The CPVU
working group is designed to facilitate dialogue and collaboration
among California Utilities and Government Energy Agencies (eg. California
Energy Commission, California Public Utilities Commission) involved
in the development and implementation of photovoltaic programs.
The CPVU
meetings are facilitated by Tor Allen of the Rahus Institute/California
Solar Center, a non-profit organization. The first meeting was held
in January 2003.

Item 1 - PV Module eligibility List. One item to note is that
PTC values have been re-calculated using laboratory tested
parameters rather than the previous manufacturer submitted
parameters. The "new" list is available here: http://gosolarcalifornia.org/builders/equipment.html
The list will still be updated monthly.

Item 3a - The SB1 Guidelines only require post-installation
inspection. The inspection can be performed by the program
administrator, a designated and qualified agent of the program
administrator, or a HERS rater. HERS raters will continue
to be required by NSHP. CSI will not be requiring HERS raters.
Item 3b - There has always been a tracker option in the NSHP
Calculator (CEC Calculator), but it has never been in the
public version. Tracker options will be added to the public
version soon. For now, people will need to continue to contact
me directly for tracker calculations for NSHP. Available tracker
options are: dual, single N-S, single E-W, polar, and vertical.

"POUs which have a 2006 peak demand of less than 200
MW have a SB1 Guidelines implementation date of 1 January
2010. All other utilities have a SB1 Guidelines implementation
date of 1 July 2009. The 2006 peak demands can be found here:

The Enphase Envoy EMU (their webbox) does have a physical
LCD in the webbox so you can visually get kWh data from the
webbox. The webbox (which is required by Enphase) can act
as an acceptable meter for incentive purposes. The EMU is
listed as an acceptable meter: http://gosolarcalifornia.org/equipment/meter.php

| Tom
Hoff Clean Power Research - This presentation is
part of a project to develop a utility-sponsored performance
based incentive (PBI) program for commercial customers who purchase
photovoltaic (PV) systems. This presentation develops the theoretical
basis for a proposed PBI design methodology and structure, covering
the rate per kWh of production, the variation of this rate over
time, and the duration over which the payments are made. The
methodology developed in this paper may be used to develop PBI
programs at any utility [Sponsored by SMUD and CEC-PIER programs] |
