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!!!

America’s Greatest Resource!

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

The economics are in your favor, right now!

THE ECONOMICS

NEW NUKE IS GOING TO BE FAR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SOLAR . . . FOR FAR LONGER . . .

Nuclear Power is ‘Base Load’ delivered for approximately $.04 per kWh

Vogtle 3&4 - $14,000,000,000 – 2,200 MW – 10+ Years to Build

2012$3.50 / Watt Installed

100KW = $350,000Generates 160,000 kWh/year

30 Year Generation = 4.8mCost Per kWh = $.09-$.11/kWh *

Delivered Cost Per Kilowatt hour (kWh) with incentives

* Assuming 30 years of operation, normal operational costs and capital at 6%.

Federal Incentive: 30% = -$1.05Depreciation: 25% = -$.875Final Cost Per Watt Installed: $1.58

Cost Per kWh over 30 Years = $.033/kWh

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
