  9. PV SOLAR ENERGY INSTALLATION • General PV Systems Introduction • To understand Solar Energy and Sofos Harbert Renewable Energy business here are the basics of a PV Solar Energy Installation. Always in compliance with local regulations, it may vary between states or countries.

  10. KEY PLAYERS To understand more in depth about Solar Energy we will explain the key players and how they interact in the PV industry.

  11. U.S. & SOUTHEAST • According to Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables: “Total installed U.S. PV capacity is expected to more than double over the next five years. By 2023, over 14 GWdc of PV capacity will be installed annually.” • The growing natural gas plants installation has driven solar new implementations down to a 30% in 2018. Still a good number, though.

  12. U.S. & SOUTHEAST • Alabama currently has no state or local Renewable Portfolio Standards. As in other states, the lack of an RPS has translated to an unfortunate lack of incentives to support solar power. (solarpowerrocks.com)

  13. U.S. & SOUTHEAST • Alabama currently has no state net metering system, being one of the only 6 states in the nation where net metering is not regulated. • Alabama don’t have an interconnection statewide regulation neither any solar rebates or state tax credits. • image from: https://www.conexx.org/about-conexx/major-corporations-in-the-southeast/

  14. SOLAR INSTALLATION For the Commercial & Industrial there are 3 most popular options for PV solar installation: On the manufacturing facility roof On the ground, manufacturing company own land Solar carports

  15. WHAT TO DO • There are different options on what to do with produced energy, the best two opportunities are: • Power Purchase Agreement: “A PPA is the principal agreement that defines the revenue and credit quality of a generating project and is thus a key instrument of project finance. There are many forms of PPA in use today and they vary according to the needs of buyer, seller, and financing counter parties.” (Wikipedia) • Behind the meter: “A Behind the Meter system (BTM) is a Renewable Energy system uniquely designed and built for a single building or facility. Its purposes are: to reduce the carbon footprint of the building by generating electricity 'locally' from renewable sources.” (Hybridyne Power)

  16. PPA vs BEHIND THE METER PPA in Alabama PPAs in Alabama are possible but not all its varieties. In most cases the PPA will go through the utilities such as Alabama Power, TVA or Power South, making it a more complicated structure than Behind-The-Meter systems. BTM in Alabama This is a great option for advanced manufacturing facilities in the state. Owning an on-site behind the meter system is the most recommended option right now in Alabama for C&I. Self consuming the produced energy without having to negotiate a PPA with a third-party is the best case scenario.
