WHY SOLAR POWER MAKES SENSE  Every hour enough solar radiation

strikes the surface of the earth to satisfy global power demand for one full year. (NREL)

 Solar Power is distributed power (it is

produced where you need it).

 Solar Power helps “flattens” the

demand curve (it is normally produced when it’s needed most).

 It is a domestic power source!

WHY SOLAR IS GROWING IN WV Solar is a way to lower your electric bill forever 30% Federal tax credit helps to offset initial cost Solar (with storage) can be a source of back up power when the grid is down Solar is installed by building and electrical contractors and is a good job creator in WV Grid tied Solar doesn’t work without a baseline fuel source

Industry Growth 2009-2016 2009 less than 50kW PV installed state-wide, mostly residential

2010 WV residential solar state tax credit enacted. That credit expired in 2013. Over 4.2 Megawatts of solar currently in WV at 575 locations. 1 megawatt creates enough energy to power 100 homes per year, for over 40 years.

Residential Solar

Net metering – interconnection West Virginia utilities allow solar to be interconnected via Net-Metering, utilizing Bi-directional meters. This allows home owners and businesses to install solar equipment and produce some of the electricity they consume. Net metered, or solar behind the meter, represents the majority of roof top solar installations nation-wide. In West Virginian, utility scale projects require approval from the PSC.

Solar Co-ops Community Power network and WVSun have help spur the growth of solar in West Virginia and surrounding states by organizing group buys and assisting interested groups in choosing contractors. Total installs: 58 Charleston, Fayette County, Monroe Co, Morgantown, Tucker /Randolph & Wheeling Total kW installed: 386kW

Workforce Development Community Technical Colleges and Vocational Schools begin offering Solar training.

South Branch CTC in Petersburg, Eastern WV CTC in Moorefield, & Blue Ridge CTC in the Eastern Panhandle have all begun programs. Solar Holler and Coalfield Development Corporation jointly launched the West Edge Solar Training Institute in Huntington--a program to help young people and displaced coal miners join the solar industry.

Key differences Third Party Financing – Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)

In surrounding state PPAs are allowable. This tools enables school districts, municipalities and qualifying non-profits, to have solar installed, without large capital expenditures. Many large utilities like Duke Power have begun financing and owning these energy generation assets. By allowing this type of ownership, surrounding states have seen much greater solar industry growth in their states than we have seen here in West Virginia.

Habitat For Humanity

Educating The Next Generation

APUS 407kW system- 1600 panels West Virginia’s largest solar array

Increasing Jobs in West Virginia Keep net metering rules as they are. By allowing Power Purchase Agreements, third party financing will bring large scale solar projects to our state. Solar jobs are contracted trades, electrical and mechanical, that can’t be outsourced. There is plenty of sunshine in the Mountain State. The future of the Solar industry is bright.
