DEVELOPING OPPORTUNITIES INSOLAR
Steve VietorRiverland Community College
There has never been a better time to invest in Renewable Energy
SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV)
Thomas Edison “I’d put my money on solar energy…I hope we don’t
have to wait till oil and coal run out before we tackle that.” Thomas Edison, in conversation with Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, March 1931
SOLAR PVGreat Investment
Solar PV crystalline silicon modules have never been lower in price, $210-$270, 240 watt modules.
Lower costs on balance of system equipment, $144 Enphase micro inverter.
High quality listed and labeled equipment. Lower installation costs. Reliable equipment with 20-25 year warranty. Production monitoring. Incentives, rebates, depreciation.
Solar PV Installed costs2007 cost per watt $18.00 installed2013 cost per watt $2.66 installed Utility solar PV systems are at less
than $ 2.00 a watt installed and producing electricity at the same cost as coal or oil.
Arnprior Ontario Canada23.4 MW
312,000 Modules = 7000 homes
How to find the right solar PV system for you
Conduct an energy audit. Analyze annual electrical usage. Shade analysis. Review mounting options. Financial incentives. http://www.dsireusa.org/ System size and equipment choices.
