3. Photovoltaic (PV) Array Monitoring 21-Oct-15

4. PV Arrays generate Electricity From The Sun 21-Oct-15 + =

5. Aggregate Pool An aggregate pool of smaller arrays Bunch of little guys add up to BIG results 5 x 20 = 100 Residential Arrays up to 10 kW get rebates 10 x 100 = 1000 or 1 MegaWatt 21-Oct-15

6. 2013 Site Total 21-Oct-15 228.649 MWh So far, this year… 250 MW is a small power plant

7. Solar Works IN NH NH receives about 30% LESS sun than NEW MEXICO PV Installed Costs have dropped from $20 per watt to $5 Payback Periods hover around 4 Years RECs 21-Oct-15

8. RECs Renewable Energy Credits Utilities are Required to Buy Them NH State Law says the Utilities MUST show that 25% of the Energy they provide comes from Renewables by 2025 “25 x 25” is the slogan. The program will run until 2025 21-Oct-15

9. Sale of RECs Sold at RGGI Auction RGGI – Renewable Greenhouse Gas Initiative – a coalition of 11 states. NH is one Aggregation of the RECs give the “little guy” visibility at the RGGI auction 21-Oct-15

10. WHY Should I Sign Up? RECs are income IN ADDITION to whatever credit you get from the utility from NET METERING RECs are NOT Net Meter Credit Size does matter. A minimum system size of 3.5 kW makes it worthwhile 21-Oct-15

11. Then WHY Should I Sign Up? PSNH and the rest have been lying (SURPRIZED ??) They convinced lawmakers: Solar DOESN’T WORK in NH We know differently (from previous slides) There are not enough RECs for them to comply Reduce the value of the RECs to a paltry $50 Reduce the Alternative Compliance Payment (ACP) to ? You guessed it: $50 21-Oct-15

12. WHY Should I Sign Up? The more people in the pools, the more RECs will be available The RECs are Public Knowledge Must be reported to NEPOOL-GIS National Database and the NHPUC 21-Oct-15

13. WHY Should I Sign Up? We can expose their lies We can assert political pressure to: Get a reasonable value for the RECs The same SREC in MA is worth $250 Remember this number Put some sting back into the ACP 21-Oct-15

14. How Much Can I Make? Let’s assume a 10 kW array Array will ANNUALLY produce approx. 12 RECs Assume RECs are $50 12 x 50 = $600 EAU’S (MY FEE) = $60 ANNUAL from previous slide BOTTOM LINE TO YOU: $600 - $60 = $540 (minus any broker fees (varies) 21-Oct-15

15. How Do I Sign Up? Most Brokers will do all the necessary paperwork You hire EAU as your independent monitor We are REQUIRED by the PUC to do an initial site visit One-time fee of $100 You sit back and wait for the check 21-Oct-15

16. How Do I Sign Up? One shining example of one client in a pool: Seasonal Working Farm (A Commercial Client) Closes after Hallowe’en Hayrides Shuts down LAST WINTER, the array generated enough NET meter credit, the farm operated this season for ZERO AND HE’S LOOKING AT A CHECK FROM US FOR $1800 ! 21-Oct-15
