PV 913: Commercial Solar Economics & Financing 
Jun 6 2008, 9am-5pm

 

 

This rigorous interactive workshop is designed to help commercial systems integrators (dealers, installers, and salespeople) understand and make the financial case for commercial PV systems in PG&E, SCE, or SDG&E utilities (depending on location), then understand how to finance them with PPAs and Leases.

This class includes:

• Economics of commercial & municipal systems, including the additional incentives (tax credits, RECs, PBIs, depreciation), and utility tariff options (including TOU and demand charge rate choices)
• PPAs: Understanding the basics, subtleties, complexities, risks, and opportunities
• Leases: Understanding the 4 major types, how and when they are used
• A short list of financing providers who specialize in solar

 

Optional: Bring a laptop computer (Mac or PC) and a real-world example for the end-of-day interactive session. All students will receive a demo copy of the OnGrid Tool (license agreement required).
