The Future of Photovoltaics in the Carolinas
Commercial photovoltaic installations or solar electric
installations will now receive 65% tax credit in North Carolina. The
new legislation brings the ROI of a commercial photovoltaic system
to an average of 6.5 years. The tax credit is available for all
installations commissioned between Jan.1 2006 and Dec.31 2007.
Call SC Solar for more information.

10 KW Residential Photovoltaic System Startup in North Carolina
The largest grid inter-connected PV system in North Carolina was
commissioned in May 2005. The 10kw system consisted of 60 BP 170
watt panels, and 6 SMA-America Sunny Boy inverters. Engineering,
system design, pre-commissioning review and inspection, and system
commissioning services were performed by SC Solar. The customer was
delighted to see his electrical meter spinning backwards at 9:00 the
next morning.

At its meeting last week, the North Carolina Green Power board
discussed making the
process of signing up as a producer for the program easier for small
solar
generators. As a result, NC Green Power (NCGP) now allows small
solar
producers to participate as generators under the program without
going
through the formal Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The first RFP
has
already closed and it is uncertain when the next one will be issued
since it
depends on demand from subscribers. Normally, anyone wanting to
apply would
have to wait for the next RFP and would have to prepare and submit a
formal
proposal.
The new ruling by the board means that residential and small
business
producers who put power on the grid after Jan. 1, 2001 can now apply
at any
time with minimal paperwork to receive the current $0.18 per kWh
NCGP
premium in addition to the avoided cost paid by the utility company.
Presently, a generator would receive a set premium for at least five
years,
so long as the program is in effect. NCGP is looking for additional
solar
generators, so if you are interested in participating, contact SC
Solar.
