Sullivan Solar Power Stands Up in Recent Statewide Net Metering Debate

Published by fnever on May 8th, 2012 - in Knowledge Base


San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 07, 2012

The industry has come together to dispute the investor owned utility companies? efforts to destabilize the net metering . This , effective in its current form since 1998, has enabled over 100,000 to be connected to the grid. Various entities, including schools, businesses, water districts, and homeowners receive fair credit for the electricity their provide to the grid through net-metering.

However, the utilities are refuting a Public Utilities Proposed Decision which would require them to comply with the legislature?s directives. At issue is the cap, or number of systems that can be installed in California. Currently the law states that ratepayers are permitted to install solar power systems under net-metering until such time that the amount of power installed is equal to 5 percent of the sum of peak demand of each customer in a given utility territory. The utilities argue that the number of systems should be limited to only 5 percent of the utility?s peak demand. This slight difference in language would result in a halving of the amount of solar that could be deployed in the State. Should the utilities succeed in rebuking the and State Legislature on this issue, there will be a negative impact on solar employees, companies, and producers.

Dan Sullivan, president of San Diego-based solar company Sullivan Solar Power has recently entered the fray to oppose the utilities? unwillingness to comply with statute. Sullivan has ventured to San Francisco, most recently on May 3rd, to meet with the Public Utilities Commission and express his company?s concerns in person. As witnessed in similar cases it is rare for a local solar integrator to engage the Public Utilities Commission on Statewide issues. This is generally left to industry associations. However, Sullivan recognizes his actions as vital to ensure that his customers and employees will continue to benefit from the opportunities that solar energy has to offer.

?I can?t just sit back and watch all our hard work come under fire for the benefit of the utilities. I have over 50 employees who depend on my company to support their families and I am not about to let them down by staying quiet. The State of California has aggressive and admirable renewable energy goals which will help move us towards a more sustainable future. If we allow the utilities to undermine the legislature by not adhering to the Net-metering rules, our goals will not be reached,? said Sullivan.

The solar community as a whole has rallied to encourage the Public Utilities Commission to compel the utilities to comply. Proponents of solar energy such as Vote Solar, CALSEIA (California Solar Energy Industries Association) and SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association) are working hard to make the Commission aware of the severe impacts that the industry will face. To date, over 36,000 support letters have been sent to the CPUC encouraging the commissioners to enforce compliance with net-metering law.

?People care deeply about this issue. They want California to continue to go solar, and they agree that Californian?s should get fair credit for doing so,? said Annie Carmichael, Policy Director at the grassroots organization Vote Solar. ?We hope that state policymakers will listen to their constituents and ensure continued access to this energy -saving, job-creating backbone of California?s growing solar economy.?

Opponents of the large utilities are encouraged by the efforts of the community members paired with those of industry leaders such as Dan Sullivan. They understand that the efforts must continue to flourish in order to successfully overcome the large utilities stabs at the solar sector. While the debate rages on at the Commission to get the utilities to comply with the letter of the law, the utilities have introduced a bill which would change the law for their benefit. To these propositions Sullivan adds, ?For most, when faced with the prospect of either adhering with the law or breaking it, they choose to adhere. With the utilities, they try to change the law rather than comply. I am hopeful both the legislature and Commission let the utilities know that times are changing. Solar is here to stay and they are going to have to live with it.?

Arlington, VA (PRWEB) February 15, 2012

The International District Association (Notion) presented its 25th Annual Campus Conference, ?Innovations in Clean Energy?, in Arlington, VA on February 6-9, 2012. More than 650 registrants attended panels, technical presentations, workshops and an exhibit hall featuring 85 top companies. District energy systems, as important infrastructure in most main U.S. cities and institutions, had been the central focus of the conference, attracting participants from leading colleges and universities operating very efficient district energy and combined and power (CHP) systems.

The Opening Plenary Panel featured discussion on the , efficiency and price advantages of state-of-the-art district power and CHP systems. Panelists included the Honorable Stephen Ayers, Architect of the Capitol Dr. Kathleen Hogan, Deputy Secretary for Efficiency, EERE, U.S. Department of Energy Sarah Dunham, Director of Atmospheric Programs at U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tom Hicks, Deputy Secretary of the Navy for Power and senior energy executives from Cornell University, , Texas A&ampM University, Thermal Power Corporation (TECO) in Houston, Texas and University of at Chapel Hill.

