Ngaphandle kwezibonelelo ezibonakalayo zokunceda umhlaba, amandla elanga banokuba nomtsalane kubanini bamakhaya abadiniweyo kukuhlawula ingalo kunye nomlenze kwityala labo lombane inyanga nenyanga. Ngenxa yokuba ukufaka indlu ngeepaneli zelanga kuza neendleko ezinkulu ngaphambili, nangona kunjalo, ngaba oko kuyenzeka ngokubonakalayo ngokwezezimali? Ngaba amandla elanga enyanisweni angahlawula?
Kubaqalayo, kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba izibonelelo-kunye neendleko-zokufaka i-solar (ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-photovoltaic) iinkqubo zamandla ziya kwahluka kwindlu ngendlu. Iyavakala, akunjalo? Indlu yakho inokuba nkulu kakhulu kunendlu yam. Indlu yam inokuba kwindawo apho amandla elanga afumaneka ngokulula kwaye ke ngexabiso elininzi. Izinto eziguquguqukayo ziyaqhubeka kwaye ziqhubeke.
Ngokubanzi, nangona kunjalo, zikhona izibonelelo ezimbalwa zokufaka amandla elanga: iyathoba ityala lakho lombane, icuthe ikhabhoni yakho kwaye, kuxhomekeke kwindawo ohlala kuyo, inokuthi inyuse ixabiso lakho lasekhaya.
Kwicala elisezantsi, kuya kufuneka ulahle ipenny entle ngaphambili ukuze uthenge izixhobo kwaye uhlawule ufakelo. Umbuzo omkhulu, ewe, ngowokuba ingaba ulondolozo olunokubakho luyakugqitha na inkcitho-okanye, ngakumbi, ingaba uza kukwazi ukugcina imali (okanye wenze imali, ukuba ixabiso lendlu yakho liyenyuka kakhulu) tyala imali kumandla elanga.

Ixabisa malini ukufaka amandla elanga?
Masithethe ngamanani, akunjalo? Inkqubo yamandla elanga kwindlu ephakathi e-U.S. ingaqhuba naphi na ukusuka kwi-15,000 ukuya kwi-40,000 yeedola . Ukuba la manani akunika ityala elibi lokuothusa, ungakhathazeki okwangoku-iinkampani ezininzi zikuvumela ukuba uqeshise izixhobo, ezinciphisa ngokumangalisayo iindleko zakho zangaphambili. Kodwa ukuba uthatha isigqibo sokuthenga ngokuthe ngqo, unokulungela ukufumana izikhuthazo zikarhulumente ezinciphisa iindleko zenkqubo. Kuwo onke amazwe angama-50, ukufaka inkqubo yamandla elanga kulungele umninikhaya ukuba Ikhredithi yeRhafu yaMandla oHlaziyiweyo yokuhlala . Inkuthazo yerhafu ikuvumela ukuba ubange ikhredithi yeepesenti ezingama-30 zenkcitho efanelekileyo kwinkqubo yakho kwaye, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, iyanceda ukucutha ixesha eliza kuthatha ukuba ulondolozo lwakho lilingane okanye ligqithe kutyalo-mali lwakho lokuqala.
Gcina Ncamathisela Bona eminye imifanekiso (Ityala lemifanekiso: Iprojekthi yeSunroof )
Ukuba uluhlobo oluthandayo izixhobo zokubala ezikwi-intanethi, uyakonwaba ngakumbi xa ufunda ukuba uGoogle uze nenombolo encinci yokunikezela ngenani ukuze akunike uqikelelo lweendleko nolondolozo onokulindela ngelanga ekhayeni lakho . Ebizwa Iprojekthi yeSunroof , isixhobo sixhomekeke kwimephu yomoya yesisombululo esiphakamileyo ukubala uphahla lwamandla akho elanga ophahla. Ngokwenjineli kaGoogle uCarl Elkin, isiza sibonisa ukuba ukukhanya kwelanga kubetha kangakanani eluphahleni lwakho kulo nyaka, kuthathelwa ingqalelo izinto ezifana nokuqhelaniswa nophahla, umthunzi kwimithi nakwizakhiwo ezikufuphi, kunye neepateni zemozulu zalapha.
Itekhnoloji… iphambene, huh?
Xa ndifaka idilesi yasekhaya kwiProjekthi ye-Sunroof, ikhupha umfanekiso womoya oshushu wesitalato sam oko kukuthi, ukuba sithembekile, siyathandeka kakhulu kwinkcukacha zaso. Inyani yokuba uphahla lwam luqaqambile mthubi kwaye indikhomba kwinto yokuba ukukhanya kwelanga kuninzi, kodwa indawo iyayichaza, nayo.
Ngokuqikelela kwabo, uphahla lwam lufumana iiyure ezili-1,606 zokukhanya kwelanga okusetyenziswayo ngonyaka. Ngokusekwe kwimodeli ye-3D yophahla lwam kunye nemithi ekufutshane, amanani esiza ndinama-564 eenyawo zophahla ezifumanekayo ukuba zifakelwe iipaneli zelanga-kwaye bacebisa ngenkqubo yeekhilowathi eziyi-8, ezakugubungela iipesenti ezingama-40 zokusetyenziswa kombane kumakhaya ethu.
Ithetha ukuthini yonke le nto kumgca ongezantsi kwaye, ithiyori, yeyakho? Oko, ewe, inkqubo yamandla elanga inokuhlawula.
Ngenkqubo egubungela iipesenti ezingama-40 zokusetyenziswa kombane kwindlu yam, izibonelelo zam zeminyaka engama-20 zokusebenzisa le nkqubo ziya kuba ngama-37,000 eedola. Ukuba iindleko zangaphambili zenkqubo emva kokukhuthazwa kwerhafu zifikelela kwi-17,000 yeedola kwaye siyikhuphile loo nto kwizibonelelo, ukonga kweminyaka engama-20 kuphuma ku- $ 20,000. Ngamanye amagama, kungathatha iminyaka elithoba ukuhlawula olo tyalo mali lokuqala.
Usenokucinga, ewe, kodwa oku kuya kuhlawulwa kuphela ukuba ndihleli ekhaya iminyaka esithoba. Kwimeko apho unokukhululeka xa usiva ukuba uphando olwenziwe liSebe lezaMandla ngo-2015 lubonakalisile abathengi bonwabile ukuhlawula ngaphezulu kumakhaya aneenkqubo zamandla elanga .
Olu phononongo, olwalukhankanywe yiThe New York Times, luveze ukuba abathengi bazimisele ukuhlawula ipremiyamu eyi- $ 15,000 yekhaya elinenkqubo yombane welanga, xa kuthelekiswa nekhaya elingenalo elinye. Indawo ekukuphela kwayo kukuba ezi zinto zifunyanisiweyo zisebenza kwiinkqubo ezizezabanikazi, ezingabolekiswanga.
Ke nangona kungekho mgaqo onzima nokhawulezayo wokuba ngaba iinkqubo zamandla elanga ziya kuhlawula kuzo zonke iimeko ezizodwa, ngokuqinisekileyo banokukugcinela imali kwangoko kwityala lakho lombane nokuba uyathenga okanye uyaqeshisa. Kwaye ukuba unemali eyinkunzi yokwenza utyalomali olupheleleyo ngaphambili, unokuba ujonge ekuhlawuleni inkqubo engaphantsi kweshumi leminyaka kwaye ukonwabele ukonga okukhulu kunye ne-ROI enkulu kwixesha elide.
