Therefore, it has become the first company offering a flexible panel within the Emirate of Dubai, where an ambitious project is being developed since last October.
Not in vain, Etihad ESCO,the public company created by DEWAto promote energy efficiency in this Emirates region, has deposited its trust on TSO’s expertise for the design of the solar photovoltaic power plant which will feed solar power to the Museum of the Future. This power plant will be integrated on the marquees of the Emirates Towers’ parking lot.
The Museum of the Future, currently under construction, will be unique in the world due to its design and innovation, which will set a turning point in the History of Architecture, and which, thanks to TSO, will be provided with an instantaneous self-consumption solar power plant.
DEWA has already issued the necessary permits to begin, within the next days, the installation works of this innovative solar power plant integrated in theEmirates Towers’ parking lot marquees, area where the Museum of the Future is located. With no visual impact, the solar plant will generate 282 MWh yearly and avoid some 170 Tn of CO2 emissions per year, equivalent to about 9,400 trees.

Clínica Beiman CPM Aljarafe has signed the first PPA into healthy sector and joins to energy solar self-consumption with TSO. You can check out here the media that posted it.
Last October 30th, TSO, The South Oracle participated in the Agro-industry efficiency seminar, held at CADE Las Cabezas de San Juan (Seville). The event was organized by Andalucía Emprende, Junta de Andalucía foundation, and has for objective raising awareness among businessmen as the urgency of taking actions for energy efficiency to meet required CO2 emissions reduction.

As, last may, in similar previous event in Estepa (Seville), TSO has newly participated in this seminar with a presentation of the energy services contracts added value by its CEO, Antonio Calo, who spoke about the existing models, defined the guaranteed savings, and their set up. Next, the CEO of TSOkept talking about the advantages for companies to take actions for energy efficiency and explained ECO20 certification seal. This quality certificate differentiates those companies powered by solar energy, making them relevant from their competitors.

The clinic will have a solar plant of 41.6 kWpfor instant self-consumption, which will be installed over its 200 square meter rooftop space with the ultralight flexible solar panel, exclusive of TSO.
This installation will cover 89.35% of health center’s annual electricity day hours consumption and will reduce its annual emissions of CO2 in 28.600 kg, reaching an accumulated decrease of 673.700 kg throughout its estimated useful life.
Through PPA contracts,TSO offers their customers a non-risk way of financing while it takes care of all the bureaucracy system, engineering, installation to start-up the photovoltaic solar plant. In addition, the customer fixes his electricity price for 10 years, independently to electricity market prices, and will benefit from 100% of the savings.
Other advantages of TSOPPA contract is the seal ECO20® , which certifies that the healthcare center is powered with electricity from the sun.
Similarly, on December in 2017, The South Oracle was pioneer in the photovoltaic market with the first PPA contract into Spanish agro-food sector. The beneficiary company was Patatas Arrebola Group, a Sevillian firm, which now has an instant self-consumption solar photovoltaic plant of 41.28 kWp, with an annual production of 50,000 kWh. (It reduces 26 tons of CO2 emissions per year).
Last June, the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities granted funding to TSO -The South Oracle- to research in integrated solar urban plants and EV charging stations. To develop such project, TSO is working along with the National Renewable Energy Centre of Spain (CENER-CIEMAT).TSO awarded amount, 406.817 Euros, is to be invested in a 3-year R&D line in PSU patent, unique in Spain. In this path, TSO will influence an Investigation, Development and Innovation program fighting for Social Challenges, which objective is to search for social, economic and technological solutions to problems in our country, through constructing scientific knowledge and the qualify investigation.
TSO is a world pioneer in the solar photovoltaics sector thanks to its ultralight flexible solar panel, which enables versatile solar plants that produce low-cost clean electricity on all surface. With PSU patent, TSOconverts any urban element into a solar photovoltaic generator, fostering cities and municipalities into “prosumers”.
The solar self-consumption allows to produce a part (or the whole) of the electric energy for its direct consumption in our house or business, through solar panels. Since October 9, 2015, with the publication of Royal Decree 900/2015, this type of green energy production, and its electrical consumption, is a legal and profitable alternative, while reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
There are isolated self-consumption installations that are not connected to the mains. However, most of the facilities are connected. In this case, the owner consumes his own green energy produced by solar panels. The excess is poured directly into the net as well, if more energy is required than that produced by the photovoltaic system, it is acquired from the electrical grid. With this modality, you optimize your electricity consumption, being able to save up to 50% in the light bill, besides having access to the electric 24 hours a day.
Although solar energy is based on the use of solar radiation, significant savings are obtained on the bill of light even in less sunny places than the south of Spain, and also on cloudy and rainy days, as the panels are still working.In fact, Germany has more photovoltaic installations than Spain.
Betting on self-consumption through solar energy means that, part of the energy consumed, is generated by solar panels installed in your business or home. This is transformed into a savings in the electricity bill, a reduction in CO2 emissions and thus contributes to create a greener world. So far, solar panels used to be installed on the roof, but TSO’s ultra-light flexible solar panels also allow for a facade installation.
Solar self-consumption in companies
Solar self-consumption is suitable and viable for any type of company or industry.The economic benefit (savings in electricity consumption bills) is more significant in those that concentrate the largest electricity expenditure during the day. The installation of solar panels for self-consumption provides several benefits in small and large companies, hotels and restaurants, farms, cattle ranches, as well as in schools, business centers and offices. In this way, the economic saving and the lowering of the energy costs is only one point in favor of the solar self-consumption. By creating and consuming green energy, we minimize CO2 emissions, helping to preserve our planet.
In addition, society is increasingly aware of renewable energies, and demands greater environmental commitment from companies.
With the installation of the TSO Solar Kit, you obtain the certification “ECO20 ®: Made with solar energy” which guarantees that during the production process much of the energy used is 100% of solar origin, thus attesting that the production in your company is done with solar energy and therefore adding a differential value to your business. Betting on solar energy increases corporate social responsibility and improves the brand image.
Self-consumption at home
Solar consumption also increases the value of its property by 4% compared to other similar properties. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Even estimates this increase, and according to statistical data, a typical single-family house with a solar self-consumption facility of 2 KW will increase its value by €10,600. Even real estate agencies confirm that a home with solar consumption is sold more quickly.
Self-consumption in neighboring communities
Spain is one of the European countries where more people reside in blocks of flats. Currently 66% of the Spanish population lives in neighboring communities. To meet the energy needs of the common areas of these buildings, the installation of solar panels and self-consumption are an ideal solution to lower the cost of light.
Despite all the advantages of self-consumption and the hours of sunshine that we enjoyed in Spain, in August 2016, only 75 photovoltaic installations of self-consumption were recorded, that to this day have risen to the figure of 351, all of small supplies of power inferior to 10kW in the Register of self-consumption. Remember, solar self-consumption is legal and profitable.
If you are interested in solar consumption, we advise you on which installation is best for your case, we inform you about the possible incentives and subsidies available and we take care of all the procedures and the technical installation. All this so you can produce your own green energy, with your TSO Solar photovoltaic Kit.
