Imboni entsha yamandla elanga ibonakala ingasebenzi kakhulu kunalokho obekulindelwe, kodwa izikhuthazo zezimali zenza amasistimu elanga abe yisinqumo esihlakaniphile kubathengi abaningi. Eqinisweni, isakhamuzi saseLongboat Key sisanda kugqamisa ikhefu lentela elihlukahlukene kanye nezikweletu ezitholakalayo zokufaka amaphaneli elanga, okuwenza akhange nakakhulu kulabo abacabangela amandla avuselelekayo.
Imboni yelanga ibe yisihloko sengxoxo iminyaka, kunethemba elikhulu lokuthi inamandla okuguqula indlela amakhaya namabhizinisi anikezwa ngayo amandla. Nokho, ukuthuthukiswa kwayo akuzange kusheshe njengoba bekulindelwe ekuqaleni. Noma kunjalo, kunezizathu eziningi zokucabangela ukutshala izimali kusistimu sonozungezilanga, ngezinzuzo zezimali eziyingxenye enkulu yawo.
Esinye sezizathu eziphoqelela kakhulu zokutshala imali kumandla elanga ukutholakala kwezibonelelo zezimali. Kube khona ukusunduza eminyakeni yamuva nje ukukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwamandla avuselelekayo, futhi ngenxa yalokho, ukuphumula kwentela okuhlukahlukene kanye nezikweletu manje kuyatholakala kulabo abakhetha ukufaka ama-solar panel. Lezi zinzuzo zingakwazi ukunciphisa kakhulu izindleko zangaphambili zokuthenga nokufaka isistimu yelanga, ikwenze kube inketho ekhangayo kubathengi.
Isibonelo, uhulumeni wobumbano okwamanje unikeza i-Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), evumela abanikazi bezindlu namabhizinisi ukuthi badonse ingxenye yezindleko zokufaka isistimu sonozungezilanga ezintela zabo zenhlangano. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ohulumeni abaningi bezifundazwe nabasekhaya banikeza ezabo izikhuthazo, ezifana nokukhululwa enteleni yendawo noma izaphulelo zemali zokufaka amaphaneli elanga. Kuhlanganiswe, lezi zinzuzo zezezimali zingaba nomthelela omkhulu ezindlekweni eziphelele zamandla elanga.
Izakhamuzi zaseLongboat Island ezisanda kugqamisa lezi zikhuthazi zigqamise izinzuzo zezomnotho zesikhathi eside zokutshala imali kugesi welanga. Ngokusebenzisa ngokunenzuzo ukukhululwa kwentela okukhona kanye nezikweletu, abanikazi bezindlu abakwazi ukunciphisa ngokuphawulekayo izindleko zangaphambili zokufaka isistimu yelanga, kodwa futhi bajabulele izikweletu eziphansi zamandla esikhathini esizayo. Njengoba izindleko zikagesi ezivamile zikhuphuka kanye namandla okuzimela kwamandla, izinzuzo zezezimali zokusebenzisa amandla elanga ziya ngokuya zicaca.
Ngaphezu kwezinzuzo zezezimali, ukutshala imali kumandla elanga kunezinzuzo eziningi zemvelo. Amaphaneli elanga akhiqiza amandla ahlanzekile, avuselelekayo anciphisa kakhulu i-carbon footprint ehlotshaniswa nemithombo yamandla evamile. Ngokukhetha amandla elanga, abanikazi bezindlu namabhizinisi bangaba neqhaza ekusaseni elisimeme ngenkathi belondoloza imali.
Nakuba imboni yelanga ibonakala ingasebenzi kakhulu kunalokho obekulindelwe, ukutholakala kwezikhuthazo zezezimali kwenza ilanga libe ukukhetha okuhlakaniphile kubathengi abaningi. Ukukhululwa enteleni okuhlukahlukene kanye namakhredithi okufaka amaphaneli elanga anikeza izizathu eziqinile zokuthi abanikazi bezindlu namabhizinisi bashintshele kumandla avuselelekayo. Njengoba abantu abaningi beqaphela izinzuzo zezomnotho nezemvelo zamandla elanga, singase sibone abathengi abaningi ngokwengeziwe beshintshela kumasistimu elanga eminyakeni ezayo.
