• A paper titled “Urban Scale Solar” was drafted last November. As a result, a new program—Solar Powers America—was announced and introduced to the MSR participants at the Annual Meeting on October 8, 2005. Future Directions • Million Solar Roofs will transition into the Solar Powers America Program in FY 2006. • Solar Powers America will focus on incorporation of solar technologies into local infrastructure- planning exercises, and will allow for more than just building applications. • Solar Powers America expects to make fewer grant awards for larger sums of money. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Introduction The objective of the Million Solar Roofs Initiative is to facilitate the installation of solar energy systems (PV, solar domestic water, pool heating, and solar thermal heating) on all types of buildings throughout the United States. The initiative supports the development of local and regional markets for solar technologies by working with states and local communities to address and remove institutional barriers. MSR activities are essential components of the DOE Solar Program Systems-Driven Approach, which considers deployment an integral part of the sequence from basic research through market conditioning. In addition to helping create markets, MSR has provided the R&D program with critical feedback on performance and consumer preferences. 2. Technical Approach To achieve its objective, MSR works through a nationwide network of officially designated Partnerships and their local partners. Businesses, utilities, government agencies, and/or advocacy groups interested in official Partnership status must commit to facilitating the installation of a specified number of “solar roofs” by 2010. These Partnerships use a variety of means to build markets in their local communities, including: identifying and addressing local barriers; using solar technologies to meet important public policy goals; leveraging state and local incentives for solar; and educating the next generation of consumers and their parents. The hallmarks of MSR’s technical approach in FY 2005 involved: (1) providing Partnerships with access to small grants to support market development in their communities; (2) providing individualized technical assistance (TA) to Partners on request by their participating members; (3) directing market studies based on Photovoltaic R&D Technology Development needs identified by multiple participants; (4) sharing information on a regular, routine basis through a host of forums and communication media; and (5) functioning as a feedback link between the Solar Program’s laboratory-based R&D and the real-world experiences of solar technology owners. 2.1 Technical Assistance to MSR Participants MSR, with support from NREL and SNL, offers all Partnerships access to individualized TA, along with directed market studies. The assistance is often delivered on site in the field and represents the “Cadillac” of service delivery. To amortize the costs, and consistent with its information sharing approach, MSR posts the written TA reports on its Web site for all participants to use. Most economic analysis is subcontracted by NREL to Segue Consulting, the principal of which developed an analytical tool that captures the value (versus cost) of solar technology, known as the ASSET Databank. 2.2 Information Sharing With support from IREC, MSR provided opportunities for information sharing by: (1) hosting at least one peer exchange (per DOE region) among Partners, selected MSR Team members, and guest experts, as requested by the Partners; (2) arranging conference call seminars on subjects of interest to MSR Partners; (3) hosting an annual meeting, held in conjunction with the ASES Conference; and (4) managing a dynamic Web site that posts valuable information for use by the Partnerships (postings include TA reports, analytical briefs, and [with permission] papers on topics of interest to MSR Partners and affiliates); and (5) preparing the MSR Metrics report to examine inputs, outputs, and outcomes from1997–2003/4. Web site maintenance, meetings and conference call seminars’ development, and metrics are subcontracted to IREC, an organization 92PDF Image | DOE Solar Energy Technologies Program
