  • BNEF Long Form
    THE EVOLVING LANDSCAPE FOR EPCS IN US RENEWABLES 14 OCTOBER 2014 SECTION 4. THE PLAYERS This section of the report analyzes players in EPC for solar and wind in the US. About this analysis This section is based mostly on data gathered from companies’ websites. Much of this analysis relies on linking firms to projects in our database, which contains nearly 3,000 wind and solar projects in the US at various stages of development. The information mapping projects to their EPCs is captured in our Industry Intelligence database, available to subscribers of our service. There are a number of assumptions, caveats, and methodological points that are important to note in the context of this analysis; an Appendix at the end of this report identifies these. 4.1. LEAGUE TABLES The charts below show the top EPC firms for solar and wind, ranked strictly in terms of historic activity – ie, this does not reflect any kind of qualitative assessment about firms’ competencies. • Top-ranked solar EPCs includes the three vertically-integrated giants – SunPower, First Solar, and SunEdison – and some EPC specialists, like Bechtel and Fluor, that have performed a small number of very large projects. • The league tables for wind are headlined by Mortenson, IEA, RES Americas, and Blattner (with Blattner under-represented, as explained in the Appendix).

  • An Industrial Strategy for Solar in Europe
    An industrial strategy for solar in Europe SolarPower Europe would like to thank the members of its Industrial Competitiveness Task Force that contributed to this report including: Chair Vice-chairs Sponsor Members: FOREWORD: THE SOLAR VALUE CHAIN: A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR EUROPE As policymakers, investors and consumers increasingly enjoy the benefits of clean, flexible and low-cost solar power, solar technology has become the world’s most popular power generation source. In 2018, more solar power capacity was installed than all fossil fuel and nuclear sources combined, and almost twice as much as wind. In the coming years, SolarPower Europe anticipates 2-digit annual market growth in Europe, with solar playing a major role in meeting Europe’s 32% renewables target by 2030, and beyond. The potential for growth is indeed significant, as the latest studies suggest solar could cover 69% of Europe’s electricity generation in a 100% renewable scenario, with over 2 TW installed in 2050.1 Beyond its significant contribution to Europe’s clean energy future, the solar industrial value chain holds promise for Europe. It is highly innovative and offers modular, easily deployable energy solutions, able to quickly benefit from the effects of scale. Today, solar already provides both low-cost and highly efficient large-scale centralised solutions and decentralised consumer-oriented business models, enabling the creation of local and highly qualified jobs in Europe. Solar energy is an agile technology, it offers a high degree of flexibility and provides valuable services to the electricity grid. Combined with its low-cost profile and scalability, solar is a fundamental driver for the full decarbonisation of the European economy, providing highly efficient and sustainable electrification and, in a near future, converting green electrons into renewable molecules.

  • Potentials of the Sharing Economy for the Electricity Sector Regarding Private Capital Involvement and Decarbonisation
    Potentials of the Sharing Economy for the Electricity Sector regarding Private Capital Involvement and Decarbonisation Prof. Dr. Ingela Tietze, Pia Szichta, B.A. & Lukas Lazar, M.Sc. Institute for Industrial Ecology, Business School, Pforzheim University, Tiefenbronner Str. 75, D-75175 Pforzheim, Germany Phone: +49 7231 / 28-6361, Email: [email protected] Abstract Reaching the central objective of the Paris Agreement requires additional strategies in the European energy sector towards the (financing of) decarbonisation of electricity production. Sharing approaches imply a shift to a decentralised structure in the energy sector and deliver a possibility for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Main drivers and barriers for increased involvement of private capital and decarbonisation through sharing approaches in the electricity sector are addressed in this paper. Definitions, descriptions and characteristics of sharing economy in general and in specific for the electricity sector are investigated. Moreover, a multiple case analysis examines three selected case studies regarding their fit with sharing economy’s characteristics. Main drivers for the increased private capital involvement are lower investment levels and a higher degree of independence from centralised electric utilities due to the decentralised infrastructure of renewable electricity generation technologies. The main barriers are missing financial incentives for local energy and high requirements for small electricity suppliers which reduce the attractiveness for private capital involvement. We found that the integration of renewable energies and the visualisation of costs in the sharing economy concepts can lead to an increased decarbonisation rate and further environmental benefits. Consequently, we impose policy makers to consider a more favourable market environment for renewable generation capacities in sharing economy approaches to support the benefits involved.

Masterpole Report Index Report Section Name Page Section Number I Background and Executive Summary 2 II Scope and Methodology 6 III Findings and Recommendations 7 IV Exhibits 25 V Departmental Responses 30 VI Clarification of Management Response 37 1 SECTION I BACKGROUND AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background In 2013 and again in 2014, Onondaga County (County) began to pursue solar power solutions using a request for proposals (RFP) process. At the conclusion of the RFP process, the County executed Commercial Purchase and Performance Guarantee agreements (Contracts) with SolarCity Corporation (SolarCity), a company which sells large-scale solar power solutions. The County is currently contracted with Solar City and purchasing solar energy at three sites—Oak Orchard Lagoons, Oak Orchard Waste Water Treatment Plant and Jamesville Correctional Facility. The Contracts with SolarCity included the construction of arrays of solar energy collecting panels to be built at the three sites. While the County retains ownership of the land at the sites, Solar City owns and maintains the panels. Each site has a 20-year contract and upon conclusion, the County has the option to purchase the solar panel systems from SolarCity. In addition, the Contracts define the terms for the location of the panels, set-up requirements for the panels (tilt, azimuth, etc.), price per kilowatt hour (kWh) per year, expected first year and every five year production as well as having a SolarGuard readable meter at each site. The County pays SolarCity a set fee per kWh for the use of the panels (with a 2% annual accelerator increase) and the County receives credits per kWh from National Grid for the energy collected by the panels.

  • Benchmarking the Performance of Solar Installers and Rooftop Photovoltaic Installations in California
    sustainability Article Benchmarking the Performance of Solar Installers and Rooftop Photovoltaic Installations in California Dadi Wang 1,2 1 Business School, China University of Political Science and Law, Beijing 100088, China; [email protected]; Tel.: +86-10-5890-9402 2 Desautels Faculty of Management, McGill University, Montreal, QC H3A 1G5, Canada Received: 20 June 2017; Accepted: 5 August 2017; Published: 9 August 2017 Abstract: Rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems are rapidly proliferating around the world. Whether the PV systems have been efficiently installed is an issue of utmost importance for both solar installers and policymakers. However, the impact of solar installers on PV performance is not well understood. In this paper, we investigate the performance of rooftop PV installations and the solar installers using a dataset of 1035 projects developed by 213 installers in California. Based on data envelopment analysis (DEA), our study takes the PV system capacity, electricity generation, cost, modules, solar irradiance, and ambient temperature into account simultaneously to construct a unified measure for the efficiency of PV installations. We analyze the relationship between installer characteristics and PV system performance. We find PV installations with the installer also being the module manufacturer, exhibit significantly better performance than other installations. PV installations by subsidiaries of oil firms have inferior performance. PV installations by large installers on average do not perform better than the installations by small installers. Geographic diversification of an installer’s operations is significantly and inversely related to the performance of installations. We demonstrate the aforementioned findings have significant implications for policymakers and the solar installation industry.
