I-United Kingdom idlala ngokulingana nomakhelwane bayo abaningi base-Europe uma kukhulunywa nge-solar kodwa izimpawu zakamuva bezithembisa kakhulu futhi izwe lisalokhu libheke phambili ekuguqukeni kwelanga.
Emuva ngo-2013, uNdunankulu wase-UK ngaleso sikhathi uDavid Cameron wathembisa ukuthi "uzosusa i-crap eluhlaza" ayesola ukuthi ibiza kakhulu kubakhokhi bezikweletu. Uhulumeni wakhe wabe eseqeda uhlelo lweGreen Deal ngo-2015, wasusa izibonelelo zokufaka amaphaneli elanga. Ngokuhambisana nokuba buthaka kwentela yokuphakelayo yase-UK enikezwa kubathengi, izinga lokufakwa kwemisebe yelanga ezweni lonke lehla ngenkathi amanye amazwe ase-Europe enza inqubekelaphambili emangalisayo.
Nakuba lokhu kuvimbela izinga lokutholwa kwelanga e-United Kingdom ngaleso sikhathi, izinyathelo ezinhle ziye zathathwa eminyakeni yamuva nje futhi umbono wokuhlala ugesi welanga ezweni uhle kakhulu.
Isibonelo, uhlelo lwe-Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), olwethulwa ngo-2020, luqinisekisa ukuthi abanikazi bezindlu banxeshezelwa ngendlela efanele ngogesi onqwabelene baphinde bangene kugridi futhi bathumele isignali ecacile mayelana nendlela yezwe yohambo.
Ngo-2022, uhulumeni wase-UK wayisusa intela ye-value-added (VAT) kumaphaneli elanga namabhethri, phakathi kwezinye izinto zokonga amandla. Lokho kuholele ekwenyukeni kokuthatha ilanga kulo lonke elase-United Kingdom njengoba izindleko zokufakwa zehlile futhi izikhathi zokukhokha ze-solar zifinyeziwe. Iziphathimandla zamazinga embonini i-Microgeneration Certification Scheme yabika ukufakwa kwe-solar yasekhaya engaphezu kuka-180,000 ngo-2023 - izinga elingaphezu kuka-15,000 ngenyanga okwenza u-2023 waba unyaka wokuqopha umlando welanga ezweni.
I-United Kingdom isalokhu iyi-European outlier yokwamukelwa kwelanga futhi isemuva kakhulu lapho ingaba khona; amaphesenti angu-6 kuphela amakhaya ase-UK anelanga, uma kuqhathaniswa nama-25% eNetherlands, ama-22% eBelgium, kanye no-9% eSwitzerland nase-Austria. Ukubeka lokhu esimweni, ngonyaka odlule, kuphela u-4.7% kagesi wase-UK owenziwe nge-solar, uma kuqhathaniswa no-31.9% wegesi kanye no-31.5% ovela emoyeni, ngokwezibalo ze-National Grid.
Nakuba kusobala ukuthi kusekuningi okusazokwenziwa, izinzuzo eziphoqelelayo zelanga zikwenza kube yindaba yokuthi, hhayi uma, i-United Kingdom izoshaja izinga layo lokufakwa kwelanga.
Uma sibhekene nemakethe yamandla eshintshashintshayo kanye nezikweletu zamandla ezimba eqolo, i-solar yokuhlala inikeza izinzuzo zemvelo, ukuphepha kwamandla, nokonga ngokwezimali okukhulu. Isinyathelo esixhaswe nguhulumeni i-Energy Saving Trust ilinganisele ukuthi umndeni ojwayelekile onesistimu yelanga engu-3.5 kWp ungangena phakathi kwe-GBP 135 ($169) kanye ne-GBP 360 ngonyaka ezikweletini ngamanani amanje e-Energy Price Cap.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, izithiyo ezisele ze-bureaucratic ngokungangabazeki zingalungiswa ngesivinini esilinganiselwe kanye nobulula. E-Otovo, yingakho sigxile ekwandiseni i-United Kingdom yonkana. I-Solar izowina yonke indawo futhi i-United Kingdom iyafana.
