Challenges for Home/Business-based Systems The Clean Energy Collective Advantage
High “One off” or small-scale pricingMinimum 15% savings, allowing consumers to purchase at large-system, reduced rate prices
Non-ideal locations (natural resources –unobstructed solar, water, thermal, or wind)
Located for optimal production, access to non-PV technologies
Unwanted aesthetic impacts (roof mounting, and historical preservation)
Not located at the home or business - a community location
Rental – not a possibility due to a lack of ownership of the building or a common HOA
Located in a community parcel
Overwhelmed , don’t want to take the time or hassle of hiring good contractors
Check the box, makea payment… done!

Home/business-based solutions Clean Energy Co-op Advantage
Expected systems life – 25 to 50 years Expected systems life – 100+ years (perpetual)
kWh Production per kW installed- 50 year system production of 44,880 kWh- Year 1 -> 1,485 kWh, year 25 -> 1,073 kWh, year 50 -> 0 kWh- Adverse effects: dirt -10%, equipment -20%, unmanaged -45%- Production risk
kWh Production per kW installed- 50 year system production of 82,500 kWh- Year 1 -> 1,650 kWh, year 50 -> 1,650 kWh- Managed solution (maintenance escrow - 5% of sale, 2% of generation)- Guaranteed long term production
1.8 X over 50 years3.7 X over 100 years
Cost/kWh for $2,000 utility rebate over 25 years = $0.059 (1.2X)
50 years = $0.045 (1.8X)
lifetime = $0.045 (5+X)
Cost/kWh for $2,000 utility rebate over 25 years = $0.048
50 years = $0.024
lifetime = < $0.01
utility oversight – High, dependant on penetration, hundreds to thousands of systems
utility oversight – Minimal for a handful of large scale fully managed and maintained systems
Impact on reducing utility peak demand – very limited (solutions are widely limited to non-peak solar production - increased utility cost and carbon emissions)
Impact on reducing utility peak demand – sizable potential through hydro and biomass solutions as well as future power storage solutions
