4. Past Performance Salk Institute, La Jolla, 540kW

5. Past Performance First Unitarian Universalist Church – 135 kW

6. Key Solar Questions Q. How does it work? A. Net Metering

7. “How does it work?”

8.  Hooks up to building via circuit breaker box  During day, system usually makes more energy than home can use  Extra energy flows back onto utility grid, runs the electric meter backwards for credit

9. “How does it work?”  Energy “banked” during day is “withdrawn” at night, after sun goes down  Electric bill only paid annually  As long as you withdraw the same amount as you put in, your energy cost is (almost) ZERO!

10. Utility Power: Expensive  $200 per month electricity bill  x 12 months = $2,400 per year  x 10 years = $24,000 over next 10 years  Inflation factor (6%), 10-year cost = $31,634  Cost of “doing nothing”  Return on investment?

11. Solar Power: Great Investment  5 kW System - 700 kWh per month = $20,570  Less 30% Tax Credit ($6,171)  Net cost - $14,399  About what you’d spend with SDG&E in 5 ½ years

12. Solar Power: Great Investment  Recoup your investment in 3-5 years!  Add new value to your home (+ $20,000)  No moving parts; tempered glass for durability  25-year warranty; 30+ year lifetime

13. Solar Power: Great Investment

14. Solar Power: Future Value “The earth receives enough solar energy in 1 hour to power the planet for 1 year.”

15. Solar Power: Future Value “The earth receives enough solar energy in 1 hour to power the planet for 1 year.” Our Solar Supply Exceeds Our Needs By a Factor of 10,000!

16. Solar Power: Future Developments The Rise of the Energy “Pro-sumer” Energy consumer who also produces Will shop for best energy prices, times Lowest price when buying; highest price when selling TOU: Battery Storage
