𝟯 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 Based on a study done by the RWTH Aachen University and published by the pv magazine Global it is shown that there are several ways on how to reduce the payback time of renewable energy assets in consumer homes. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝟭𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 Heatpumps by itself are having a payback time of around 10years if compared to gas heating. They come often with investments of approx. 30'000 EUR for an air-water and up to 60'000 EUR for a ground source installation. 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝟳 Integrating and aligning solar production with consumption on a local level with a home energy management system has already impact reducing payback times to 8 and with storage even to 7 years according to the study ( Kapacity.io ) 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟳 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘅 Additional integration with dynamic tariffs and leverage of the capacity on flexibility for power system balancing can reduce payback times even further when integrated into appealing business models for consumers. Depending on the country and the setup this can be significant ( beebop.ai ) Challenges remain the upfront investment and the allocation of risk, which can be overcome by e.g. financing models or innovative offerings ( Enpal, Octopus Energy ) Which opportunities do you see?
