太阳能是如何帮助一个普通家庭发家致富的。

近几年,随着社会的进步和科技的发展,“清洁能源”一词已经逐渐流行起来。不管是汽车,还是我们生活中所使用的电,现在已经都在逐步转型,使用清洁能源了。

根据芬兰拉普兰塔理工大学的一项研究结果表明,


2050年我们将实现100%可再生能源供电而其中太阳能光伏发电系统将占69%


这足以证明,太阳能光伏发电系统将成为未来的主流趋势。那么太阳能光伏发电系统到底是什么呢?今天,小胖伏就给大家好好讲讲这个“清洁能源界”的扛把子。

01什么是太阳能?

“什么是太阳能?“

“太阳能?那不就是太阳能热水器吗?”

相信很多朋友在被问到“什么是太阳能”时,其答案一定与上面的不相上下,以为太阳能就是太阳能热水器,但是,实际上,太阳能远不止太阳能热水器那么简单。


所谓太阳能,就是指太阳的热辐射能,是一种可再生能源,其主要表现出来的形式也是我们大家常说的“太阳能光线”。


太阳能的转化形式主要有两种,一种是光热转化,比如说我们常常使用的太阳能热水器,另一种就是光电转化,主要就是我们常常听说的太阳能光伏发电。过去,我们提及的太阳能可能很多都是太阳能热水器,但是,现在,随着科技的发展,我们提及的更多是太阳能光伏发电。

02太阳能光伏的工作原理是什么?

整个过程,主要是将太阳的光能转换成电能。


因此,一般只要有光照,太阳能光伏系统都是可以工作的,只是阴天与晴天相比,由于光照量的不同,太阳能光伏所能够发出的电量也会随之不同。

03太阳能光伏系统

是如何帮你节省电费的?太阳能光伏所发出的电,首先是供家里日常使用的,而对于那些用不完的电,则会通过电力零售公司卖回给电网。


因此,若在家安装了太阳能组件,则相当于在家里安装了一个小型的太阳能发电站,这个电不仅仅能够供家中日常的使用,还能够卖回给电网,赚钱。


给大家举一个简单的例子,

正常来说,一个三口之家的每天的用电量大概是在5-8度电左右,而一个6.6kw的太阳能电池板加上5kw的逆变器,一天平均可发20-25度电左右。那么,这样计算下来,一个正常的家庭平均每天可向电网流回12-20度电左右。


而对于这些卖电赚到的钱,不仅仅可以用来抵扣夜晚用电的费用,有剩余的情况下,还可以用来支付天然气的账单。算下来,一年可以节省上千刀的费用。

04安装太阳能之后,应该如何选择电力公司呢?

应该如何选择电力公司呢很多人在安装完太阳能之后,都认为,应该选择一个太阳能回收价格最高的电力公司,殊不知,这里面存在着一个超级大的陷阱。

图片来自:网络首先,很多公司打着太阳能回收价高的幌子吸引顾客,却让用户在夜晚用电时支付高昂的电费。我们都知道,夜晚是用电高峰期,很多时候,家里的大型电器我们都是在晚上使用的,因此,晚上的用电量可以说是几乎占据了总用电量的一大半,尤其是对于那些白天需要上班的上班族来说。


另外,此前,小胖伏在《安装太阳能之后,这些事情不做好,电费分分钟涨几倍!》这篇文章中也曾提及,很多公司在收到用户安装了太阳能的消息后,都无法及时做到为用户更换智能电表以及tariff,以至于影响了用户得到收益的时间。在这种情况下,选择一个服务至上的电力公司是尤为重要的。


而Discover Energy作为一个将用户的切身权益放在首位的电力公司,不仅仅可以为用户提供最优质的服务,保证用户在最快的时间内享受到太阳能的收益,还可以为用户提供最智能的太阳能体验。

通过Discover Energy的app,用户不仅仅可以实时监测到太阳能的发电情况,还可以监测到电力回流至电网的情况,真正做到一个app满足你所有能源需求。而这一点是其他公司在技术上远远无法媲美的。


另外,更加值得一提的是,在Discover Energy的智能app上,用户还可以看到第二天太阳能发电量的预测情况,并且,基于Discover Energy与google home以及Alexa的智能连接,用户还可以通过语音直接向Google Home以及Alexa询问太阳能的发电以及卖电等情况。

