Joy hughes open standards for shared renewablesJoy Hughes
The recent announcement by Tesla Motors that their patents would be released as open source has put the spotlight on open source and open standards within the renewable energy industry. Open source and open standards play a huge role in the computer and Internet industries. Just think of the impact of the open source architecture of the PC and the open communication standard HTML. Google built its business on the open source Apache server and the open source Android operating system. In the solar industry, Tioga Energy released an open source solar power purchase agreement. Could open standards and open source benefit the shared and community solar industry segment?
Community associations play a vital role in protecting a homeowner’s investment in their residence and property. In the case of solar energy, association covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) and architectural guidelines can dissuade some owners from pursuing an opportunity to enhance the value of their property while reaping important environmental benefits. Recognizing this, many state legislatures have enacted “solar rights” policies limiting associations’ ability to prohibit or restrict solar energy devices. Often, these state-level provisions are a necessary, but not in themselves sufficient, means of ensuring homeowners have access to solar energy and its benefits. Fortunately, there are a number of relatively simple actions an association can take to encourage solar development without further ceding their authority to impose and enforce rules designed to protect the value and quality of the communities they govern. This guide, written for association boards of directors and architectural review committees, discusses the advantages of solar energy and examines the elements of state solar rights provisions designed to protect homeowner access to these benefits. It then presents a number of recommendations associations can use to help bring solar to their communities, including: (1) improving processes and rules through understanding the technical aspects of solar energy and how restrictions can negatively affect a system’s performance; (2) improving the clarity and specificity of association solar guidelines and making them easily accessible to homeowners, and; (3) convening stakeholder meetings to produce practical guidelines that accurately reflect the needs and values of the community.

US solar PPA / leasing sector - research summaryHarald Överholm
How can innovative sustainable technologies be spread to make an impact on global warming and resource scarcity? This research deals with how business model innovation can contribute to the take-up of sustainable technologies. Property owners who would otherwise consider installing solar panels have been put off by the up-front costs and
the steep learning curve involved. So a new type of firm has emerged that provides a ‘solar service’ to residential customers - the firm builds, owns and maintains the solar panels and sells the electricity back to the property owner.
Solar service and third-party (PPA) financing ventures in the US - research s...Harald Överholm
Business model innovation can help spread clean technologies. This work uses the market for small-scale solar financing, in which firms build, own and maintain solar panels for end-customers, as an empirical example. These ventures (called solar service or third party solar financing ventures) have an intermediary role between solar panel manufacturers and end-customers, and have opened up new solar markets. In other burgeoning markets the business model is applied to new technologies. This research provides insights for new ventures seeking to use the business model, manufacturers looking to sell to similar markets, and policy-makers encouraging their growth.
Overview of Utility Challenges and Responses to Distributed Solar EnergyScottMadden, Inc.
Utility planning is changing with the rapid growth of distributed solar in certain markets. Over the long term, market fundamentals favor the continued growth of distributed solar energy. This will access business and operational challenges for utilities. This insight outlines strategies utilities can deploy to successfully incorporate distributed solar energy into their business model or generation portfolio.
In September 2014, The Solar Foundation released a report entitled Brighter Future: A Study on
Solar in U.S. Schools. This seminal report found that 3,727 public and private K-12 schools in
the nation have solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, with a combined capacity of 490 megawatts
(MW). This report, released in August 2015, builds on that work and further examines the current state and potential for solar on K-12 schools in Maryland. Chief among the report's findings is that 1,867 public and private K-12 schools in the state could cost-effectively deploy solar energy systems.
Solar employment in North Carolina grew from 3,100 in 2013 to 5,600 in 2014, adding over 200 jobs per month between November 2013 and November 2014. At over 80 percent year-over-year growth, the North Carolina solar industry grew nearly 40 times faster than overall employment in the state.

