The requirement increases to 30% by the end of fiscal year 2013.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, all state executive branch agencies will aim to achieve an overall reduction in energy consumption of at least 10% by the end of fiscal year 2011, 20% by fiscal year 2013, and 30% by fiscal year 2015 as compared with fiscal year 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The state will integrate the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) practices into construction, renovation and facility operation.

Rendell said today that the new PA Sunshine Solar Program is performing better than expected and has helped to double the state’s solar generating capacity in less than 6 months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the Department of Environmental Protection, the program has reached its first incentive milestone for small business rebates—the deployment of 5 megawatts of solar power, or enough to supply electricity to about 575 average homes in the state.&lt;br /&gt;The Governor said achieving the goal is good news for those small businesses interested in lowering their electricity costs through clean, renewable energy, and also for Pennsylvania’s environment and economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When we enacted the PA Sunshine program, we said it was going to help reduce electricity bills for consumers, make solar energy more affordable, create economic opportunities, and help produce more renewable energy that will help improve our environment,” said Governor Rendell. “Reaching this milestone, not to mention the overwhelming response we’ve had to the program, is proof that it’s performing as intended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“PA Sunshine is putting people to work across the state doing everything from manufacturing solar technologies to installing and maintaining them, while helping people and businesses become less dependent on the electrical grid and other fossil fuels, which saves them money. And because of the program, we’re also emerging as a national leader in developing and deploying solar technology. With the projects this program is making possible and others in the works, it is likely that we will be among the top five states for total solar capacity within the next year,” he added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the program opened on May 18, the commonwealth has committed $12.5 million in 625 projects by residential and small business consumers. The projects represent at least $50 million in private investment, according to DEP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than 300 installers have been certified to install solar systems under the program and DEP continues to receive and accept applications.&lt;br /&gt;The solar electricity capacity created by the small business program, 5 megawatts, is enough to offset 5,580 tons of carbon dioxide, 16,000 pounds of nitrogen oxide, and 77,500 pounds of sulfur oxide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A running tally of completed projects is kept on the rebate program’s Web site so perspective applicants and solar developers are able to track the program’s progress.&lt;br /&gt;“Among the small business community in particular, we are seeing a very high response rate to the program, so much so that in less than six months, we've more than doubled the solar capacity in Pennsylvania,” said DEP Secretary John Hanger. “As the market continues to develop, the intense competition among solar installers and greater efficiencies on the part of manufacturers will help bring down prices for solar. As such, the need for the incentive will continue to decline.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The $100 million PA Sunshine Solar program reimburses homeowners and small business owners up to 35 percent of the purchase and installation costs of solar energy technology. In combination with federal tax credits, consumers could reduce system costs by 45 percent. It is part of the $650 million Alternative Energy Investment Fund Governor Rendell signed into in law in July 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the original guidelines of the program, reaching the 5 megawatt threshold means the incentive rates for small business solar projects will be reduced. Originally, the program offered $2.25 per watt for 3-10 kilowatt (kW) projects, $2 per watt for 10-100 kW projects, and $1.75 per watt for 100-200 kW projects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of Saturday, Oct. 31, all small business incentive rates were reduced by 50 cents across the board. Homeowner incentive rates will remain at the original level of $2.25 per watt.&lt;br /&gt;For more information, call the SOLAR PRO at 610-857-4704 or email &lt;a href="mailto:info@SolarProPA.com"&gt;info@SolarProPA.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8711474735970465774-378339527826845444?l=solarpro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solarpro.blogspot.com/feeds/378339527826845444/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8711474735970465774&amp;postID=378339527826845444' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8711474735970465774/posts/default/378339527826845444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8711474735970465774/posts/default/378339527826845444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solarpro.blogspot.com/2009/11/solar-pro-and-govern-rendell-sunshine.html' title='Solar Pro and Govern Rendell Sunshine Program'/><author><name>Solar Pro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03920932330329326758</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DTbEyXeQ04c/SSA2IYfcrOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/NJODFYj7AVY/S220/Aug+05+021.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711474735970465774.post-7148293475399834796</id><published>2009-10-06T12:47:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-06T12:49:02.589-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='solar'/><title type='text'>Solar Pro still moving Strong</title><content type='html'>Dispite the growing concern, SOLAR PRO is moving forward.

