Fossil fuels are non-renewable, that is, they draw on finite resources that will eventually dwindle, becoming too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve. In contrast, the many types of renewable energy resources-such as wind and solar energy-are constantly replenished and will never run out.

Most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the sun. Sunlight, or solar energy, can be used directly for heating and lighting homes and other buildings, for generating electricity, and for hot water heating, solar cooling, and a variety of commercial and industrial uses.

At Orissa Wicomm, we believe renewable energy and specifically solar PV has an important role to play in promoting the adoption of clean and green energy, in line with Malaysia's proposal to reduce its CO2 emissions to 40 per cent by the year 2020 compared with its 2005 levels.

As a SEDA (Sustainable Energy Development Authority) approved system’s integrator, Orissa Wicomm is well positioned to help residential, commercial and utility scale requirements through its strategic partnerships.

With a hybrid solution from Orissa Wicomm, operators can now substitute, partially or in full, the diesel generators and make use of solar energy.

Our hybrid solutions are effectively managed through an intuitive monitoring and control system, helping you optimize performance and significantly reduce operating cost.

The benefits of a Hybrid Powered Solution includes -

• Up to 80% OPEX Reduction
• 96,5% Efficiency
• Reduced CO2 Emissions
• Reduced Service Requirements
• Remote Monitoring & Control
• Fully Integrated
• Modularity
• Galvanic Isolation

Our capabilities are not limited to providing Off-Grid Solutions for:

1. Off-Grid AC & DC Solutions
2. Charge Discharge (CDC) Solution
3. Pure Solar
4. Poor Grid Solar Hybrid Solution

 

 Green Energy/Solar PV with Feed-in Tariff (FiT)

One of the main areas of concern in our world today is climate change and the move to cap global carbon emissions through investment in energy efficiency and clean energy technologies.

Fossil-fuel reserves - especially oil, but also natural gas and coal – are ultimately finite natural resources. Together with greater energy efficiency greater reliance on advanced energy technologies and a more sustainable use of traditional energy sources, new and renewable sources of energy will have to make a greater contribution to the future energy-supply mix if the rising global energy demand is to be met, and if energy costs, which are often projected to rise considerably in the future, are to remain at affordable levels. Demand for energy is expected to triple in the next thirty years with alternative energy anticipated to cover the gap. Solar energy is emerging as an investment opportunity globally and its use is projected to grow by 40 percent for next five years.

In 2005, the Malaysian Government, under the support from the United Nation Development Programme (UNDP) and Global Environment Facility (GEF) has created the Malaysian Building Integrated Photovoltaic (MBIPV) with the target to implement Grid Connected PV installation in Malaysia.

Under this successful programme, the MBIPV team, under Pusat Tenaga Malaysia (now Malaysia Green Technology Corporation), has put into effect various subsidies and incentives programme to promote the usage of PV in Malaysia. Working together with the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KETTHA), the team has formulated the Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) programme which is a policy mechanism designed to accelerate investment in renewable energy technologies.

This widely successful programme has been implemented in over 50 countries around the world as of 2011.

The FiT is a programme that allows renewable energy producer to sell back the 'green' energy they produce to the utility grid at a premium rate. The government will facilitate a long term energy purchase contract between the energy producer and the utility company (think IPP!). Anyone is eligible to participate in the FiT programme which can include homeowners, business owners, farmers, as well as private investors.
