Given the high number of multifamily facilities across California, the state's Virtual Net Energy Metering (NEM-V) tariff is an important and underutilized policy, with only 150 NEM-V projects installed to date within the service territories of California's three main investor-owned utilities. In her presentation, Erica McConnell explores current barriers to adoption, recent pilot efforts underway as part of the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Market Pathways effort, and strategies to expand solar access to more Californians using NEM-V.
Shared solar (aka community solar) solar has the attention of states, regulatory commissions, and utilities across the country. Best practices and success stories are emerging, but the market still remains relatively small. What's more, as the model gains traction, this relatively new sector of the solar industry is meeting new growing pains. In her presentation at Intersolar North America 2016, Erica McConnell shares what's happening across several states to scale the model to reach more consumers and new markets, including low-income customers.
As states and utilities grapple with increasing penetrations and continued growth of solar, storage and other distributed energy resources the fundamentals of grid access and interconnection of distributed energy resources are under revision. Implementing more proactive and integrated distribution planning (IDP) protocols and more sophisticated interconnection processes can maximize the benefits of distributed energy resources. In her presentation, Sky Stanfield takes an in-depth look at state ‘grid modernization' regulatory reforms underway and provides a national perspective on emerging best practices, extant barriers, and cutting-edge innovations.
Shared solar is one option for energy consumers who want to benefit from the sun's power but don't have the rooftop for it. Only about 25 percent of residential rooftops are capable of hosting solar generation systems. IREC has helped develop shared solar programs across the country. Hear from Erica McConnell about what's working and what’s on the next horizon.

This document discusses shared solar programs and their growth in the United States. Shared solar programs allow individuals who are unable to install solar panels on their own property to purchase a portion of energy from a shared off-site solar facility. The document outlines the principles and critical elements of successful shared solar programs, including how to allocate benefits to participants and value the energy produced. It also shows the growth of shared solar programs between 2006 and 2014, with more programs expected in states like Minnesota, Washington DC, and California. The document concludes by discussing policy considerations around maximizing grid benefits and reaching more low-income consumers through financing opportunities.
The solar market is an increasingly important and vital part of the American economy. What are the trends in this market, and what forces are at work? Which sectors of the market are strongest, and why? What are the prospects for solar energy in the near future? Larry Sherwood, principal author and IREC vice president/COO, presents results from the U.S. Solar Market Trends: 2014.
This document summarizes key points from a presentation on fair compensation for distributed solar generation. It shows that distributed solar provides benefits by offsetting natural gas power and reducing costs. It also outlines several state regulatory proceedings that are examining the costs and benefits of net metering programs and developing valuation methodologies to properly compensate for the value provided by distributed solar. The presentation concludes by providing contact information for the speaker if more information is desired.
IREC's President/CEO, Jane Weissman, presents a high level-view of what's likely to come your way in 2015 – regulatory and quality workforce development issues and trends in the limelight now, and how they directly or ultimately affect the solar market.
It's happening. States are already considering updates to their procedures following FERC's (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) significant modifications to the federal Small Generator Interconnection Procedures late in 2013. Sky Stanfield, Keyes, Fox & Wiedman LLP, discusses how interconnection is changing in response to FERC's order. What are the forthcoming innovations that move beyond the issues FERC addressed?
Sara Baldwin Auck, IREC's director of regulatory programs, offers a nutritional primer on the regulatory actions leading state's are taking now and considering for the future, and which best practices other states are looking at to meet solar's growing needs.
This document discusses credentials in clean energy fields and quality indicators for certificate programs. It provides an overview of different types of credentials like certification and licensure. Quality indicators for certificate programs include input from stakeholders, alignment of objectives and assessments, qualified faculty, and program evaluation. National trends favor industry-linked, competency-based credentials. The IREC accreditation provides third-party validation of clean technology training programs and confirms the training matches industry competencies. IREC accreditation signals a program's technical expertise and is valued by employers and government agencies.
The solar market, although relatively young, is an increasingly important and vital part of the American economy. What are the trends in this market, and what forces are at work? Which sectors of the market are strongest, and why? What are the prospects for solar energy in the near future? This session presented the results from the recently published IREC Report, U.S. Solar Market Trends 2012.
As the industry grows, employers need to be able to hire people who have been taught the skills they need on the job. Top quality training providers distinguish themselves by achieving an IREC credential and, through this process, demonstrate that the results of their training bring value to students, employers and the market. To the hiring manager and to the worker, IREC credentials matter and can be leveraged to bolster successful hiring practices.
Current interconnection processes are no longer keeping pace with the rapid expansion of renewable energy markets in key regions of the country. These inadequacies are resulting in multi-year delays before solar and other renewable energy projects are interconnected, which is significantly slowing solar market expansion. IREC has participated in the development and updating of interconnection procedures in over two dozen states and at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Sky discussed the latest approaches that are being deployed in interconnection processes to keep pace with solar market growth.
A growing number of utilities are calling for reform or abolition of net metering. They call it a “free ride” to use utility wires and not pay for the service. IREC, along with other non-profits and the solar industry, know net metering can be fair and balanced. It provides benefits that outweigh utility costs in most cases, particularly by deferring new utility construction. It's a hot button topic. A rundown of what's happening in key states, including a deeper analysis of the issue and insight into how to achieve a fair valuation of all of net metering's benefits, was covered by Jason to standing-room crowds
In areas with robust distributed generation (DG) growth, applications to interconnect new solar systems have overwhelmed utility interconnection processes and caused project delays and, in some cases, prohibitive cost increases. To better facilitate interconnection of high penetrations of DG, some utilities are beginning to consider approaches to proactively study distribution circuits in an effort to determine their hosting capacities in advance. Sky discussed a concept paper IREC released this year that discusses proactive planning efforts that are being contemplated or implemented by utilities across the United States.
Not all energy consumers can participate in net metering and other on-site generation programs. According to a government study, only about 25 percent of residential rooftops are capable of hosting solar generation systems. Shared renewable energy programs, including shared solar, are one option for meeting the needs of the rest of the market. Erica Schroeder McConnell discussed the latest insights into best practices in shared renewable energy, based on IREC's work developing shared solar programs in Delaware, Colorado and California.
Investments in training and development of employees can make them more productive and more effective in their jobs, directly contributing to the bottom line. Studies have shown that a well-trained workforce leads to lower employee turnover, which is associated with higher customer satisfaction, which in turn is a driver of profitability. Learn what the Solar Instructor Training Network (SITN), a DOE SunShot initiative, is doing to help establish a well-trained workforce in support of the solar industry. Find-out how IREC, as National Administrator of the SITN, is providing the building blocks in support of solar training that will help companies maintain a competitive advantage.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
