4 Advanced Outdoor Training Facility for RE Professionals Completed Work on Residential Training Roof Facility To be used for Diploma Series and Dealer Trainings Working with industry to develop a commercial training roof by Q Dealer Training - SunPower Two 3-day PV installation workshops at the NCSC in June. They had participants per training session. SunPower designs, manufactures and delivers the highest efficiency solar electric technology worldwide. This national distributor will be conducting two workshops a month at NCSC for the remainder of the calendar year. 4
5 Energy Management Series Technical short courses and week-long Diploma Series on Energy Management for Facilities. Topics include: Air Compressors Chillers and Cooling Towers Compressed Air Systems Energy Efficient Lighting Energy Efficient Motors and VSD s HVAC Preventive Maintenance Steam Traps and Steam Systems And many others. NC Solar Center K-12 Programs Junior Solar Sprint-middle school students Students Making Advancements in Renewable Transportation Technologies (SMARTT) Challenge high school program Solar House tours Hands-on activities for camps Wind energy workshops for teachers Developing Solar Center kiosk in Wolflands in Second Life at NCSU Solar House will soon become a living green laboratory monitoring renewable energy technologies Mentoring a Keenan Fellow for STEM Education 5
6 Junior Solar Sprint Final Event at the Solar Center-2008 & SMARTT Challenge Final Event High School Students 21 schools, over 400 middle school students compete at the final event. Technical Assistance Site Assessments Completed thru Site Visits Performed June, 2008 Carolina Ice (Ice Production) City of Charlotte (Fire Stations) City of Raleigh (Community Centers) Pinehurst Solar (Solar Farm) Philip Hardison (Solar Farm) Practicon (Dental Supply) SYSCO (Food Services) EyeCareCenter (Optometry) Murphy-Brown Farms (Swine Farms) Always Herbs (Greenhouse) Austin Brown Farms (Hog Production) State of SC ((Governor s Mansion)) Buchanan Electric (Community Pool) Garden Market (Organic Grocery Store) NC Ports Authority (North Carolina Ports) Tariki Studios (Renovated Yarn Mill) SAS (Software Development) Secure Designs (Swim & Tennis Club) AlphaGary Corporation (Plastics) Continental-Teves (Brake Systems) Corning (Cable Systems) CV Products (Industrial Park) J.I.

7 Technical Assistance SAS Institute After an initial assessment led to plans to install a 1 MW Photovoltaic system, we performed a follow-up assessment for Solar Thermal in four additional SAS buildings. Proposal recommended 6760 ft 2 of SHW panels, totaling almost 2000 mmbtu/year. Technical Assistance City of Charlotte Fire Stations Performed a renewable energy assessment to assess the economic feasibility of incorporating Solar Thermal and Wind at two city fire stations. Solar Thermal would provide thermal energy for domestic water heating and Wind would generate electricity for the facility s electric load or for sale to electric utility. Potential Generating Capacity: 700 kwh/yr electric, 189 mmbtu/hr Thermal 7
8 Test Center for Solar Thermal and PV Equipment Certification Expanding and enclosing solar thermal test stand expected complete in September 2008 Five companies currently testing/demonstrating equipment plan to begin marketing facility at Solar Power 2008 in October Solar thermal test stand with Garage in background and PV system in foreground. Governor s Solar Initiative gosolarnc.org Completed targeted marketing study for solar thermal applications in the state Assistance in setting state solar thermal standards: Thermal Renewable Energy Credit document Training & Certification document Designed & built website 8
9 Solar ABCs Program The Solar America Board for Codes and Standards (Solar ABCs) is a collaborative effort among experts to formally gather and prioritize input from the broad spectrum of solar photovoltaic stakeholders including policy makers, manufacturers, installers, and consumers resulting in coordinated recommendations to codes and standards d making bodies for existing and new solar technologies. The U.S. Department of Energy funds Solar ABCs as part of its commitment to facilitate wide-spread adoption of safe, reliable, and cost-effective solar technologies. 18 (taken from IEEE s site at 9
10 Connecting to the Grid Newsletter Effective Interconnection Policy Sets fair fees that are proportional to project size Ensure policies are transparent, uniform, detailed and public Allows interconnected net-metered systems 2-MW and larger Adopt plug-and-play rules for residential and small commercial scale systems and expedited procedures for other systems Process applications quickly, using standardized and simplified forms Prohibit restrictive requirements i.e. additional insurance requirements, redundant external disconnect switch 10
