www.solardave.com solardave: How much of your business is residential verses commercial? Cary Hayes: Colorado about 70 to 80 percent is residential and another 20 or so % would be small commercial and medium commercial. The commercial program in Colorado has been slow to take hold for a variety of reasons. One has been some uncertainties with the rebate program there. Xcel rebate program is divided in to three catagories: 1. 0-10KW residential program $4.50 watt 2. 10KW to 100KW is that medium commercial level, $2 watt up front rebate, but then pays 11.5 cent per kilo watt hour for the production of the system for 20 years. That is pretty interesting. We are excited to be doing a couple of products in that category right now. 3. 100KW to 2 Mega Watts (solardave – “power station”) large commercial. This is done by RFI (request for proposal) basically come out twice a year, such as the Colorado Convention Center downtown, 1.8MW facility in Belmar neighborhood in Denver with a carport thing. Also 1-2MW at DIA (Denver International Airport) that is going in. The medium to large system are financed through what is called a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) which is basically a financing mechanism to pay for the system without the host customer paying anything. For example one of the projects that we are involved in has a PPA and the host customer pays nothing up front for the system at all. Except they pay for the Kilo Watt hours that the system produces. So a large financing bank such as Morgan Stanley, Merrel Lynch, Citi Group, Goldman Sachs comes in and funds the project and the host customer pays up front costs, they just put solar panels on the building and then they pay that 3rd party that financed the system a flat rate of electricity the building generated for the system. The benefits of the host customer are that it fixes the cost of power. So they now know what they are going to pay for power this year for the next 20 years with a built in escalator typically. So CPA love that so they are given the visibility of what their costs are going to be when the energy costs are so uncertain, so it is a good win for them.

www.solarenergyguide.net – How to Make a Homemade Solar Panel Solar panels, unlike before, are cheap and easy to install with great efficiency. With this advent, you can save big money as well as help save the environment. A DIY kit is available and has an easy to follow instruction with them. What you need is some simple tools and you’re done. Here is your guide to make a homemade solar panel 1. First, you must know the loads of your solar panel and the package that is affordable to you. One watt of solar panel module will coast you about $25 and a 200 watts module is around $1000. If you need more power, you can connect this to form a collector to produce your desired power needs. Electrical connections are made in series to achieve a desired output voltage and/or in parallel to provide a desired amount of current capability. 2. After selecting the solar panel modules, you need a charge controller which is an important system component that regulates the voltage generated by the solar panel. This will regulate your power and provide protection to the batteries from being over or under-charged. 3. Next, you need a solar inverter this will convert 12 volt DC (direct current) from solar panel to 125 volts AC (alternating current) which will feed your appliances. Some high end inverters combine an inverter, battery charger and dual transfer switch in one package. 4. Batteries are needed if there is no sun or there is a blackout in your area. Typically, lead acid batteries are use because of performance and cost. Newer lead-acid battery is called maintenance free and this does not require water addition, but this is expensive. The battery is one of the first components of your solar panel to be replaced. Usually, a battery can have 200 to 300 charge/discharge cycle because of corrosion and depletion of active materials. So, be prepared to change batteries in about a year. Typical price of batteries ranges from 100 to 500 dollars. 5. Also, you must consider the battery enclosure as this are toxic and can explode. Solar PV (Photovoltaic) Panel Mounting System is where your panel will be installed. You can choose either at the roof, pole, or at the ground. There are so many designs to choose from and some have motors to track the sun. 6. The last, but certainly the most important one, is that make sure to have your wire connection checked by qualified technician. Faulty electrical wiring is the most common fire hazard today. Now that you know how to make a homemade solar panel, you can now start this DIY project with ease. It’s affordable and simple without having to worry about your monthly expenditure on electricity anymore. You can definitely save money and the environment by making a homemade solar panel at your own home. It is a fun, enriching, and worthy project to undertake.
