Solar Feasibility Studies
A solar feasibility study is recommended to evaluate the cost
effectiveness of utilizing solar photovoltaic or solar thermal
technology as a replacement or supplemental power source for
an on-grid or stand-alone application. The study would include:
· An evaluation of the average
and peak energy requirements
· Recommendations for reducing energy use
· A comparison of solar alternative to more traditional
alternatives
· An estimated system sizing for cost comparisons
· An estimation of first cost and annual operating cost
for each alternative
· A discussion of environmental benefits and financial
incentives available.
The study can usually be done with information gathered by phone/fax from the system owner. Larger systems or systems requiring integration with existing power systems may require a site visit.
Solar System Design and Specification
A solar system design can be done for the purpose of securing
and subsequently evaluating bids from solar vendors. The system
design would be based on load requirements established in a feasibility
study. A site evaluation would be done to assure solar access.
The design would include a detailed parts list and specifications
for the major components. Drawings would be provided to facilitate
assembly of the system on site. Grounding and lightning protection
schemes would be specified.
Solar Leasing Program
Remote customers can benefit form solar photovoltaic energy systems.
Remote homes, stock water pumps and remote telecommunications
sites are proven applications where the solar option costs less
than line extensions or fossil fuel generators. As a utility
you can help customers overcome the high initial cost of solar
with a lease to own program. EnerTech
Services can help design a program
to assure quality installations for the customer and set a lease
rate that provides a proper return to the utility.
