Yeloha/community solar hosting proposal

[Dana Dorsett]

Hi UU-greenteam,

 

I pushed the ball forward a bit for a preliminary proposal from Yeloha for hosting a communty solar project (see the attached document).  If we accepted their sketched-out plan the UUCW would get about 6000kwh per year off the power bill (worth about $1500 at this year's ~25 cents/kwh delivered rate, $1200 at recent years' ~20 cent pricing.)  Not big money, but very low risk, with no up-front investment.

 

A few issues would have to be spelled out about liablity for roof leaks, etc, and it would be prudent to insist on ballasted racking rather than bolted-down racking on the flat roof portion (assuming it's acceptable to use that leak-prone bit of roof.) 

 

The cost of putting it up is $0, and all the system monitoring/maintenance is on their plate, which makes managing it a bit easier- we don't have to get into the utility business. They will own the system, there is not a guaranteed option to buy (but in the world of business everything is negotiable, if that ever becomes desirable.)  There may be other solar companies with community solar propositions & lease-to-own options, but this is a pretty clean & simple model to work with, and comes with no financial committment/risk.

 

If anybody wants to meet to discuss this or other potential solar options I'm available most evenings between 7:30-9:30PM during the week, and sometimes during weekends.

Dana,

Thanks so much for moving this forward!  I’ve been inactive on this issue, but I know Mara and John have been involved, and I imagine Nancy and Kim have been involved.

All: What’s the next step?

Lance
