Njengoba imboni yelanga iqhubeka ikhula futhi ingena ezimakethe nasezifundeni ezintsha, izinkampani ezithengisa futhi zifaka amasistimu elanga zinesibopho sokubhekana nezinselelo ezishintshayo zamakhasimende kanye nokuhambisana nobuchwepheshe obusha.Abafaki bathatha izinsizakalo ezintsha ngokuphelele ezihlobene nobuchwepheshe bezinsiza, ukugcinwa kwesistimu nokulungiswa kwendawo yokusebenza njengoba benquma ukuthi yini ezodingeka ukuze banikeze amakhasimende elanga emakethe ethuthukayo.
Ngakho-ke, inkampani yelanga kufanele inqume kanjani uma sekuyisikhathi sokungena enkonzweni entsha?U-Eric Domescik, umsunguli kanye nomongameli weVuselela Amandla, isifaki selanga esizinze e-Atlanta, e-Georgia, besazi ukuthi kwase kuyisikhathi lapho yena nabasebenzi bakhe babenweba ngokweqile ukuze bahlangabezane nezingcingo ze-operation and maintenance (O&M).
Inkampani isineminyaka eyishumi isebhizinisini.Ngenkathi u-Domescik ekuqaleni enezela izingcingo ze-O&M enqwabeni yakhe yezibopho zansuku zonke, wezwa ukuthi isidingo sasingasingathwanga kahle.Kunoma iyiphi inkambu ehlobene nokuthengisa, ukugcina ubudlelwano kubalulekile futhi kungaholela ekudlulisweni kwebhizinisi elizayo.
"Kungakho bekufanele sikhule ngokwezinto eziphilayo, ukuze sihlangabezane nezidingo zalokho ebesivele sikufezile," kusho uDomescik.
Ukuze unikeze usizo kangcono amakhasimende, i-Renewvia yengeze isevisi ye-O&M eyinikezayo kumakhasimende akhona kanye nalawo angaphandle kwenethiwekhi yayo.Ukhiye wesevisi entsha bekuwukuqasha umqondisi wohlelo lwe-O&M ozinikele ukuthi aphendule lezo zingcingo.
I-Renewvia iphatha i-O&M nethimba langaphakathi eliholwa umqondisi wohlelo u-John Thornburg, ikakhulukazi ezifundazweni eziseNingizimu-mpumalanga, noma lokho u-Domescik akubiza ngokuthi igceke elingemuva lenkampani.Ikhipha inkontileka engaphansi kwe-O&M kochwepheshe abasezifundeni ezingaphandle kwe-Renewvia eduzane.Kodwa uma kunesidingo esanele endaweni ethile, i-Renewvia izocabangela ukuqasha uchwepheshe we-O&M waleso sifunda.
Ukuhlanganisa isevisi entsha kungadinga ukubandakanyeka emaqenjini akhona enkampanini.Esimeni sika-Renewvia, ithimba lezokwakha likhuluma namakhasimende mayelana nezinketho ze-O&M futhi lidlulisela lawo maphrojekthi asanda kufakwa eqenjini le-O&M.
"Ukwengeza insiza ye-O&M, ukuzibophezela okufanele wonke umuntu enkampanini athenge kukho," kusho uDomescik.“Wenza izimangalo ezinesibindi zokuthi uzophendula phakathi nesikhathi esithile futhi usuzoba nemali nezinsiza zokwenza umsebenzi owuthembisile.”
Ukwandisa izinsiza
Ukwengeza isevisi entsha enkampanini kungase kusho ukunwetshwa kwendawo yokusebenza.Ukwakha noma ukuqasha indawo entsha kuwukutshalwa kwezimali okungafanele kuthathwe kalula, kodwa uma izinsizakalo ziqhubeka nokukhula, khona-ke umkhondo wenkampani ungakhula, futhi.Inkampani ye-solar yaseMiami, eFlorida, i-Origis Energy, inqume ukwakha isikhungo esisha esizofaka isevisi entsha yelanga.
I-Solar O&M yanikezwa kusukela ekuqaleni kwa-Origis, kodwa inkampani yayifuna ukuthepha amakhasimende angaba khona enkampani yangaphandle.Ngo-2019, yakhaIzinsizakalo ze-Origis, igatsha elihlukile lenkampani eligxile ngokuqinile ku-O&M.Le nkampani yakha indawo engu-10,000-sq.-ft ebizwa ngokuthi i-Remote Operating Centre (ROC) e-Austin, eTexas, ethumela ochwepheshe be-O&M kuphothifoliyo yama-gigawatt amaningi yamaphrojekthi elanga ezweni lonke.I-ROC ifakwe isofthiwe yokuqapha iphrojekthi futhi izinikele ngokuphelele ekusebenzeni kwe-Origis Services.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi kuwuhlelo lokuziphendukela kwemvelo kanye nokukhula,” kusho uGlenna Wiseman, ohola phambili kwezokukhangisa emphakathini wakwa-Origis.“Iqembu belihlale linakho elikudinga eMiami, kodwa i-portfolio ibikhula futhi siya phambili.Siyasibona isidingo salolu hlobo lwendlela.Kwakungekhona ukuthi: 'Lokhu bekungasebenzi lapha.'Kwakuwukuthi: 'Siya siba sikhulu, futhi sidinga indawo eyengeziwe.'”
