Solar power proposal

Bitstop Network Services IncBUSINESS PLAN PRESENTATION

Solar Powered Data CenterFIRST LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT DATA CENTER IN THE PHILIPPINES

Why Go Solar?• Countermeasure for impending power

shortage in PH by 2016 (or earlier)• Savings on electricity costs as PH has the

highest utility rate in Asia• Lower deployment and maintenance

costs due to Net Metering Law• Low Carbon Footprint Operations

Looming Power Shortage

Increasing Yearly Demand for Power

High Cost of Regular Power

Net Metering Implications• No need for batteries.– Reduces Total Solar installations by 30%– Reduces Maintenance costs by additional 50%

Low Carbon Footprint• Actually lowers

Operational Costs• Helps with Climate

Change• PR Value in Marketing

Promotions

Capacity Requirements• Current Consumption is 28.9 kWh• Forecast is growth of 20% year on year• Total Solar kWh needed :– 28.9 * 2 * (1.2)5

– Approx 150 kWh capacity

Sample Deployment Costs• Phase 1 (30kWh) PHP 3.24 million• Phase 2 (60 kWh) PHP 6.50 million• Phase 3 (90 kWh) PHP 9.75 million

• Total for all 3 phases: PHP 19.49 million or USD 453,500

Financial Plan• For Phase 1 (Principal: PHP 3.24 million)– Yearly Interest Payment (3.5%): PHP

113,400.00– Yearly Yield on Solar : PHP 560,000.00– Yearly net savings: PHP

446,000.00

• ROI of 7.26 years vs Solar Installation life of 20-25 years

Resource Requirements• South facing roof space for 150 kWh• Net Metering Inverters• Panasonic Solar Panels with highest

efficiencies• Capital Outlay to be disbursed in tranches

aligned with phase rollout

Risks and Rewards• Typhoons may destroy solar panels.

(Mitigated by taking insurance coverage and extended warranties)

• Power rates may go down. (Unlikely)• Power rates may go up. (Likely)• Operational even during prolonged power

outage due to triple source of redundant power (Utility, Solar, Diesel Generator)
