The document discusses a startup idea for a small emergency power plant that operates using only solar energy. This would significantly reduce operating costs compared to conventional power plants that rely on fuel or energy inverters that require batteries. Potential issues raised include how the power plant would function on cloudy or rainy days, whether it needs to be outdoors, and the potential cost. The document proposes solutions like creating a mockup and beta product to test performance, getting expert reviews, and distributing initial units for testing before full launch, with the goal of selling 5 plants within 5 months.
1. In my country, we have an energy problem, most people turn to small power plants or an energy
inverter, to solve those problems but their usage means lots of money goes to either gas or batteries
and maintenance.
My start-up idea consist on a small emergency power plant that operates only using solar energy, this
would drastically reduce the amount of money spent on fuel for conventional plants or batteries for an
inverter.
Problems 1- What about when it’s raining or
cloudy? The power plant could also be
1- What about when it’s raining or used with fuel and it will probably even
cloudy? produce more power, but the use costs
2- Does the plant always need to be increase.
outdoors? 2- Does the plant always need to be
3- How much would it cost? Would it be outdoors? No, the plant can be taken
too expensive? indoors but the “ceiling” above it must
be transparent and clear so that the
solar heat still gets used. We would
advise the client on how & where to
put the product for optimal
performance.
3- How much would it cost? As the
product can be made with common
materials, production costs do not go
too high, and the initial investment
would be recovered in the first two
years.
