Financing Options Loans Retail (3 rd Party) PPAs and Leases On-bill Financing PACE Financing 22

Net Metering Billing arrangement between a utility and a customer-generator that allows electricity to flow both to and from the customer. Many caveats and fine details can make a net metering policy heavily favor the utility. 23

Interconnection Standards Interconnection refers to the issues that must be settled between the system owner and the utility and local permitting authorities before the system is connected to the grid. 1.Technical – safety, power quality, system impacts 2.Contractual – legal and procedural issues 3.Rates, fees and metering issues 24

Solar access laws Solar permitting incentives Solar ready building guidelines Other Policies 25

Wrap-Up SE electricity based on coal, nuclear, and natural gas Solar resource is good in SE and solar installations have been growing High upfront cost, lack of financing options and regulatory barriers can hinder growth of state solar market Policy options can be used to overcome barriers 26
