Carbon Plan Overview – Energy

Two Years of Planning Realized 1.8 MW installed to date

Tyler Street Parking Structure 30 kilowatt Thin Film Solar System First solar installation at ASU in Solar Project canopies that support the thin film solar laminates and provide shade for 44 spaces. Owned and operated by the University.

Milestones Set by 2008 Installations Largest solar installation at a US university Largest non-utility solar power plant in AZ First commercial Solar Services Agreement in AZ Positions ASU as leader in adopting solar Environmental benefits equivalent to: Powering 275 AZ Homes Taking 420 Cars Off the Road Averting more than 4.9 million lbs of CO 2 Slide compliments of SolEquity

2008 Reference Projects – Parking Structures 1.6 MW of single-axis tracking solar canopies over Apache and Stadium Parking Structures. Manufactured by Suntech, Polycrystalline Panels installed by SolEquity. Photo credit - SolEquity

Stadium Parking Structure Solar Project Photo credit - SolEquity 711 kilowatt system

2008 Reference Projects – Coor Hall 108 kW fixed tilt thin film rooftop PV system manufactured by First Solar, installed by SolEquity. Owned and operated by a private investor. ASU purchases the power.

Financing of Solar Projects –Owned and Operated by a Private Investor Projects were financed under a Photovoltaic System Services Management Agreement between ASU and Sun Devil Solar, LLC. Term of the agreement is 15 years, with a potential to extend for an additional 5 years. No up-front investment by ASU. The PV systems, owned by Sun Devil Solar, LLC, will generate electrical power for ASU and ASU will pay for this service. The Photovoltaic System Services Management Agreement applies to the above three solar projects and can be modified to add others. ASU can purchase the systems at fair market value at the end of the term of the agreement or extend the agreement for additional service.

How Does This Work? Started with a rooftop study. ASU issued a general RFP for solar work for its campuses. Three companies were selected – SolEquity, Honeywell, and Integrated Energy. A fourth company – APSES – was added through an intergovernmental partnership. Projects are called Photovoltaic System Services Management Agreement

Carbon Emissions Compliments of Sterling Planet

What Are Carbon Offsets? Carbon offsets counteract activities that emit carbon into the atmosphere by funding projects that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.projects Offsets can be created by: Increasing energy efficiency in buildings, factories, or transportation Generating electricity from renewables such as wind or solar Modifying a power plant or factory to use fuels that produce less GHG Putting wasted energy to work via cogeneration Capturing carbon dioxide in forests and agricultural soils

Lessons Being Learned The first major project is the most difficult. PPA’s – the client (you) needs to commit to making this happen. Heavy coordination with the utility (APS/SRP) on interconnect agreements. REC’s and Carbon Credits
