Feed In Transportation Making electricity worth 4 times more. Germany has used a Feed In Tariff to make them the fastest growing solar country in the world. Incentive to install PV solar systems Production-based incentive pays 8 times more than they charge you Americans can use Feed In Transportation to take 80 cents (10 Kwh) of electricity to displace about 300 cents (one gallon) worth of gasoline. Using a grid-tied PV system to charge a vehicle eliminates pollution and the electricity is FREE after the system has paid for itself !
Solar PV system • When you add a Solar Electric PV system in Arizona you get about 80% in incentives to install the system. • You also get standard Net-Metering for any excess electric you make. • So size the as big as you can get for the incentives. Then you can power your home and plug-in vehicle !
Plug-in Vehicles • Electric vehicles are very efficient >85% • New lithium batteries are non toxic, very safe and long lasting. (10-12 years) • It takes 10 KwH (80 cents) of electricity to go as far as a gallon of gas (30-40 miles). • There are options to make any full Hybrid (like Prius) run as a part electric vehicle.
PLUG IN HYBRID • The plug in hybrid option is very affordable and can do anything from a local trip to cross country.

Excess electricity produced at night must be shunted to ground if it’s not used. • Utilities reduce cost and don’t need to add a single power plant if we plug in Off Peak
More PLUG IN options • Soon smart metering will let you know when to charge at super low rates. • Some vehicles have V2G, Vehicle to GRID. This lets you charge off peak, sell on peak and even run your home or small company off your vehicle ! • V2G may even pay you to just be plugged in. Our vehicles sit 20-24 hours a day.