Stephen Ayers, Architect of the Capitol, is preparing installation of an 18 MW CHP facility at the Capitol Power Plant that supplies steam for heating and chilled water for cooling to the US Capitol Supreme Court Library of Congress and Senate and Property workplace buildings on Capitol Hill. Ayers emphasized the reliability benefits of district energy and CHP, stating, ?Can you image a State of the Union address by the President getting cancelled since there was no heat in the Property Chamber? There is no room for excuses or failure in the environment in which I operate. The Capitol Power Plant has a long track record of highly trustworthy service and our move to incorporate CHP is intended to augment that reliability.?

The panelists noted the significant reliability positive aspects of district energy and CHP systems throughout unexpected events and all-natural disasters. The severe drought in Texas for the duration of the summer of 2011 drove electricity rates to reach record levels, but TECO was in a position to give electricity and cooling to its consumers at the Texas Medical Center at standard rates as a result of their 48 MW CHP and district power method. TECO CEO Steve Swinson stated, ?Simply because of the heat and the drought, the Texas electrical grid was incredibly stressed, from a generation perspective and a transmission perspective. Getting CHP permitted us to remain trustworthy.? Tom Nyquist of Princeton University also stressed the reliability positive aspects of district energy, noting, ?There have been instances when tropical storms come via and the only lights on in town are on campus. Having CHP and district power permits us to ride by way of storms with no interruption.?

Government recognition of the benefits of district power and CHP is growing as information and awareness of the technologies spread. On Thursday, February 2, Energy Secretary Steven Chu was in Houston to tour TECO along with Steve Swinson. In recounting the pay a visit to, Swinson commented to the Idea audience, ?Secretary Chu truly appreciated CHP and understood it,? and Kathleen Hogan of the U.S. Department of Energy echoed those sentiments. Dr. Hogan stated, ?The Department of Power has been strongly behind CHP for numerous years and this support is only getting stronger, as you could hear in the State of the Union address by the President and see from the Secretary?s check out to the superb facility in Texas.? The Department of Energy has established Clean Energy Application Centers (CEACs) to promote and assist in transforming the industry for CHP, waste heat recovery, and district energy technologies all through the United States. Idea functions closely with the CEACs to expand the district power marketplace and assistance projects.

Sarah Dunham, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, stated that EPA ?recognizes the possibilities for CHP and district power to be price-effective greenhouse gas reduction technologies and attain pollutant reduction goals. We see these technologies as a way to combine and attain each reliability and environmental efficiency.? EPA manages the CHP Partnership, a voluntary system that encourages the use of CHP to reduce the environmental impact of power generation.

One more conference panel focused on Military Bases, Microgrids and Managing Sustainability and featured Merrill Smith, Workplace of Electricity Delivery &amp Power Reliability, U.S. Department of Energy Richard Boyette, U.S. Navy NAV/FAC John Kelly, Ideal Power Institute Jonathan Powers, U.S. Army Power Initiatives Process Force Ted Borer, Princeton University and Tim Griffin, RMF Engineering. Presentations from the conference are obtainable on the Concept site.

Trustworthy power supplies for its military installations are essential to our nation?s security. The Department of Defense has established 3 central objectives for installation (military base) energy: to minimize energy use, enhance power security and boost use of renewable energy and onsite power generation. Onsite power generation reduces military reliance upon an aging and potentially vulnerable electricity grid and increases preparedness.

The reliability rewards highlighted by campus and governments members of the plenary panel are even much more valuable to mission-critical military operations, and district power and CHP systems support continued crucial base operations in the event of electricity supply disruptions. Tom Hicks, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, stated that the benefit of district energy and CHP is ?really about our combat capability?having a much more reliable grid, which CHP gives us, is an enabler of our mission, of our combat capability and preparedness.?

The 25th Annual Campus Power Conference was supported in portion by the generous sponsorship of top businesses, like Burns &amp McDonnell, Chem-Aqua, Jacobs Engineering, Johnson Controls and Solar Turbines.