Transit-Oriented Development Study Working Group Meeting
Fact Sheet: Local Governments & Bulk Purchasing of Solar Energy Systems
1. www.TheSolarFoundation.org January 17, 2013
Local Governments and Bulk Purchasing of Solar Energy Systems
What is Bulk Purchasing?
As with most consumer goods, the bulk purchasing of solar energy equipment and installation services provides an
opportunity for homeowners, businesses, and local governments to drive down the cost of their investment. In recent years,
local governments across the U.S. have increasingly made use of two bulk purchasing models with great success.
Collaborative Procurement
By coordinating solar procurement efforts across public agencies, educational organizations, and jurisdictions within the
same region, local governments can reduce the up-front cost of solar energy systems installed on public structures or other
properties. In addition to providing an opportunity to negotiate volume discounts, collaborative procurement also allows for
bundling sites together based on the size of the system to be installed at each location. Such bundling can reduce solar
installation labor costs, as installers can more efficiently allocate their time.
Solarize Campaigns
Local governments can also help promote and aggregate demand for solar among
residents and business owners within their jurisdiction by using community interest to
negotiate volume discounts for “Solarize” program participants. To date, there have
been several examples of successful Solarize campaigns that have developed a
simplified solar purchasing process at reduced costs for participants. These campaigns
typically consist of five main phases: (1) Installer Selection, during which the local
government solicits competitive bids from installers and selects the firm(s) with which it
wishes to partner; (2) Marketing & Enrollment, in which local government
representatives, community members, opinion leaders, and installers hold open
workshops to educate the community on the program and its benefits; (3) Enrollment,
in which interested consumers sign up for the program; (4) Site Assessment, wherein
the installer determines which enrollees’ properties are suitable for solar, and; (5)
Decision & Installation, where the property owner makes a final decision whether to
purchase a system and the system is installed.1
What are the Benefits?
The benefits2
of Collaborative Procurement center primarily on providing significant cost reductions in the following areas:
1) Energy Costs – Bundling sites together based on scale can provide program participants with discounts on system
equipment and installation services of between 10 and 15 percent
2) Administrative Costs – When a number of communities or agencies work together to procure solar, the amount of time
(and therefore cost) required from each participant is reduced. One collaborative procurement program in California’s
Silicon Valley cut administrative costs for its participants by between 75 and 90 percent.
Through the Solarize campaign in Beaverton,
Oregon, bulk purchasing together with federal
and state incentives saved participants as
much as 80% on the cost of going solar.11

Street NW, Suite 800 Washington, DC 20004 (202) 469-3750 www.TheSolarFoundation.org
The benefits of Solarize Campaigns include:
1) Lower Upfront Costs – Combining volume discounts with federal and local incentives can deliver significant cost savings.
In addition, Solarize Campaigns can reduce customer acquisition costs, which account for nearly 11 percent of a PV
system’s non-hardware soft costs.3
2) Reduce Process Complexity – Solar customers may be overwhelmed by the various options when considering the
installation of a solar PV system. Solarize campaigns are designed to simplify the process and vet potential installers,
which offers participants at least some level of consumer protection.4
3) Overcome Customer Inertia – Enrollment periods typically last between three and six months. Making participation in
the campaign a limited-time offer encourages consumers to “act now” to take advantage of program cost savings.
4) Leverage Community Involvement – Much of the success of these campaigns is due to the grassroots nature of the
Solarize model. Involving local officials, community members, and opinion leaders can greatly increase participation,
which in turn lowers acquisition costs.
5) Improve Access to Information – Despite record solar industry growth and increased popularity, there is still confusion
among the general population regarding the economic and environmental benefits of solar energy, and on the existing
incentives and programs that make it easier for people to go solar. The educational workshops included in many Solarize
campaigns help reduce these solar information gaps.5
Examples
Collaborative Procurement
The Silicon Valley Collaborative Renewable Energy Procurement Project (SV-REP) resulted in the installation of over 14
megawatts (MW) of solar energy capacity across 70 sites - including rooftop, carport, and ground-mounted solar
photovoltaic (PV) systems located at fire stations, libraries, and office buildings.6
Following SV-REP’s success, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments partnered with Optony, Inc.
(the technical adviser for SV-REP) to develop the Metro DC Clean Energy Collaborative Procurement Initiative. Still in
development, this program has attracted nearly three dozen participating entities representing approximately 176 potential
solar sites.7
In addition, Meister Consultants Group, Inc., is developing a collaborative procurement program for the
Merrimack Valley Planning Commission in Massachusetts.8
Solarize Campaigns
Solarize Portland served as the model for many subsequent campaigns. Started as a grassroots effort in Portland, Oregon,
this recurring campaign has added over 1.7 MW of PV systems to 560 homes, while driving down prices by more than 30%
and creating over 50 clean energy jobs. The number of non-Solarize installations also increased in the city, demonstrating
that the program has helped create sustained local demand for solar beyond the Solarize Campaign.9
More recently, The
Massachusetts Clean Energy Center launched the Solarize Mass program, which resulted in 162 installations across four
Massachusetts communities. A unique feature of this program was its tiered pricing structure - when more customers
participated in the program, cost savings increased. This tiered pricing system provided an incentive for participants to
encourage their neighbors to join. The successful initial pilot program expanded to seventeen additional communities in
2012.10
