BROWARD COUNTY GO SOLARFEST ACCESSING AFFORDABLE SOLAR FINANCING THROUGH PACE

Solar Power is not the energy source of the future BROWARD GO SOLAR FEST Solar Power is not the energy source of the future This is a misconception and limits the widespread adoption of solar power It is an energy source of today and has been in use for a long time

BROWARD GO SOLAR FEST CALIFORNIA 1906

Everyone understands the benefits of solar BROWARD GO SOLAR FEST Everyone understands the benefits of solar Economic – free energy Environmental – clean energy So if everyone understands it, and it isn’t some futuristic technology, then why isn’t everyone using it???? Simple Answer: The upfront expense

The industry is now a pre-pay model BROWARD GO SOLAR FEST The industry is now a pre-pay model All expenses are loaded on to the front end rather than spread throughout the life of the installation Cell Phone Example Pay as you go model Current solar installation normally costs around $4 a watt or $4000/kw (not including battery backups) Good News is that price has been coming down significantly in past years and cost of traditional energy has been increasing, but for the moment, still quite expensive.

BROWARD GO SOLAR FEST Typical home would need a 5-7kw array $20k - $28k Some go as large as 10kw array ($40k) to be completely off grid or to power larger appliances such as HVAC systems These amounts don’t include battery backups For many, it is an obvious decision….spend $28,000 now in order to save a couple hundred bucks a month…..the decision is NO Especially in states like Florida where our cost of energy is actually rather low compared to other states and countries

BROWARD GO SOLAR FEST Many concepts have been implemented in order to avoid this problem and remove this obstacle to widespread solar adoption State Subsidies No longer exist in Florida Federal Tax Credits Up to 30% of value of installation, set to expire in 2016 Utility Company Rebates Limited funds that dry up quickly May increase due to recent Obama Executive Order PPA’s (Power Purchase Agreement) Not available in Florida Leasing On-bill Financing Net Metering PACE

THE BASICS OF PACE MUNICIPALITIES CAN FINANCE ENERGY EFFICIENCY, HURRICANE PROTECTION, AND RENEWABLE ENERGY UPGRADES FOR PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS REPAID BY THE PROPERTY OWNER THROUGH NON-AD VALOREM ASSESSMENT ON PROPERTY TAX BILL NEW SPIN ON THE ASSESSMENT POWERS OF THE CITY ENERGY EFFICIENCY, RENEWABLE ENERGY, AND HURRICANE PROTECTION = COMPELLING STATE INTEREST

WHAT IS PACE? 100% FINANCING VOLUNTARY INDIVIDUAL NON CREDIT BASED No out of pocket expense to property owner Removes single largest obstacle to implement these projects VOLUNTARY Simply an option for those who want it All traditional forms of financing are still available INDIVIDUAL Zero affect on neighbors Only those who choose to participate pay the assessment NON CREDIT BASED Eligibility based on property values and owner equity Allows many to participate that would not be eligible for traditional financing

PACE All of a sudden, with these programs, solar makes economic sense for home owners and businesses With PACE alone, you can now get a $20,000 installation for only $1900 a year ($158 a month) with nothing out of pocket for the first year. Now imagine that you get a rebate from FPL and tax credits totaling $10,000. So you can have a $20k installation for about $900 a year ($75 a month). Depending on the efficiency of your home, the solar installation can be cash flow positive as of day one.

Not just a solar program EXTRA BENEFITS OF PACE Not just a solar program Can be used for the entire building envelope - insulation, windows, efficient air conditioners, radium barrient, window film, etc. This means that you can now have zero out of pocket expense to make the entire building more efficient so you don’t waste money on a larger array than necessary Can pass along with ownership of the property Easy to qualify Long payback periods (up to 20 years) Makes annual payment very affordable In the case of commercial properties, full payment can be expensed (Off Balance Sheet) No cost to the cities/No increase in utility rates

PACE IN FLORIDA Florida has been slow to adopt the program There are two active PACE districts running in Florida today Palm Beach County Green Corridor in Miami-Dade County has completed almost 60 projects for over $2 million 150 more projects in construction Consists of 8 cities – Miami, Coral Gables, Miami Shores, Cutler Bay, Pinecrest, South Miami, Palmetto Bay, and Key Biscayne Second district coming online in Miami-Dade at the end of June Coastal Corridor – Surfside, Bay Harbor Islands, Biscayne Park, North Bay Village Broward County vote to join the District set for June 24 Pinellas County and Leon County have voted to create a program but still in the works
