II. S OLAR P HOTOVOLTAIC S YSTEM I NTRODUCTION

The solar photovoltaic (PV) system converts sunlight into electricity. The electricity generated can be
stored, used directly, fed back into grid line, or combined with one or more other electricity generators
or renewable energy sources. Not using any moving parts, solar PV system yields robust and clean
electricity. Consisting of a set of modules, solar PV system flexibly suits a wide range of applications
such as residences, factories, hotels, and resorts.

PV panels mounted on the roof generate DC electricity that is sent to an inverter that converts that DC
electricity into standard 220V/50 Hz AC electricity and ‘synchronizes’ it with the power grid (PLN). Thus,
the power/energy created by the solar modules is simply deducted from the power/energy you
purchase from the power grid (PLN).

With the presence of (reliable) electrical grid (like PLN), we avoid batteries. The grid will work as
“storage” if the power supply from the PV system exceeds the load. With the newly regulated PLN net-
metering, the energy injected to the grid can be taken back during the night time. Therefore, grid-
connected solar power is by far the easiest and most economical way of using solar energy.

IV. T ECHNICAL A PPLICATION AND A NALYSIS

Ian Residence pursues to reduce electricity consumption at high (and even higher) rates. On top of the
electricity consumption reduction efforts, installation of photovoltaic system is becoming interesting to
reduce the electricity bills since a fraction of the electricity consumption will be supplied by the
photovoltaic system. PT. Contained Energy Indonesia (CEI) proposes a preliminary offer to Ian
Residence for the photovoltaic system according to the needs.

IX. C ONCLUSION
We want to create excellent opportunity for you to invest in reducing electricity cost and increasing
your green profile. Our top priority is to deliver economically feasible solution for our customers.

This system has long (warranted) lifetime with very little required maintenance (panels are self-
cleaning by the rain, inverters have no moving parts). Thus it will deliver pretty low electricity
production cost that is fixed for that 25 years lifetime (as opposed to fluctuating, or even increasing
PLN electricity tariff).

The best part: the increasing electricity tariff in the future will lead to more saving, not anxiety. On top
of that, you will reduce carbon emissions—saving the planet.

We hope and trust that this proposal is clear and attractive. We look forward to discussing it in more
detail at your convenience. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or doubts.

Best Regards,