Njengo-Renewvia, ukhiye wokunikeza u-Origis futhi aqalise insiza kwakuwukuqasha umuntu ofanele.U-Michael Eyman, umqondisi ophethe we-Origis Services, uchithe iminyaka engu-21 e-US Navy Reserve enza umsebenzi wokulungisa imisebenzi yensimu ekude futhi wabamba izikhundla ze-O&M kwaMaxGen kanye ne-SunPower.
Ukuqasha abasebenzi abadingekayo ukuze benze umsebenzi nakho kubalulekile.U-Origis uqashe abasebenzi abangama-70 ku-ROC kanye nabanye ochwepheshe be-O&M abangama-500 ezweni lonke.U-Eyman uthe u-Origis uletha ochwepheshe abaphezulu ezindaweni ezisebenza ngelanga futhi uqasha ochwepheshe abasha emiphakathini ukuze basize lezo zinhlelo.
“Inselelo enkulu esinayo yimakethe yezemisebenzi, yingakho sibuyela emuva ekuqasheni abantu abafuna umsebenzi,” usho kanje.“Banikeze ukuqeqeshwa, ubanike ukuphila isikhathi eside futhi njengoba sinomzila omude, siyakwazi ukunikeza labo bantu amathuba amaningi futhi sibe nomsebenzi wesikhathi eside ngempela.Sizibona singabaholi kuleyo miphakathi.”
Ukwengeza amasevisi ngale kwe-solar array
Kwesinye isikhathi imakethe yelanga ingafuna isevisi ngaphandle kobuchwepheshe obujwayelekile belanga.Nakuba uphahla lwezindlu luyindawo evamile yokufakwa kwe-solar, akuvamile ukuthi izifaki zelanga nazo zinikeze isevisi yokufulela endlini.
I-Palomar Solar & Roofingyase-Escondido, eCalifornia, yengeza ingxenye yokufulela cishe eminyakeni emithathu edlule ngemva kokuba ithole amakhasimende amaningi ayedinga umsebenzi wophahla ngaphambi kokufakwa kwelanga.
“Besingafuni ngempela ukuqala inkampani yokufulela, kodwa bekubonakala sengathi besihlala sihlangana nabantu abadinga uphahla,” kusho u-Adam Rizzo, uzakwabo wokuthuthukisa ibhizinisi ePalomar.
Ukwenza ukuhlanganisa ukufulela kube lula ngangokunokwenzeka, u-Palomar wafuna ukuhlinzwa okukhona ukuze ajoyine iqembu.UGeorge Cortes wayeseneminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20 enguphahla kule ndawo.Wayenabasebenzi abakhona futhi wayezibambela yena ngokwakhe imisebenzi eminingi yansuku zonke yebhizinisi lakhe lokufulela.U-Palomar waletha u-Cortes kanye nabasebenzi bakhe, wabanikeza izimoto ezintsha zokusebenza futhi wathatha uhlangothi lwebhizinisi lomsebenzi, njengamaholo kanye nemisebenzi yokubhida.
“Ukube asimtholanga uGeorge, angazi noma besizoba nayo yini le mpumelelo esinayo, ngoba bekuzoba yikhanda elibuhlungu kakhulu ukuzama ukukulungisa,” kusho uRizzo.“Sineqembu labadayisi elifunde kahle eliqonda ukuthi lithengiswa kanjani, futhi manje uGeorge kufanele akhathazeke ngokuhlanganisa ukufakwa.”
Ngaphambi kokungeza isevisi yokufulela, u-Palomar wayevame ukuhlangana nokufakwa kwe-solar okungase kungabikho iwaranti yophahla lwekhasimende.Ngophahla lwangaphakathi, inkampani manje inganikeza iziqinisekiso kukho kokubili uphahla kanye nokufakwa kwelanga futhi ihlangabezane naleso sidingo esikhethekile ezingxoxweni zokuthengisa.
Ukufaka ama-roofers enkontilekeni engaphansi kanye nokuxhumanisa amashejuli abo nabafaki be-Palomar kwakuvame ukuba yinkinga futhi.Manje, uphiko lukaPalomar lokufulela luzolungisa uphahla, izifaki zelanga zizokwakha uhlu futhi ophahleni bazobuya bazofaka uphahla.
"Kufanele ungene kukho njengoba senza nge-solar," kusho uRizzo.“Sizokwenza kusebenze noma ngabe sekwenzenjani.Sikholelwa ukuthi lokhu kuyinto efanele ukunikeza amakhasimende ukuthula kwengqondo futhi kufanele nje uzimisele ukugoqana nezibhakela.”
Izinkampani zeSolar zizoqhubeka nokuthuthuka kanye nemakethe ukuze zihlangabezane nezidingo zamakhasimende azo.Ukwandiswa kwesevisi kungenzeka ngokuhlela kahle, ukuqasha ngamabomu futhi, uma kudingeka, nokwandisa umkhondo wenkampani.
