Solar Energy Collectors

Solar Energy Team Deborah Lester – Baca County Pat McCarty – Garfield County Jonathan Moore – CHEN Marvin Reynolds – Pueblo County Kurt Jones – Chaffee/Park Counties Dan Fernandez – Delores County Room for Others!!!

Solar Team Focus Solar Electric Generation – Home/Business-scale Photovoltaic Systems – Small-Scale Photovoltaic (water pumping, etc). Solar Heating Systems – Solar Water Heating – Passive Solar – Solar Space Heating

Solar Goals (1 st Year) Team membership – Identification – TRAINING (Become Information Brokers) Deliverables – Fact Sheets: Harvesting Energy from the Sun: Solar Photovoltaics Solar Water Pumping Systems (being written) – Presentations Annual Forum Update Supercluster Training (March, 2010, Alamosa?) – Website Update

Tools Currently Available Website ( ) – Reference Materials for general information – Online sizing calculators for grid-tied systems – Links for additional information Upcoming on Website – CSU Extension Fact Sheets – Additional worksheets for solar applications – Solar Team Members and focus areas (who to call for questions) – Other

Additional Tools Solar Pathfinder – Helps to evaluate a site for solar resource (amount of solar insolation, potential shading, seasonal changes) Solar Team Members – Available for questions from agents/clients, etc.

Sizing a Grid-Tied PV System Add up total energy usage for the year Divide by 365 for daily total Divide by 5.5 hours of solar insolation per day Factor in inefficiencies OR Go to online calculator available at (

Sizing a Grid-Tied PV System Example: – A Colorado home had a total of 8002 kWH of energy usage for a year (667 kWH per month) Online calculator: 4.89 kW system Estimated cost: $39,089 Estimated net: $15,391 (after rebates/incentives)

Sticker Shock?? As with any renewable energy investment, best return on dollars is on demand side of the equation rather than supply side Becoming energy-efficient is the first step in renewable energy Solar systems can be expanded upon later, provided initial installation accounts for future expansion

New Members Welcome!! WIFM – What’s In (it) For Me – Part of a Dynamic Team – Professional Development Opportunities – State-wide (nation-wide?) Impact – Publication Potential (Fact Sheets, activity sheets, news articles) – Future Presentations – Happy Hour!! – Wednesday evening, Wild Boar Restaurant, 5:00 PM

Questions?? Resource Fair –Clean Energy Booth Kurt Jones, ,