VPP Smart Feed-in Algorithm: A Check-in
2022-05-18
By Javad Jazaeri, Discover Energy VPP Solution Manager In March 2022, Discover Energy launched the VPP Smart Feed-in Algorithm, which is currently helping our VPP customers in SA maximise the value of their solar feed-in by exporting their excess solar when it has a higher value. The algorithm uses machine learning to forecast load and generation at the household level based on the historical data, weather data, retail and network tariffs, and wholesale prices and then uses these forecasts to find the most valuable times to export electricity into the grid. In Discover Energy, we have been trialing this forecast-based algorithm for a number of our customers in South Australia. This figure from 17th May 2022, below shows how this algorithm changed the feed-in pattern for one of our customers. The excess solar and some of the stored electricity were directly fed into the grid in the morning when the feed-in had a higher value the grid needed more electricity. The total amount of solar being exported was the same, only the time of export was shifted to periods with higher feed-in value. The algorithm ensured that enough solar energy was available to fully charge the battery before the peak period.

Discover Energy Sales Update – May 2022
2022-05-12
13th May 2022 Current Discover Energy customers may be aware of upcoming changes to their rates and offers, while new or prospective customers may have noticed that we have closed the sales function of the website, and are currently not accepting any new sign-ups. Below is a short explainer on why we have made these changes. We hope to open up sales as soon as possible. If you have any queries please contact customerservice@discoverenergy.com.au , chat to us via the chat box or ring 1300 658 519. Why have we stopped selling? We will have to stop accepting any new customers on market offers as we are reviewing our current pricing for electricity and gas in all states and anticipate a SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE in prices for all customer usage on our gas and electricity plans.  And as such we would not like to welcome any new customers to Discover Energy with a price rise expected in the first week or two of being our customer. Why are we lifting prices? Wholesale prices are increasing  – AEMO* recently reported a 141% increase year on year and the Wholesale prices have continued to increase in April and May averaging nearly $200 NEM wide. So far in 2022 there has been unprecedented conditions in the wholesale market – prices of oil, gas and coal have seen significant increases because of world events such as the war in Ukraine and the after-effects of Covid-19 on energy supply chains have conspired to increase prices up to 500% in the case of spot gas.  Coal and gas generators (and hydro) have passed on these increases to their wholesale costs by pushing up the price they bid generation into the electricity market, with the bid prices for black coal, hydro and gas either tripling or doubling in the market.  This has pushed the cost forward of the spot energy that small retailers must purchase to supply our customers.  And as we don’t make money when the wholesale market price increases, we have no choice but to pass these increases onto our customers. As a small growing Retailer this price rise affects us adversely because we don’t own large coal or gas generators we just buy excess solar from our customers via feed-in-tariffs; and unfortunately the value of solar in the market has been declining at the same time as the price for peak energy has been increasing. *See AEMO quarterly dynamics report https://aemo.com.au/-/media/files/major-publications/qed/2022/qed-q1-report.pdf?la=en&hash=981BA7016C0C9A25947F0F05198EDB96 What’s does the future look like for electricity prices and Discover Energy customers? In the short-term, the outlook for electricity prices suggests that the prices will likely remain elevated. In the medium term, it is difficult to imagine that coal and gas prices will remain as high as they have been so far in 2022, and so the market expectation is for prices to fall in coming years. As soon as prices are reduced, Discover Energy will share any reductions with our customers.  However, the energy industry is going through a major transition where we would expect some further price volatility as the incumbent generators seek to extract as much value from their old generators and the market adjusts to a high renewable and high storage grid.  What can customers do now? Unfortunately, all electricity and gas retailers will be forced by the current circumstances to change their prices. At Discover Energy, we will proactively contact customers who recently joined OR who have high peak or annual usage to let them know a change to their rates is coming and discuss what options they have to best manage their bills.  This might be to check the government websites such as Energy Made Easy to find a better plan, or move onto a time of use tariff if the customer can lower their consumption in peak periods (generally weekdays – morning and evening). What about VPP and Solar? Discover Energy will continue to support the uptake of Solar and Battery installations in Australia.  In fact, we expect that the current electricity market will drive more customers to want to install solar and battery and we will be able to facilitate these installations by our extensive installation partner network thanks to our partner organisation One Stop Warehouse.  We will continue to operate our VPP platform and innovate via new smart EV charging and other new technologies that will support our customers and help insulate them against future price rises. Any questions? Need support? Please contact customerservice@discoverenergy.com.au , chat to us via the chat box or ring 1300 658 519.
