Solar Energy: A National Perspective Solar Power Goes Mainstream PV power is showing signs of going main- stream. After testing the waters in three San Diego, California, stores in September 2001, The Home Depot® expanded the number of stores selling residential solar- electric power systems, as well as the geographic locations where these stores are located. By August 2002, Home Depot® stores were selling and installing PV systems under its “At-Home Services” program. In addition to 18 stores in greater San Diego and 16 in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, Home Depot® stores throughout Long Island, New York, five stores in southern New Jersey, and four in Delaware were providing this solar product and service. The Home Depot® is extending two convenient financing options: The Home Depot® Consumer Credit Card and The Home Depot® Home Improvement Loan. Fueled by generous state rebates, a number of builders in California are building entire solar-powered communities. A few of these progressive homebuilders in California that offer solar-electric power as a standard feature are: Clarum Homes (Vista Montana in Watsonville, Shorebreeze IV in East Palo Alto), Premier Homes (Premier Point II in Lincoln), Standard Pacific (Maravu in San Diego), and US Home (Bickford Ranch in Placer County). In addition, Shea Homes is offering both solar-electric power and solar-thermal energy systems as standard features in its Scripps Highlands com- munities in San Diego. Homebuilders such as Clarum Homes and Shea Homes are now working with DOE’ s Zero Energy Homes teams to combine energy efficiency with solar energy and work toward the long-term goal of zero net energy use during the course of a year. The proposed Bickford Ranch community will be the largest grid-connected residential solar project in the country, with PV installed on 917 homes, community clubhouses, and main- tenance buildings. The plan also allows up to 83 neighboring homes to participate in the volume-discount PV purchase. Total peak energy production from the Bickford Ranch solar power systems is projected to be equivalent to a 2-megawatt power plant. 8 Solar Energy Technologies Program At the program level, a systems-driven approach helps identify common elements that impact R&D. For example, all solar technologies targeting central-station generation for “firm power” share similar assumptions about the value of dispatchability and the cost of competition in different regions. Applications integrated into building roofs or installed on roofs have common challenges in satisfying builder and owner preferences and in interconnecting with the utility system (if they generate electricity in grid-connected systems). At the technology level, a systems-driven approach can help identify common research concerns, avoid duplication of effort, and explore how advances in an area such as subsystems might change the assumptions or requirements for systems, applications, and markets. A national perspective on solar energy is inconsequential without specific actions to improve technologies, understand markets, evaluate policies, and work in partnership with stakeholders who purchase and incorporate solar energy systems into the U.S. energy economy. Those specifics are presented in the following sections of the DOE Solar Energy Technologies Program Multi- Year Technical Plan.PDF Image | Solar Energy Technologies Program
