What We Do…


What We Don’t Do…Yet


The Basic idea behind a crystalline solar cell:

The sun strikes the “p” layer of silicon and kicks an extra electron loose up to the “n” layer. Wires in the n layer collect the extra electrons, which then becomes electrical current.


Solar Power (PV) Basics

• Sunlight excites electrons

• Electron movement is current

• Inverter changes DC electricity to AC

• Power is used, stored, or fed back into grid


Typical Residential PV System

• 20 SolarWorld 250 Watt Panels

• 5 kW

• 6,000 kilowatt hours generated annually

• 3 day installation time

• $22,500 – complete turnkey, permits, wiring, conduit, disconnect

•$6,750 Federal Renewable Energy Tax Credit

• Other incentives depending on state and utility programs. Examples…


Urban Ecology Center, Milwaukee

256 Kyocera 175 watt panels, 44.4 KW


Aldo Leopold Legacy Center - Carbon Neutral, Zero Energy

39.6 kW – 198 Kyocera KC 200 (watt) GT panels

9 Aurora 3.6 kW grid tie inverters

Stoughton Utilities

34 Kyocera 200 watt panels

6.8 kW


Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV)


Pan Mount Roof Design


Arrays can also be mounted on the ground using racks anchored in concrete.


Solar Electric System Costs

• Roof Mount Systems: $4,500 - $6,000 per kilowatt • Grount Mount Systems: ~$8,000 per kilowatt • Tracking Systems$10,000 - $11,500 per

kilowatt

Solar Thermal/Hot Water System Costs

•Domestic Hot Water Only: $11,500- $15,000•Domestic Hot Water with

Heat Assist: $20,000 +


Solar Thermal/Hot Water Incentives

Wisconsin• Federal Renewable Energy 30% Tax Credit

• Focus on Energy – Ha! - $6.00 per therm generated

Illinois• 30% of project cost – Residential

• 40% of project cost – Commercial

Most incentives are performance based*One square foot of collector space ~2 therms per year
