  7. BENEFITS OF GOING SOLAR • Knowing our rates for the next 20 years. • Approximately $40,000 dollars in rebates every year for the next 5 years from PG&E. Total of $200,000. • Shade structures at all sites at no additional cost. • Kwh credit – 1 kw produced we get 1.2 kw credit. • If PG&E rates continues their 5% avg. increase. • After 20 Years the payment to Conergy is eliminated and now PG&E is reduced by 85%. • Total Estimated net savings over 30 year expected life is over $6.5 Million!

  8. Conclusion! • $2,400,000 project (No Cost) • 20 year warranty (No Cost) • Shade structures (No Cost) • How many school districts can claim their schools generate 95% of their own energy • Everything is still negotiable at this time. • The money that is currently going to PG&E could be invested into our own school district. • 85% off the grid in 20 years. • Helping to save the environment 1 school district at a time! • The bottom line is the money we are paying PG&E is going to what?

  9. Recommendations • I am recommending we move forward with this contract on the next board meeting. • This is just an update, I am not asking for any votes. • Please e-mail me or call me if you have any other questions or info needed before next board meeting.
