  1. Cost Effectively Deploying Solar Energy on the DELMARVA Peninsula .Dave P. Buemi President & CEO Prescient Marketing, Inc. GreenWorks Solar Energy, Inc. 11/29/2007

  2. About Prescient & GreenWorks • Prescient – new solar technology commercialization expeditor • GreenWorks - product manufacturer, marketer and distributor of solar products globally • Headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland with offices in Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates

  3. Solar Energy – No War Required • The solar energy that falls on Saudi Arabia alone each year is equal to the entire proved reserves of coal, oil and natural gas in the world. - Ford Foundation

  4. The 4 – 5x Myth • Routinely cited figure • Solar PV is actually less expensive Utility cost $0.11 kWh Health/ Enviro $0.08 kWh Gov’t subsidy $0.09 kWh Total$0.28 kWh Solar PV ~$0.20 kWh (with no subsidies!)

  5. Exploding Market • Forecast: 30% per year growth through 2016

  6. Drivers • Global energy demand - 17 trillion kilowatt hours in 2005 to 27 trillion kilowatt hours in 2025 (EIA) • Environmental, energy security, gov’t incentives • COST

  7. Solar Energy Technologies • Solar Thermal • Water Heating • 70 GWth global installed capacity • Photovoltaic(PV) • Devices for direct conversion of photon energy into electricity • 1,744 MW global installed • Concentrating Solar Power(CSP) • Mirror devices/steam generators • 40 MW global installed

  8. Photovoltaics • Various technologies • Silicon wafer >90% market share

  9. Application Specific

  10. Grid Tied Solutions Graphic: EI Solutions

  11. Location Economics • Comparison of insolation – US and Germany

  12. Location Economics • Utility cost • Subsidies • Net Metering

  13. Size & Cost • How big? • How much? LOCATION: Googleplex SYSTEM SIZE: 1.6 MW ENERGY OUTPUT: 2,611,719 kWh per year SAVINGS: $393,000+ annually RESULTS: CO2 emissions reduced by 3.6 million pounds per year, (equivalent to 4.28 million car miles/year)

  14. Determine Size • How much energy do you use? • When do you use it? • Have you completed energy efficiency upgrades?

  15. System Considerations • Building, land, other? • Roof or ground space size? • Age of roof? • Flat or pitched? • Which direction & degree? • Obstructions?

  16. Installation Issues Type of Roof: –Standing seam –Built-up –PVC Ground Conditions: –Soil –Distance to meter • Tracker: • –Full day coverage? • Canopy/other: • –Does structure • already exist?

  17. Tuning for Value • When is peak usage? • Peak power rates? –What is the rate? • Type of incentives? • Net metering?

  18. Financing for Value • Issues: • Return rate • Tax appetite and strategy • Operating or capital expense • Purchase & Financing Options: • Cash purchase • Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) • Lease (capital or tax lease) • Debt or bonds

  19. Results
