Go Solar (Going Green Tip #9)

Reason residential solar power installations haven’t picked up is because the companies that install these panels are worse than used car salesmen. Prime example is that none of the websites I have found can give me an close approximation of how much it will cost to get a 2.5Kw system installed on my roof. They want me to enter all kind of information so they can bug me by calling me and trying to rip me off by giving me all kind of nonsense. (actually I did enter the information in one site that promised me a quote and at the end what I got was a bunch of mombo jumbo and preaching that think of that you would be saving environment. Just give me the quote you $$%#%$# scammers. I don’t need your preaching.). Solar panel cost has gone down to earth yet these scammers still charge upward of 30K for installation that some people can do themselves.

“Examples of how they (and our complicit energy “experts”) have been “slowing the process” are:
(1) Renewable portfolio standards (RPS) which create de facto caps on the deployment of renewable energies. Here in Nevada, because of poor design, our utility went out and bought a ton of RE credits (RECs) (mostly from Idaho) such that they are now complainant with the state RPS through 2018 or so. (The Germans don’t have any RPSs. Their FIT program is open ended, the more capacity, the merrier!)
(2) Net-metering caps. Most states only allow a small percentage of one to two percent of peak load to be net-metered. There are exceptions however. Colorado, for example, has no aggregate capacity limit. However, most states do. In Nevada, it’s set at two percent. Net-metering, therefore, will certainly “hold back the clean energy tide.”
(3) The third party leasing rent-to-own outfits like Sungevity, but more importantly, Solarcity, which just went public with an IPO, fight tooth and nail to protect scarce capacity carveouts (from the state RPSs) so as to bolster their chosen business models as the expense of all others. The same goes for the utility-scale folks. The in-fighting, due in part to the small de facto caps of the RPSs, have significantly slowed the deployment of renewables in the U.S.
(4) Most importantly is how we connect distributed renewable energies to the grid in the U.S., the most salient difference between the American net-metering program and the German feed-in tariff is that net-metering is *retail* energy whereas the FIT is *wholesale* energy. Thus, net-metering does little more than offset onsite loads and in the process it shifts the rate burdens of lost customers onto other ratepayers. Those rate burdens also include all of the utility’s overhead as well since compensation is at the retail rate. A FIT, on the other hand, as wholesale energy feeds the energy directly into the electric grid, and because it is must take wholesale energy it must be used first, and in many cases it will off set more expensive energies found on the grid, such as peaker plant power,spinning reserves and so forth saving rate payers money.” Bob Tregilus.

How about you notify Mayor Ballard of solar power for moped espically on I.U.P.U.I. campus from me Max Lewandowski! Your more apt. to find correct e-mail address;www.house.gov/write rep attention congressman Dan Coats I have idea for city of Indianapoli,Indiana.Wish that you will contact Mayor Ballard to assist in any way S.B.L. through PACE finacing perhaps. Not to good on computer or typing so I hope this message arrive to your office from max_lewandowski@yahoo.com a U.S. Veteran!
