Abstract

The use of electricity has become significant in modern society as it serves various purposes. However, power interruptions are unavoidable and have a negative impact on people's daily activities, particularly in schools and industries, because electricity is used in almost every aspect of life. Specifically, a lack of electric energy can result in lower productivity because it incapable workers of properly performing their duties. This feasibility study proposes continuous energy supply to offices and other important building facilities for the institution’s administrative building in Bacolor, Pampanga. The analysis involves explicitly identifying the equipment and other materials used in the electrical energy synergy plan, objective evaluation of the initial investment, calculating the payback period, and determining the return on investment. The design used in this research is a grid-tied system with solar energy as the primary source, utility as secondary, and Gen-set for a backup power system in case the utility fails. This study involves assessing site suitability, solar access, shadowing considerations, and other factors. The results obtained 120 pieces of solar panels of 500 Wp each, a 60kW inverter, and a 100 kVA generator were calculated to run the system for the total demand of 57.2125 kW of the administrative building. The payback period is 3.97 years and a return of investment is P 13,744,020 for 25 years. If implemented, the project will solve the institution's electric power problem at the Administrative Building by providing stable, sufficient, and dependable 24-hour electricity.
