SUMMARY:November Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Implementing the A2 Zero Carbon Neutrality Plan\nSession IX: COMMERCIAL ON-SITE SOLAR AND STORAGE: WHY SOLAR? WHY NOW?\nIntegrated System Planning for New and Existing buildings \nSpeakers:\nMissy Stults\, PhD\, Director City of Ann Arbor\, Office of Sustainability and Innovations\nChuck Hookham\, PE\, President\, Arbor Consultants\, PC\nJan Culbertson\, FAIA\, Washtenaw 2030 District \nDescription:\nOn-site solar and solar + battery systems can reduce electricity usage and cost\, enhance utility\ndistribution stability\, increase resilience\, and lower carbon emissions reduction\, with multiple\nadvantages for commercial\, industrial\, multi-family residential building owners and non-profits. Studies\nhave found that rooftop or ground-mount solar PV is both cost-effective and offers the shortest timeline\nto achieve these goals\, with solar-charged batteries enabling both reduced peak consumption and\nreliable power during DTE outages. Federal investment tax credits available right now are also\ncompelling\, offering over a 30% reduction in initial investment which shortens payback.\nThis session will cover the City of Ann Arbor plans to establish a Sustainable Energy Utility (SEU) and how\ncommercial solar can be part of that system\, 2021 Energy Code solar-ready requirements for residential\nand commercial buildings scheduled to be in effect in 2025\, and actions that owners can take right now.\nChuck Hookham will also provide insights into sizing\, payback\, metering\, and the planning that is\nessential for both solar and integrated solar and storage systems. He will also highlight the importance\nof commissioning renewable generation systems and having solid contract documents to protect the\nowner’s investment.\nThe Washtenaw 2030 District Commercial Solar Program technical resources will be highlighted\, so you\ncan access free technical assistance to advance on-site generation for each of your projects. In addition\,\nresources for understanding and applying for IRA Tax Credits and Direct Pay will be shared.
