Entrepreneur invests in solar to supply three properties

“On your roof, you can earn good money and stop paying a good part of your energy bill without doing anything at all.” This is what businessman Jurandir Floss said. The owner of the Pointer mechanics shop, located in Chapecó (SC), decided to invest in sustainable sources and installed a photovoltaic system in his establishment.

The plant, which has been in operation for over a year, meets all the electrical energy needs of the mechanics, his residence and a country house. In total, there are 45 340 W modules and a 20 kW Renovigi inverter, totaling a power of 13,30 kWp. The advantage is so great that the customer already has accumulated credits on the grid, as highlighted by Rafael Biondo, from Biondotech Energia Solar, a Renovigi accredited company responsible for the project.

According to Floss, the average generation is 1.221 kWh per month. Before installing the solar plant, the cost of electricity was approximately R$650. Today, the monthly cost is R$114, a reduction of 90%. “You never stop paying for water and electricity. Photovoltaic energy has brought savings to our business and was one of the decisive factors. Today, we spend only 10% of what we used to spend and, in addition to saving, I am making money,” highlighted the businessman.

In Chapecó alone, Renovigi has already installed more than 230 solar systems. The distributor relies on Sicoob as a partner to finance its products, with any individual or legal entity available to finance, whether they are members or not. “We believe in the development of the communities where we operate, and when Sicoob finances a solar power plant, in addition to reducing the customer’s costs, we fulfill our purpose of helping our members develop,” emphasized Jussara Maria Bertol, superintendent of Sicoob Maxicrédito.