Ukwenza lula ilanga
Izinyathelo ezimbalwa ezinomthelela kakhulu ezingase zisetshenziswe ukusekela amandla elanga kulo lonke elase-United Kingdom zicacile kubo bonke. Thatha ukuxhumana kwegridi, okungaholela ekubambezelekeni okuthatha izinyanga kubathengi. Ukumisa inqubo yokufaka isicelo kubo bonke abaqhubi benethiwekhi yokusabalalisa ugesi, ukwenza izinsiza ezengeziwe zitholakale, kanye nokwenza lula inqubo yezimvume kungaba nomthelela onenzuzo enkulu.
Uma amasistimu esexhunyiwe, futhi njengoba ukwanda kokuthatha ilanga kuholela ekukhiqizeni amandla aluhlaza engeziwe kulo lonke elase-United Kingdom, ukuthengisa amandla ayinsalela emuva kugridi kuzoba ithuluzi elinamandla kunqolobane yezwe nethuba elikhangayo labasebenzisi abasha belanga.
Nakuba i-United Kingdom ine-SEG, idinga abahlinzeki bakagesi ukuba bakhokhele abantu ngabanye ngogesi onekhabhoni ephansi abawuthumela kuGridi Kazwelonke, isisusa sabathengi sokuba benze kanjalo silinganiselwe ngenxa yesivumelwano esibi esinikezwa lamandla, uma kuqhathaniswa namanani amanje kagesi. Kubahlinzeki bamandla bamanje, i-Octopus Energy kuphela enikeza idili elikhangayo nelifanele kubathengi ukwenza lokhu. Lapha, izinyathelo zingathathwa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isivumelwano esinikezwa abathengi sinamandla kubo bonke abahlinzeki.
Izindleko ze-solar zingahle zibeke abantu abaningi. Yingakho u-Otovo wethula ukubhaliswa kwe-solar e-United Kingdom ngo-March 2024, ngaphandle kokukhokha kancane nokuzibophezela ekunakekeleni ukufakwa nokugcinwa kwamaphaneli, okuza newaranti yeminyaka engu-20. Amakhasimende azoba ngabanikazi bamaphaneli ngokuqondile ngemva kweminyaka engu-20 — kanye nebhethri ngemva kweminyaka engu-10. Bangakwazi futhi ukuzithenga nganoma yisiphi isikhathi phakathi nohlelo lokukhokha.
Kuzo zonke ezinye izimakethe zethu zaseYurophu, amakhasimende akhangwa ekhonweni lokuvuna izinzuzo zesola kusukela osukwini lokuqala ngaphandle kokulondoloza isamba esikhulu sokufaka isistimu. Kalula nje, ukuguquguquka okuhlinzekwa ngoxhaso lwezimali ngokuqashisa kuzoba yinguquko enkulu ekukhuleni kwamanje kwe-United Kingdom ekuthathweni kwelanga okuhlala kulo - njengoba sekubonakala kuzo zonke izimakethe zethu zaseYurophu.
Siyaqiniseka ukuthi ukutholwa kwelanga e-United Kingdom kuzokhula ngokusekelwa okufanele. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lezi zinyathelo ezishiwo ngenhla aziyona inselele ngokwemvelo noma azimbi eqolo kumkhokhintela. Kude nokuba yibhola lepolitiki, i-solar yokuhlala, uma kukhona, kuwumgomo ovulekile.
Yebo, ukukhetha okwenziwa yinoma ngubani owakha uhulumeni olandelayo kuzothinta izinga lokufakwa kwelanga e-United Kingdom ngesikhathi esifushane. Nokho, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, umzila omuhle wamandla elanga awunakuphikiswa, njengoba imizi eminingi ithola izinzuzo zezezimali nokuvikeleka kwamandla, ingasaphathwa eyokufaneleka kwemvelo esobala. Sibheke ngabomvu ukudlala indima yethu e-Otovo ekwenzeni ilanga libe ngobuningi kulo lonke elase-United Kingdom.
