GoKoval
GoKoval is a trusted solar energy company in Timor-Leste offering solar installation, hybrid systems, off-grid solutions, and battery backup for homes, businesses, schools, and clinics.
In addition, most of Timor-Leste's electricity is generated through costly and polluting diesel generators. Australia's Market Development Facility (MDF) and ITP Renewables conducted an assessment of the potential market for roof-top solar energy systems in Timor-Leste.
1 Energy security is “uninterrupted availability of energy sources at an affordable price”; International Energy Agency. The average payback period for a rooftop PV solar energy system in Timor-Leste is 2.5 years. This is much lower than the global average of 6 to 10 years, due to solar resource and electricity costs:
High electricity costs and readily available solar radiation mean that the average payback period for a rooftop photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system in Timor-Leste is only 1.5 to 3 years instead of the global average of 6-10 years. Transitioning to solar can also help the country meet environmental commitments.
The cost of electricity in Timor-Leste for commercial and industrial consumers is high compared to ASEAN countries. For instance, in Indonesia industrial electricity tariffs are 0.11 USD/kWh, compared to 0.24 USD/kWh in Timor-Leste.
