5. Benefits of Renewable Energy • Economic Benefits • Reduce operating costs by offsetting electric use. • Generate income through SREC’s (Solar Renewable Energy Credits- $500-$650/credit): • Each time a solar photovoltaic system generates 1000kWh (1MWh) of electricity, an SREC is issued which can then be sold or traded independent of the power generation. • Example: 100KW~ 100SRECs or $50,000 value • Environmental Benefits • Reduce fossil fuel consumption and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. • Social Benefits • Educate students, staff, and parents on renewable energy. • Integrate lessons into science, math, and environmental studies.

6. What is Driving the Renewable Energy Market in New Jersey • NJ Renewable Portfolio Standard: • requires 22.5% of NJ Power be provided by renewable sources by 2021. • Annual percentage increases 2.12% each year to meet goal. • Specific In-State solar set aside requires 2.5GW by 2021 & 5.3GW by 2026. • Penalties applied for every kW not met. • Current Penalty is $711/kW http://www.dsireusa.org

7. Factors Influencing Photovoltaic System Design • Solar orientation • Obstructions (trees, adjacent high walls, chimneys, water towers) • Roof top equipment, vents, conduits, etc. • 10’ perimeter clearance for roof edge fall protection • Exist’g roof structure support/condition of roof system • Wind uplift requirements

8. Factors Influencing Photovoltaic System Design • PV panel arrangement – • Minimum 300 sf per panel group • 7 panels wide by 4 rows deep minimum • Allow for firefighter access • Racking system – ballasted system eliminates roof penetrations & allows for easy removal/re-roofing • Educational/ PR use of energy production information • Web based platform for use in curriculum and district website • Kiosks in public spaces
