Green Gazette- Episode 1
Zero Carbon is a customised solar solution provider in Pakistan. We offer our services to the expanded and multiple client base in the country. This newsletter shall be your window to our efforts to make Pakistan carbon-free. Let's get started!??
Zero Carbon offers customised and turnkey solar systems installations with after-sale service to industries and corporates across Pakistan. With the vision of a greener Pakistan, we at Zero Carbon are working with our technology partners and suppliers closely and efficiently. In this article, you will get an insight into who we are, what we do, and the footprint that we have developed so far.??
Get Introduced to Zero Carbon?
We are Pakistan's first renewable solar solution provider dedicated to combating the adversities of climate change. We provide clean, reliable, and resilient alternative energy solutions to corporates, industries, and households.???
Zero Carbon is an authorised provider of customised solar solutions under the C-1 category duly issued by the Alternate Energy Development Board (AEDB). Until now, we have installed more than 80MWs in the last three years, which has resulted in the reduction of 105,242 tonnes of carbon footprints from Pakistan. At the same time, it has successfully generated 193,330,116kWh of consumable green energy.???
?We are thankful to our technology partners for standing tall with us. A brief introduction is available below.????
Our Pride - Our Partners??
Zero Carbon never compromises on the quality and scope of service. Therefore, we have partnered with the best and most upgraded, quality-oriented technological suppliers and solution makers, which include :?
Working Mechanism Zero Carbon Follows??
Quality service is our prime motive for making Pakistan carbon-free. To achieve this goal, it is essential to ensure that every detail is noticed during the installation process and that the solar system proves to work at its optimal efficiency level. To achieve the ultimate goal of customer satisfaction, Zero Carbon follows a series of interconnected steps to ensure that all clients get the best value for their investment.???
Initiating from a detailed site audit, the experts at Zero Carbon analyse the physical location, either a rooftop or a garden, where the sunlight is available in adequate quantity. This analysis also determines the strength of the structure with the capacity to get the best results. In addition to all this information, the experts also calculate the average energy consumption of a particular client to see which capacity would cater to our customer's power requirements.???
The next stage is to design the appropriate, turnkey customised solar system according to the requirement details gathered in the site audit. This step calls in the services of our partners to ensure that the quality is maintained in designing the best-fitted and curated energy alternative for our clients.???
Solar systems are only installed after fulfilling the authoritative and legal requirements. Therefore, Zero Carbon fulfils the criteria to get legal permits from related authorities.???
Once allowed, the on-site installation is led by Zero Carbon's experienced technical leads and professionals, ensuring timely and effective installation according to the signed agreement.?
Further procedures include grid mixing with the on-grid solar system for optimal operations and net metering facilitations. After-sale service consists of the app and portal-based monitoring on the client's end. The professionals at Zero Carbon are available round the clock for maintenance procedures.???
Turnkey Industrial Solutions??
Pakistan is sadly facing energy crises on various levels. Frequent power cuts are one issue, and random and rigorous increments in power tariffs of essential electricity utilities are another destructive pattern. This entire situation is enough to break the backbone of our industries in all sectors; the cost increase discourages the compatriots' entrepreneurial spirit. The adverse effects of the rise in electric tariffs are discussed here .???
To support the industry of Pakistan, it is high time to switch to low-cost, uninterrupted, and renewable energy sources. Solar energy is Pakistan's best and most optimal renewable energy alternative due to its ideal location and access to the free energy resource- sunlight.???
Zero Carbon understands the pain of closing industrial operations in the country. Therefore, we provide tailored, customised solar energy solutions to industries nationwide. Our innovative industrial solar solutions are accompanied by proven digital technologies to help your industrial organisations become more agile, data-driven, and efficient. The industrial projects we have completed are mentioned below in this article.???
Turnkey Corporate Solutions??
The corporate sector is the primary power consumer in the country. You can understand this by analysing the working hours x working days of a week. The typical corporate day starts at 9 am and lasts till 5 pm for five days a week. The number of appliances and IT technologies running in every corporate office creates a huge carbon footprint. Therefore, it is essential and urgent for the corporate world to shift to renewable and eco-friendly power sources and energy supplies.???
Zero Carbon offers tailored, turnkey solar solutions for the corporate sector in Pakistan. Our customised solar energy solutions are ideal for educational institutions, commercial buildings, and offices. Off-day power production can be sold to the national grid through net metering to balance the power these bodies consume during working days.???
Zero Carbon Holds Projects Under the Belt??
Zero Carbon has installed more than 80MWs in the last three years. We are proud to serve the corporate and industrial entities in Pakistan. We also have a large residential clientele. We shall be discussing it in some later articles. For now, the corporate and industrial clients are presented below.??
Solar Energy Helps Businesses to Attain Energy Sustainability?
According to National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) 2021 annual report , Pakistan generates 63% of its power from thermal sources (fossil fuels), 25% from hydro, 6.5 from nuclear energy and only 5.4% from renewable energy. This renewable energy is a combination of solar, wind, and biomass.??
According to World Bank, by 2030, Pakistan should urgently increase its solar and wind energy to at least 30% of its total electricity-producing capacity, or about 24,000 Megawatts.?
Furthermore, according to the research, electricity consumption in the main economic sectors will rise to 38.08% in domestic consumption and will grow to 37.23% in the industrial sector by 2050.??
Industries and corporates can minimise their adverse environmental impact and decrease their carbon footprint by converting to solar energy. This can favourably affect their brand's reputation and image, demonstrating their dedication to social and environmental responsibility. Switching to solar energy is an excellent method for organisations to meet their corporate social responsibility goals of contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.??
Additionally, a lot of enterprises in Pakistan are now forced to satisfy sustainability goals established by the administration and outside organisations. By using solar energy, businesses can achieve these goals and contribute to a cleaner, greener Pakistan.?
What to Expect in the Next Episode??
These are some of the corporate and industrial bodies where Zero Carbon has installed tailored solar solutions. In the next episode, we shall initiate each case study individually.???
