Solar & Photovoltaics: Energy concept & planning security for B2C from B2B - Xpert.Solar - Konrad Wolfenstein

I have worked in the field of photovoltaics for over 10 years and in the field of logistics for over 15 years. As an SSP (more about this here: Structure Service Provider ), I have always been intensively involved with autonomous power supply in industry.

In the industry and trade sector, Amazon in particular has excelled in setting up photovoltaic systems. It was much less about protecting the environment, but rather about maintaining the market position through the expansion of solar energy and expanding market shares compared to the dormant competition.

More about it here:

• CO₂ neutrality with photovoltaics – Learn from Amazon Logistics

Personnel and energy costs are generally the biggest “problem areas” in companies. In logistics, there are also shipping and fulfillment costs, which accounted for almost 30% at Amazon in 2019.

With the expansion of automation and autonomous power supply, which brings with it the further advantage of future CO₂ neutrality, Amazon is trying to reduce these costs “profitably”.

The example of Amazon shows very clearly that the focus is not on reducing electricity costs, but rather on a strategy or an energy concept that logically includes “saving electricity costs” as a sub-area.

The nice side effect here is that you are working for the environment and against climate change, and you can even earn money with it. But the fact is that everything together protects independence from price fluctuations and unexpected risks.

In addition to cost reduction, planning security for industry and trade is a fundamental factor from which private households can also learn and benefit:

Planning security is always based on forward-looking measures that, in the best case, reduce costs (or make money) and in the worst case scenario (in the worst case) keep production and operations alive in the event of failures.

Companies do not plan spontaneously, but rather develop and act on strategies based on preliminary analyses. The larger a company, the more complex the structures and impacts that have to be taken into account. It's about:

➡️ Maximum planning security

➡️ Risk minimization

Unfortunately, in times of Amazon and Co., it is very common for many people to only choose the cheapest option. “Buy nice, buy twice,” says the Englishman – a statement that contains more truth than many people believe.

“There is hardly anything in this world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who are guided only by price become the just prey of such machinations. It is unwise to pay too much, but it is even worse to pay too little. If you pay too much you will lose some money, that's all. On the other hand, if you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the item you bought cannot do its intended job. The law of economics prohibits getting a lot of value for little money. If you accept the lowest offer, you will have to add something for the risk you are taking. And if you do that, you’ll have enough money to pay for something better.”

John Ruskin. English social reformer. 1819-1900

Albert Einstein: “If it costs nothing, it is worth nothing.”

It is said to have been Albert Einstein, a native of Ulm and Swabia, who once remarked that what costs nothing is worth nothing.

At the same time, this also means: In Germany, the customer not only looks for and checks the product, but also values ​​the trust and integrity of the seller and service provider.

The differences are most noticeable between Germany and Poland. While in Poland price and service are almost synonymous, in Germany the service is particularly important.

Service means not only advice and support, but also performance as well as pre- and after-sales for services and products.

This refers to the services before the sale (customer discussions and on-site visits) as well as further contact and help after the sale.

The buyer is not only looking for trust in the product, but also in the advisor, seller and service provider.

Private households do not plan spontaneously, but rather value a well-thought-out solution that suits them. It's about:

➡️ High security

➡️ Low risk

Join in:

✅ Save electricity costs

✅ Become more independent

✅ Protect the environment

✅ Earn money

It is important to be well informed when choosing a photovoltaic system. There are many factors that need to be considered before choosing a particular model. First you have to determine the size of the system. Depending on how much space is available on the roof and how much electricity is required, you can find out the right size of the system. The type of mounting system must also be taken into account. Depending on which system is used, the price may vary.

You also have to make sure that all the necessary components are included in the photovoltaic system. These include, among other things, special control devices and inverters that make it possible to feed electricity into the grid. It may also be necessary to add additional components to make the system more efficient. Finally, you should also check whether the chosen photovoltaic system complies with the applicable standards.
