Virtual Net Metering & Shared Solar: National Perspective
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: National Overview
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.
State Approaches to DERs: Skilled Ringmaster Required
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.

6 Trends to Watch for in 2015
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.
What's Next in Interconnection?
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?
Credible Credentials: Coming of Age
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.
IREC's Annual Solar Market Trends Report
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.
Why Market-Valued Credentials Matter
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.
Interconnection Issues at Higher Penetrations
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.
The Future of Net Metering
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
Improving Interconnection: Integrated Distribution Planning
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.
Shared Solar Programs: Growing the Market
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.

DOE's Solar Instructor Training Network: Building Today's Clean Energy Workforce
- 1. IREC Annual Meeting October 11,2010 Workforce Development: “Building Today's Clean Energy Workforce” 5 – Year Cooperative Agreement (Starting 10/10) Overarching Goal: “The primary goal of this project is to help facilitate and support the creation of a well-trained and highly-qualified solar energy workforce of sufficient size and diversity to meet the projected needs of this country by working closely with the nine Regional Training Providers (RTPs) and necessary stakeholders in a highly-coordinated effort.”
- 2. Mission Statement: “To promote the development of quality training at the local level to meet solar market needs.” Guiding Principles 1) Provide training where training is needed. 2) Expand the types of training currently being offered at each RTP to include code and building officials, inspectors, and firefighters. 3) Ensure that the type of training programs offered at each RTP is consistent with industry standards, and establishing a mechanism for continually updating training that mirrors changes in solar technology and applications. 4) Ensure training programs do not out-grow industry demand -- in other words, seek responsible growth.
- 3. Guiding Principles Continued 5) Integrate solar training standards and curriculum into the existing educational and workforce infrastructure. 6) Provide a forum where each RTP can flourish in a way that builds on their strengths. 7) Provide a means for the RTPs to share their strongest qualities among the group including the sharing of innovative training practices. 8) Establish strong ties among the training providers and workforce investment boards (WIBs) and agencies.
