All solar energy systems operate on the same basic principles. Solar modules first convert solar energy or sunlight into direct current using the so-called photovoltaic effect (PV). The DC energy can then be stored in a battery or converted by a solar inverter into AC power that can be used to power electrical appliances. Depending on the type of system, the surplus solar energy can be fed into the electricity grid 'per credit', sold or stored in many different battery storage systems.
 
The development of the technology of photovoltaic modules together with the economies of scale has reduced the cost of solar power plants by 90% over a decade. This causes a massive global interest in electricity production, also on a micro and medium scale. Several dozen months of returns on investment are a sufficient incentive for owners of houses, companies and public institutions to install solar systems. In addition to economic values, environmental aspects, the need for decarbonisation, the elimination of the carbon footprint by entrepreneurs and saving natural environment are of great importance. The energy transformation has become a fact.

Necessary permits - paperwork

Investment Consulting Enterprise, on behalf of the client, will carry out all the necessary formal matters regarding the installation of the PV system, installation and commissioning of the system, applications to the Distribution Network. Our legal department will prepare and submit applications required by law, and will obtain the required permits and decisions on behalf of the client. We are distinguished by efficiency and a quick path to obtain formal decisions, approvals and opinions.

Delivery and warranty

Our knowledge and competences are unique on the Polish market. An international team of experienced experts provide services from the module manufacturing factory. There we carry out  factory audits - minimizing the risk thanks to a comprehensive evaluation system. Factory inspections before shipment make each batch of modules for our clients meet the agreed criteria. We deliver the equipment only after our expert presents a quality certificate for an individual batch of goods. Enforcement of quality standards and guarantees is possible only when the delivery contract reflects the agreed conditions - this is how we operate. We always have legal protection that ensures long-term but most of all effective product warranty.

Conceptual design

We provide engineering services by developing a feasibility and performance study as well as an optimized conceptual design of PV installations. Our goal is to provide our clients with the lowest level of LCOE (levelized cost of electricity), i.e. precise estimation of the costs of the PV installation and its operation over its entire operating time. We end this stage by submitting a report with a recommendation to choose the right investment and installation model.

After-sales service and technical inspections

As part of our contracts, we carry out expert technical and warranty inspections. In addition to technical prevention - it allows us to analyze the assessments of key aspects of solar installations. This translates into efficiency and reliability of solar systems. Our technical experts have an experience-based rating system that focuses on highlighting risks and recommending good solutions.

The identification of risks and their transformation into opportunities are the added value of cooperation with Investment Consulting Enterprise.

Monitoring of efficiency and operation of the installation

We support our clients by monitoring the work of photovoltaic installations after their commissioning through proven computer programs. Thanks to this, most of the ongoing maintenance activities remain outsourced outside our client's enterprise, and in the event of a failure, we immediately remove the defects, restoring full system performance.

One of the undisputed advantages of photovoltaic installations is the certainty of lower electricity bills. For entrepreneurs with a manufacturing profile, electricity costs are usually the third prime cost item (after the cost of materials and raw materials, and personnel costs).

The increase in electricity costs in Poland stimulates the search for savings. Due to their multi-level benefits, photovoltaic installations are obviously the first choice. Generating energy for our own needs and selling the generated surplus in order to balance costs to zero is the goal that we will strive to achieve when submitting recommendations on the use of a dedicated solution for our clients. Independence from fluctuations in electricity prices Together with the fact that companies allocate almost 80% of the energy produced from PV installations to self-consumption has full economic justification. The investment costs become tax costs. It is not only about image goals, but also about a clean profit and loss account.

Due to the energy transformation, large-scale photovoltaic projects are characterized by a great development dynamics in Poland. Since 2019, investors have been looking for land for PV farms, and the total amount of installed PV capacity by the end of January 2021 amounted to 4.1GW. The vast majority are micro-installations, but this trend will probably be reversed in 2021, when the volume of large-scale PV installations will increase dynamically. In 2020, auctions were concluded, on the basis of which over 0.7 GW of capacity may be generated.
 
We offer our clients a comprehensive service of investment projects, from a feasibility study, through a precise analysis of efficiency and yields to the LCOE (Levelized cost of Energy) analysis of the project. We guarantee a reliable selection of installation elements, its assembly carried out by companies proven on the German market, all the way to professional after-sales service. Developing a successful project requires care and skill.

Responsible implementation of social tasks, apart from significant economic reasons, entails concern for the health of the inhabitants of cities and towns, air cleanliness and effective management of innovative sources of energy production for the needs of local governments. Kindergartens, schools, administrative offices, hospitals and many other public benefit institutions are waiting for the transformation of electricity generation sources. In big-city environments, the world view focused on nature protection is of great importance. Municipal PV plant projects are the perfect choice to improve municipal credit union budgets and the quality of life of residents.
 
For our clients will carry out the due diligence process of local government institutions and we will show city authorities the economic, ecological and image effect. The use of PV installations in urban centers brings only  benefits. We will carry out investment projects regarding renewable energy from end to end.

The agricultural sector in Poland consists of over 1,317 million farms, which, after Poland joining the EU, are currently focusing on the specialization of agricultural production. The breeding of cattle is becoming more common, but the trend for pigs is reversed. The development of the poultry and vegetable sector as well as year-round production in greenhouses make electricity a considerable cost for farms. Agricultural refrigeration generates high levels of energy consumption and high costs.

We offer solar systems solutions dedicated to the agricultural sector that will eliminate the cost of electricity altogether (!). Thanks to modern software for the design and simulation of electricity production, we will make solar systems for you in a convenient location and, above all, we will make sure that the parameters of the solar power plant are adapted to the real needs of the farm without over- or underestimating which is a common problem among installers. Financing investments from external funds with the lowest cost level in Poland will ensure a low cost of entry and operation of the solar system.

Together with our partners, we are precursors in the design of solar systems for sports facilities. Specialized tools and knowledge allow us to dimension the solar installation and select modules appropriate for the needs of the facility, which will blend in with the harmony and style of the stadium, sports hall, swimming pools and training facilities. We carry out precise calculations based on historical energy consumption and instantaneous power consumption in the perspective of the sports cycle / calendar year of the sports facility. We will design and compose a solar system thanks to which energy costs for owners of sports facilities will amount to almost zero. The use of an energy storage facility will be an additional advantage and will improve the energy security of the facility.

The use of dedicated and modern modules and the supervision of our experts over their production gives you a guarantee of several dozen years of solar system operation. Combining the solar system for sports facilities with an energy storage unit will result in almost complete independence from electricity suppliers and reduce the fixed costs of operating sports facilities.
