Solar Energy “Making Your Future Brighter”

Definition & Types Solar Energy is radiant energy emitted by the sun. 2 MAIN TYPES: Solar Thermal Energy Photovoltaic Solar Power OTHER TYPES: Concentrating Solar Power Passive Solar Energy Active Solar Energy

Locations 1. Germany – Feed-in-tariff 2. Spain – Feed-in-tariff 3. Japan – Tax and subsidy programs 4. United States: – Funding 5. China – Solar water and heat

Solar Energy Benefits Saves money Renewable Easy to maintain Reliable & Safe Helps fight greenhouse gas emissions (Global Warming) Conserves natural resources

Environmental Consequences Land use Water use Hazardous materials Problems disposing –emissions of carbon dioxide High start up and installation cost

Solar Energy Uses Solar powered ventilation Water heating Solar heating Solar power Solar lighting

Costs Solar panel installation (home) $15,00 - $29,00 (between 4kW-8kW) Annual rooftop inspection $ Panels cleaned by company $10.00-$20.00 per panel How much solar panels save Cuts about 50% of bill saving about $200 a month Connection fee About $100 a year

Applicable Legislation National Historic Preservation Act Prevents actions on historic landmarks without permission Farmland Protection and Policy Act Minimizes non-agricultural uses on farmland Renewable Energy Law Focuses on development of renewable energy sources and land use Clean Tech Law Focuses on clean technology and placement of technology National Environmental Policy Act Protection of the environment

Extra Facts Solar panels today are half as cheap as they were in 2008 The average Hawaiian to go solar would save about $65,000 over 20 years About 66% of solar power has been installed in the past 2 ½ years There are about 1.36 million jobs in the solar PV industry Nearly 784,000 homes and business have gone solar
