7. PV Roofs PV Modules Technology Monocrystalline Polycrystalline Amorphous Industry Goal Efficiency 15-18% 13-15% 5-8% 25% Notes: Highest market share, highest cost Lower cost, gaining in efficiency Lower cost, leading thin film candidate Where PV manufacturers want to be by 2015 Source: http://www.pvresources.com

8. PV Roofs Balance of System (B.O.S.) Key Components –Mounting Systems –Wiring & Connectors –Controllers (Energy Management) –Inverters (DC to AC) –Batteries (Reserve Energy) –Load Connection (Building / Grid) Account for over 30% of total PV material costs

9. PV Roofs Services Key Components –Design (Electrical, Structural, Architectural) –Financing (Power Purchase Agreements, Underwriting) –Legal (Special Entities, Operating Contracts) –Installation (Roofing, PV System, Electrical) –Operation (Monitoring, Power Billing, Incentive Management) –Maintenance (Inspection, Repair) Account for over 30% of total PV installed costs Typically provided by a System Integrator

10. PV Roofs Residential / Commercial Systems Residential Systems –From 1.5 KW to 6 KW total output –From $15,000 to $60,000 installed cost –Frequently not tied directly to the grid –Usually purchased and financed by the homeowner Commercial Systems –From 0.5 MW to 2 MW total output –From $3.25 MM to $13 MM installed cost –Frequently tied directly to the grid –Usually purchased and financed by a “Special Purpose Entity”

13. PV Roofs PV Roof System Types Non-Integrated –Mounted on framing over roof –Similar to other roof-mounted equipment Integrated –Physically incorporated into the roof system –Performing some roofing function along with power generation

14. PV Roofs Non-Integrated PV Roof Systems Benefits: Can be tilted to align with sun’s angle Wiring can be placed above roof for easy access Long performance track record with conventional silicon modules Limitations: Anchorage may require extensive penetration of roof Wind uplift resistance may be a concern May be difficult to maintain and service the underlying roof

16. PV Roofs Integrated PV Roof Systems Benefits: Reduced material costs for framing Reduced labor costs Limitations: Typically restricted to angle of roof – may compromise output Wiring may penetrate the roof membrane Roof traffic may damage panels Heat build-up may damage underlying roof membrane The thin films frequently used in integrated PV have a relatively short performance record compared to conventional solar modules

17. PV Roofs What are the Economics? PV manufacturing costs appear to be moving down, especially thin-film Central power costs are increasing, especially peak demand energy Subsidies and incentives for PV appear to be increasing, especially at the state and local level Currently, PV roofing is not economical across the United States, but…

25. Benefits:Current Limitations: Clean energy generated Peak energy demands reduced PV Roofs Overall Benefits & Limitations Significant incentives required to achieve “grid parity” Financing is very complicated and expensive Maintenance: Increasing roof traffic. Leak detection may be difficult Durability: Underlying roof system must be designed to meet or exceed PV system service life. Design & Commissioning: How is system performance validated? Accountability: Who will be accountable for the integrated system?
