BUSINESS PLAN PRESENTATION

2. Solar Powered Data Center
FIRST LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT DATA CENTER IN THE PHILIPPINES

3. Why Go Solar?
• Countermeasure for impending power shortage
in PH by 2016 (or earlier)
• Savings on electricity costs as PH has the
highest utility rate in Asia
• Lower deployment and maintenance costs due
to Net Metering Law
• Low Carbon Footprint Operations

4. Looming Power Shortage

5. Increasing Yearly Demand for
Power

6. High Cost of Regular Power

7. Net Metering Implications
• No need for batteries.
– Reduces Total Solar installations by 30%
– Reduces Maintenance costs by additional 50%

8. Low Carbon Footprint
• Actually lowers
Operational Costs
• Helps with Climate
Change
• PR Value in Marketing
Promotions

9. Capacity Requirements
• Current Consumption is 28.9 kWh
• Forecast is growth of 20% year on year
• Total Solar kWh needed :
– 28.9 * 2 * (1.2)5
– Approx 150 kWh capacity

10. Sample Deployment Costs
• Phase 1 (30kWh) PHP 3.24 million
• Phase 2 (60 kWh) PHP 6.50 million
• Phase 3 (90 kWh) PHP 9.75 million
• Total for all 3 phases:
PHP 19.49 million or USD 453,500

11. Financial Plan
• For Phase 1 (Principal: PHP 3.24 million)
– Yearly Interest Payment (3.5%): PHP 113,400.00
– Yearly Yield on Solar : PHP 560,000.00
– Yearly net savings: PHP 446,000.00
• ROI of 7.26 years vs Solar Installation life of 20-
25 years

12. Resource Requirements
• South facing roof space for 150 kWh
• Net Metering Inverters
• Panasonic Solar Panels with highest
efficiencies
• Capital Outlay to be disbursed in tranches
aligned with phase rollout

13. Risks and Rewards
• Typhoons may destroy solar panels.
(Mitigated by taking insurance coverage and
extended warranties)
• Power rates may go down. (Unlikely)
• Power rates may go up. (Likely)
• Operational even during prolonged power
outage due to triple source of redundant power
(Utility, Solar, Diesel Generator)
