  1. Solar Energy : Here Comes the Sun!!! June 28, 2012

  2. Hannah Solar Story • 5-year-old Renewable Energy Solutions Provider • Installed over 7 MW of solar capacity • Largest and Highest Commercial Roof Mounted array in Georgia • Our team has 100 + years combined experience in the energy, electrical and construction industries • Services include turnkey installation of roof, ground and tracking solar arrays as well as critical back-up power and EV charging infrastructure.

  3. My Story • University of Georgia Class of 2009 • Work History • Insurance Payment Policy Management Company • Hannah Solar • Business Development – 1 Year mark last week • Collaborated on nearly 25 Solar Projects • Help companies and individuals hedge their energy costs for the future by owning their own utility

  4. Common Solar Myths… • Solyndra means bankruptcy for the entire industry… • Different technology which couldn’t compete • My lights will go out if it’s cloudy! • 98% Grid – tied • Solar is a fad… • FedEx, UPS, eBay, Hewlett Packard Google, Apple and the U.S. Air Force Nellis Air Force Base 14 MW!!!

  5. America’s Greatest Resource!

  6. Solar Saves Us All Money! • Energy prices are most expensive when demand is highest • June – September 2pm – 7pm • Solar energy production is highest during these peak demand times • Solar reduces customer demand for the utility’s peak (most expensive) power which makes energy less expensive for all ratepayers

  7. Solar - We Will Lead! THE ECONOMICS The economics are in your favor, right now!

  8. Solar - We Will Lead! NEW NUKE IS GOING TO BE FAR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SOLAR . . . FOR FAR LONGER . . . Vogtle 3&4 - $14,000,000,000 – 2,200 MW – 10+ Years to Build Nuclear Power is ‘Base Load’ delivered for approximately $.04 per kWh

  9. Solar - We Will Lead! SOLAR & NUCLEAR COSTS – HISTORIC CROSSOVER Dr. John O. Blackburn & Sam Cunningham NC WARN: Waste Awareness & Reduction Network (July 2010)

  10. Solar - We Will Lead! Delivered Cost per Kilowatt Hour (kWh) without incentives 2007 $8 /Watt Installed 100KW = $800,000 Generates 160,000 kWh/year 30 Year Generation = 4.8m Cost Per kWh = $.19/kWh * 2009 $6.25 /Watt Installed 100KW = $625,000 Generates 160,000 kWh/year 30 Year Generation = 4.8m Cost Per kWh = $.15/kWh * 2012 $3.50 /Watt Installed 100KW = $350,000 Generates 160,000 kWh/year 30 Year Generation = 4.8m Cost Per kWh = $.09/kWh * $450,000 (56%) price reduction in 5 years! * Assumes 30 years of operation & maintenance and capital at 6%.

  11. Solar - We Will Lead! Delivered Cost Per Kilowatt hour (kWh) with incentives 2012 $3.50 / Watt Installed 100KW = $350,000 Generates 160,000 kWh/year 30 Year Generation = 4.8m Cost Per kWh = $.09-$.11/kWh * Federal Incentive: 30% = -$1.05 Depreciation: 25% = -$.875 Final Cost Per Watt Installed: $1.58 Cost Per kWh over 30 Years = $.033/kWh * Assuming 30 years of operation, normal operational costs and capital at 6%. Solar Has Reached Grid Parity!

  12. Solar Options 200 kW Ground Mount 1 355 kw Roof Mount HP 2 3 4 12 Panel Tracker Lanier Tech 30 kW Solar Canopy LOHR

  13. Hewlett Packard Data Center • 355 kW Ballasted Flat Roof Array Panel Claw – Andover, Massachusetts • 1,420 Mono-Crystalline Solar Panels Suniva - Norcross, Georgia • Industrial Grade Inverter PV Powered – Portland, Oregon • 21 days to install with local labor and electrical work • Grid-Tied System on Georgia Power

  14. Hewlett Packard Data Center • Array will produce 17,000,000 kWh over 30 yrs. • That is $.033 / kWh hedged for 30 years VS. peak rates of $.36 per kWh and RISING!!! • 30 years of Savings: $2 - $5 M

  15. 100 kW Solar Array in Georgia 3 Year Cost Recovery!!!

  16. Thank You Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce!
