Financing your Home Energy Upgrades: On Bill Recovery and The Smart Energy Loan. 4 ways PACE can help you land commercial projects. This blog was originally published at CivicSolar.com by Charlie Seltzer.
The property-assessed clean energy (PACE) model is an innovative mechanism for financing energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements on private property. PACE programs allow local governments, state governments, or other inter-jurisdictional authorities, when authorized by state law, to fund the up-front cost of energy improvements on commercial and residential properties, which are paid back over time by the property owners. For a primer on PACE financing see HERE. While Utility and Residential solar grew more than 50% annually (from 2012-2015, no exact 2016 numbers yet), the Commercial sector’s growth has been relatively flat since 2012.
NREL estimates that there is more than 500 GW of potential solar capacity for SMB. Here are four more ways you can benefit from using PACE: Reduces sales cycle timeThough a silver bullet does not exist, Commercial PACE (C-PACE) significantly improves customer acquisition. Orca - Earth-friendly Waste Disposal. In Canada and the U.S. every year, food-waste disposal is a big environmental problem.

What does this program do? Cultivating the coexistence of agriculture and solar farms. By now, most Americans have heard of solar farms.
But how about solar farmers? A quarter of California farms, nearly 2,000 altogether, are generating onsite solar energy, making it far and away the national leader, according to a 2011 report (PDF) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) outlining the use of solar on farms. Hawaii, Colorado and Texas count over 500 farms producing solar power, while Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, Arizona and Montana have over 200 each. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia. Electric power transmission towers Electric power transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site, such as a power plant, to an electrical substation.
The interconnected lines which facilitate this movement are known as a transmission network. This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. The combined transmission and distribution network is known as the "power grid" in North America, or just "the grid". In the United Kingdom, the network is known as the "National Grid". A wide area synchronous grid, also known as an "interconnection" in North America, directly connects a large number of generators delivering AC power with the same relative frequency to a large number of consumers.
Bankruptcies Give Vivint Solar and Sunrun a New Opening in Residential Solar. The residential solar industry in the U.S. is up for grabs and there could be a new opportunity for Vivint Solar (NYSE:VSLR) and Sunrun (NASDAQ:RUN) to grab market share.
Sungevity and Verengo Solar recently went bankrupt and NRG Home is exiting the home solar business, taking three big competitors out of the game. This doesn't change the fact that local and regional installers are gaining market share, but it leaves fewer large installers with a national presence. And there's still an opportunity to use that position to profitably grow their customer base. Image source: Getty Images. National installers face the music. Is SunPower Coming Up Roses in Residential Solar? Amid SunPower Corporation's (NASDAQ:SPWR) struggles over the past year, including the fourth quarter of 2016 in particular, the company may finally be showing some promise in residential solar, a business long dominated by Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) SolarCity, Vivint Solar (NYSE:VSLR), and Sunrun (NASDAQ:RUN).
Customers are now starting to shun the long-term contracts that come with leases, choosing to pay cash or take out loans for their solar systems. And when they begin to make their own choices about solar equipment, SunPower's high efficiency, superior quality, and good aesthetics have led to rising market share. Which of course begs the question: Is this a sustainable win that SunPower can build off for years to come? Image source: SunPower. Microgrids Are New York's Next Big Thing.

Governor Cuomo Announces Expanded Access to Renewable Energy For Millions Of New Yorkers. Governor Cuomo announced the approval of a bold new community initiative enabling millions of New Yorkers to access clean and affordable energy for the first time.
Proposed in Governor Cuomo’s 2015 State of Opportunity Agenda, Shared Renewables provides opportunities for renters, homeowners, low-income residents, schools and businesses to join together to set up shared renewable energy projects resulting in healthier and stronger communities. “The Shared Renewables initiative will help people and communities across the state save money on local clean energy projects,” Governor Cuomo said. “This program is about protecting the environment and ensuring that all New Yorkers, regardless of their zip code or income, have the opportunity to access clean and affordable power. Together, we will build a cleaner and greener New York.” Beginning May 1, 2016, a second phase will make shared renewable projects available throughout entire utility service territories.
Solar Electricity Basics. Stem Pilot Marks a Step Forward for Commercial Energy Storage in Hawaii. If only I were a battery, I could be hanging out in Hawaii right now. The islands have seen a fair number of batteries deployed in recent years, to help solar households self-consume and to smooth large amounts of solar generation on the grid. What they haven't seen is a thriving commercial storage market like the one California has seen emerge. That hasn't changed yet, but Californian commercial storage specialist Stem has deployed a pilot network of 29 business-sited battery systems to show how this model might work with Hawaiian utilities. "What we're really trying to do with this first set of customers is help to pave the way for the coming industry, which will include multiple players," said Tad Glauthier, Stem vice president of Hawaii operations, in an interview at the DistribuTech conference in San Diego.
Some of the participants in the pilot are local branches of chains Stem has worked with, like Whole Foods and Albertsons. Will Trump disrupt the US military's clean energy mission? Clean energy isn't just environmentally friendly, as many military leaders see a shift to renewable energy as a way to make the U.S. soldier more effective. During President George W. Bush’s era, his administration directed the military to start procuring renewables and implement efficiency programs as early as 2003.
The pace quickened under President Barack Obama, as utilities inked agreements to provide renewables to stateside bases, and the U.S. Navy built its Great Green Fleet that showed its ability to transition away from traditional fuel sources into more alternative methods. Though a key argument over climate change as a national security threat could undermine some of the progress, military leaders say it’s unlikely a Trump administration will unravel these programs since they strengthen the United States’ fighting forces. Now the head of climate efforts for Novartis Business Services, Goudreau spent over two decades as a supply corps logistician.
FCe- Calculators, Data & Publications. Looming tax reforms and regulatory changes could challenge utilities' financials. Financial analysts say 2017 will likely be a challenging year for the power sector even as some companies do well since the financial and regulatory themes that play out over the next couple of years will not affect all equally.
The sector’s prospects, not surprisingly, will depend heavily on what happens in Washington where tax and regulatory reform is high on the agenda of both the Trump administration and the Republican-led Congress. President Donald Trump has promised to roll back the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan, which is designed to limit greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants, but has been under a stay from the Supreme Court for about a year. Reframing LCOE: New interactive tool expands the scope of generation cost comparisons. New research comparing the costs of generation resources has produced an interactive tool that analysts say gives some of the most granular insights available to the public today. Nearly everything there is to know about electricity, from consumer and generator economics to the impacts of pollutants that come with its generation, is covered in The Full Cost of Electricity (FCe-) from the University of Texas (UT) at Austin.
