Common Solar Myths… Solyndra means bankruptcy for the entire industry… Different technology which couldn’t compete My lights will go out if it’s cloudy! 98% Grid – tied Solar is a fad… FedEx, UPS, eBay, Hewlett Packard Google, Apple and the U.S. Air Force Nellis Air Force Base 14 MW!!!

America’s Greatest Resource!

Solar Saves Us All Money! Energy prices are most expensive when demand is highest June – September 2pm – 7pm Solar energy production is highest during these peak demand times Solar reduces customer demand for the utility’s peak (most expensive) power which makes energy less expensive for all ratepayers

Solar - We Will Lead! The economics are in your favor, right now! THE ECONOMICS

Solar - We Will Lead! NEW NUKE IS GOING TO BE FAR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SOLAR... FOR FAR LONGER... Nuclear Power is ‘Base Load’ delivered for approximately $.04 per kWh Vogtle 3&4 - $14,000,000,000 – 2,200 MW – 10+ Years to Build

Solar - We Will Lead! SOLAR & NUCLEAR COSTS – HISTORIC CROSSOVER Dr. John O. Blackburn & Sam Cunningham NC WARN: Waste Awareness & Reduction Network (July 2010)
11
2007 $8 /Watt Installed 100KW = $800,000 Generates 160,000 kWh/year 30 Year Generation = 4.8m Cost Per kWh = $.19/kWh * 2009 $6.25 /Watt Installed 100KW = $625,000 Generates 160,000 kWh/year 30 Year Generation = 4.8m Cost Per kWh = $.15/kWh * 2012 $3.50 /Watt Installed 100KW = $350,000 Generates 160,000 kWh/year 30 Year Generation = 4.8m Cost Per kWh = $.09/kWh * Delivered Cost per Kilowatt Hour (kWh) without incentives * Assumes 30 years of operation & maintenance and capital at 6%. Solar - We Will Lead! $450,000 (56%) price reduction in 5 years!
12
2012 $3.50 / Watt Installed 100KW = $350,000 Generates 160,000 kWh/year 30 Year Generation = 4.8m Cost Per kWh = $.09-$.11/kWh * Delivered Cost Per Kilowatt hour (kWh) with incentives * Assuming 30 years of operation, normal operational costs and capital at 6%. Federal Incentive: 30% = -$1.05 Depreciation: 25% = -$.875 Final Cost Per Watt Installed: $1.58 Cost Per kWh over 30 Years = $.033/kWh Solar - We Will Lead! Solar Has Reached Grid Parity!

Hewlett Packard Data Center 355 kW Ballasted Flat Roof Array Panel Claw – Andover, Massachusetts 1,420 Mono-Crystalline Solar Panels Suniva - Norcross, Georgia Industrial Grade Inverter PV Powered – Portland, Oregon 21 days to install with local labor and electrical work Grid-Tied System on Georgia Power
15
Hewlett Packard Data Center Array will produce 17,000,000 kWh over 30 yrs. That is $.033 / kWh hedged for 30 years VS. peak rates of $.36 per kWh and RISING!!! 30 years of Savings: $2 - $5 M
