IEEE PES Chapter Meeting - Economics of Rooftop Solar
With the ever-increasing concerns regarding the carbon footprint of the electricity grid, local and federal policymakers incentivized the integration of renewable energy resources, which led to their tremendous expansion during recent years. Solar rooftops are one of heavily incentivized distributed renewable energy resources, which are the option to consider for many electricity customers. In this talk, we will review the economics of installing solar rooftops given the local electricity rates and continuously declining installment cost. A discussion will be provided to make the best decision regarding the installment of solar rooftops. In addition, the importance of considering a more holistic approach toward the problem, including energy storage devices, electric vehicles, and energy efficiency procedures will be revealed. The economics of the net metering (NEM) programs for customers and utilities will be investigated along with some suggestion to design a more efficient paradigm for grid integration of distributed energy resources. Finally, we will further examine the impact of those solar rooftops on the operation and planning characteristics of the electricity distribution network.
