1 Template Solar Ordinance for North Carolina Tommy Cleveland, PE NC Clean Energy Technology Center
2 NC Clean Energy Technology Center (formerly NC Solar Center) Overview Created in 1988 as a resource for renewable energy programs and information, training, technical assistance and applied research Operated by the College of Engineering at N.C. State University Funded by the N.C. Department of Commerce (State Energy Office), and other federal and state grants Major Program Areas: Renewable Energy Clean Power & Efficiency Clean Transportation Economic Development Energy Policy Workforce Development Education & Outreach
3 Outline Solar Development in NC Planning/Zoning for Solar NC Template Solar Ordinance History Content Future
4 Solar Development in NC
5 Solar Panels Thermal Heats water instead of creating electricity Slightly thicker panels than PV Photovoltaic (PV) Converts sunlight into electricity Aka Modules
6 Nation s Largest Solar Thermal System is in St. Pauls, NC Hot water for Prestage chicken processing plant 7-acre system, 2,100 panels Nine x 25,000 gallon solar tanks No capital expense from Prestage FLS will sell solar energy at lower rate than propane, over 20% savings FLS selling RECs to utility
7 PV Examples 1. Residential Rooftop 5 kw ~20 modules 2. Commercial Rooftop 900 kw ~4,000 modules ~5 acres 3. Utility Ground-mount 6.4 MW (DC), 5 MW (AC) 26,600 PV modules ~30 acres of land Source: North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center Source: Strata Solar

12 NC Solar PV Drivers NC Renewable Energy Tax Credit: Tax credit of 35% of system cost, requires NC tax liability to use Expires end of year Fixed Price Utility Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) for PV systems up to 5MW (AC) Federal law (PURPA) requires utilities to purchase renewable electricity, state utilities commission sets rules such as length of PPA contract and maximum system capacity Kick-Started by NC REPS Law in % Property Tax abatement Federal: 30% tax credit (2016) and Accelerated (5-yr) Depreciation See for more information on incentives
