partial electricity supply for critical systems
Utilization of unused roof area - the roof brings economic benefits to the company
Tax advantages - possibility of accelerated depreciation of solar power plants
ESG profile improvement - carbon footprint reduction and strengthening the image of a responsible company