How A lot Does Solar Power Expense?

Published by fnever on January 31st, 2012 - in Knowledge Base

Article by John O’Toole

A question on the lips of several men and women who are thinking about the obvious positive aspects of is “how a lot does ?”. In this post I appear at the variables to consider when thinking about residential .

“How significantly does solar energy price” is a challenging question to answer but this post will hopefully give you some very good pointers.

The expense of making use of solar energy is subsequent to absolutely nothing right after the initial investment of setting up your solar program for your residence. The quantity of income that you will spend for the equipment is determined by a number of variables.

Elements that figure out the expense of solar energy incorporate your electrical energy requirements, the quantity of sunshine that is accessible to charge the , size of the spot exactly where the panels will be utilized and incentives given by the government to men and women utilizing ‘green’ technologies.

And governments and states are recognizing the benefit to society at significant to encourage the use of renewable energy sources. Clearly this would also have the impact of lowering the obligation on government to offer energy which is an increasingly onerous task since of the depletion in fossil fuel supplies.

Taking into account the above talked about variables, right here is a rough estimate of the expense of solar power.

Water Heating Program: The cost of a solar water heating method is ,000-,000.

Photovoltaic : The price tag of a depends on its wattage. A 1 kW technique charges amongst US ,000 and ,000. For an average sized family, 1.5 – three kW solar panels are required, which expense amongst US ,000 and US ,000, with out rebates.

You can save a lot of funds on solar panels with the aid of government rebates and tax credits. For example, say you reside in California and have bought a two.5 kW method for ,500.

The government rebate on this program will be 00 (2500 watt x .80 per watt rebate = ,000). Also subtract the tax credit amount of $ 1,163 from the sale price (7.5% of technique price immediately after rebate. ,500 – ,000 x 7.5% = ,163).

It ought to be kept in thoughts that the instance given above is an estimate and other variables will play a element in figuring out the final expense value of a solar power technique.

You can reduce these fees enormously though by building your personal solar panels which can be built at a fraction of the expense of buying prepared made units.

Article by James Copper

technologies, the harnessing of the renewable energy of the sun for our electrical power, incorporate the of either or implementation of passive solar heating. Lets take a appear at every.

Photovoltaics PV for solar power are solar cells whose objective is to convert the light from the sun directly into electrical energy. These Photovoltaic cells are created of supplies that have semi conductive properties. In their simplest forms these solar power cells energize calculators and watches. The more complex photovoltaics can give the lighting for entire homes and offer solar power to the local electric grid for a large portion of the .

Photovoltaics operates at any time that the sun shines, though you will get a lot more solar power when it is a bright sunny day and when the rays of the sun are shining perpendicularly on the solar power panels. In contrast to a solar power system that is used to heat water, the technologies of Photovoltaics doesn’t use the rays of the sun to make the electricity. What it does instead is generate the electrical power right from the electrons that are freed by the sunlights interaction with the PV cells semi conductive materials.

Its not essential for you to be a whiz at physics, however, for you to implement this solar power and take benefit of all its positive aspects. Investing in PV provides you the likelihood to produce your own power noiselessly, pollution-free of charge and with no any moving parts to be concerned about. Solar power is a renewable power resource that is entirely . Not only that, your solar power system wont run out of fuel unless we run out of sun in which case youd run out of life as would every person and everything else on the planet.

Solar power will also aid the United States or whichever country you are in decrease its dependence on foreign countries for its energy supplies. Several manufacturers of solar power panels and other merchandise might be right in your house town, or at least a nearby community. You can typically support neighborhood firms for the batteries, glass and other parts that make up your photovoltaic solar power supply.

The second source of solar power, , can heat or your residence and light it as nicely. Residences and commercial buildings that have implemented this use straightforward techniques such as windows that face south and building materials that absorb the heat of the sun and then release it slowly. is not about mechanical implementations.

With these basic passive processes and implementations residences can understand a reduction of up to half of their house heating bill. Natural ventilation to cool that home is also element of passive solar power as nicely.

The simple and most crucial premise of home solar power implementation is that the longest wall of your newly constructed property must be built to face correct south inside 15 degrees. This will supply the most get in winter solar heating power and the greatest benefit for summer solar power cooling.