Greg Vitale (D., Delaware) said his bill to boost Pennsylvania's clean-energy standards and the state's commitment to alternative energy, including solar, had "taken a back seat" to two budget-balancing proposals he opposed.&lt;br /&gt;"My attention has frankly shifted to those two big issues," Vitale said.&lt;br /&gt;He was referring to bipartisan-backed measures that would reduce the financing level for the Department of Environmental Protection and increase by 100,000 acres state forest in the Marcellus Shale territory that would be offered for natural gas drilling in 2009 and again in 2010.&lt;br /&gt;Though considered the most important piece of energy/environmental legislation pending in Pennsylvania, House Bill 80 likely will see no action by the House and Senate until after budget matters are settled, Vitale said.&lt;br /&gt;The measure bogged down all summer long while a variety of interest groups - including coal companies, environmentalists, electricians, roofers, and advocacy groups for consumers and businesses - fought to have their concerns addressed.&lt;br /&gt;Sal DePrisco, a solar installer, and John F. Curtis III, who has proposed developing one of the nation's largest solar-power plants, are among many who had hoped for a brighter legislative forecast.&lt;br /&gt;DePrisco is director of operations at Russell Solar in Oreland, Montgomery County, a division of Russell Roofing created more than a year ago, when it looked as if the solar business in Pennsylvania was about to take off.&lt;br /&gt;In July 2008, the state legislature approved Gov. Rendell's $650 million Alternative Energy Funding Act, which allotted $100 million for a new solar initiative that would provide rebates of 35 percent to homeowners and small businesses to offset the cost of buying solar systems.&lt;br /&gt;An engineer by training, DePrisco joined the legions this summer who wrote to lawmakers urging passage of the bill, in large part because it would amend the state's Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act in favor of more solar-energy use.&lt;br /&gt;Currently, those standards require that solar be the source of at least 0.5 percent of the alternative energy that utilities must tap by 2021. H.B. 80 would increase that minimum share to 3 percent by 2024.&lt;br /&gt;What specifically triggered DePrisco's letter-writing was a proposed amendment to the measure that solar installers perceived as a threat to work they had just begun to count on. Sponsored by State Rep. Bill Keller (D., Phila.) on behalf of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the provision called for all solar-photovoltaic systems and components to be installed by licensed electrical contractors.&lt;br /&gt;Opponents were led to believe the IBEW wanted to claim every aspect of solar work, including affixing racking to roofs and delivery of solar panels there. That raised the temperature of the argument.&lt;br /&gt;A resolution has since been reached that seems to have widespread support, Vitale said. It would require that in order for new or upgraded solar-photovoltaic and solar-thermal electricity systems to qualify for alternative-energy credits, they must be installed by licensed electrical contractors, if the relevant municipality licenses such contractors. Some do not.&lt;br /&gt;In those cases, systems must be installed by a contractor the state has deemed qualified to participate in the Pennsylvania Sunshine rebate program.&lt;br /&gt;Last week, DePrisco seemed satisfied, saying it was Russell Solar's policy to use licensed electricians for the mechanical mounting and wiring of solar-power systems.&lt;br /&gt;What had him more worked up was a concern that consumers who did not carefully evaluate the credentials of an installer could easily be duped. DePrisco described a customer who had recently gotten a quote for a system that was too big to fit on the roof of the house.&lt;br /&gt;"There's a lot of [solar installers] coming out of the woodwork," DePrisco said. "The last thing I need is people sullying the reputation of the business."&lt;br /&gt;Curtis' route to activism on H.B. 80 traces to 100 acres in Nesquehoning, Carbon County, where he had hoped to have 57,000 solar panels installed on former industrial-park land and generating 11.5 megawatts - enough to provide electricity to 1,500 homes - by this fall.&lt;br /&gt;Financing for the $78 million project has been secured, but outstanding regulatory issues have delayed the expected start-up date for the solar park to July 1.&lt;br /&gt;At his home office in Whitemarsh last week, Curtis revealed plans for two other plants: one near the Nesquehoning site, the other north of Allentown. Combined, the three plants would represent 40 megawatts of power.&lt;br /&gt;His interest in pushing for legislation that would require increases in the use of solar power is obvious.&lt;br /&gt;What may be less apparent, Curtis worries, is the economic-development impact that increasing the state's solar-use requirements would have in terms of jobs created from the construction of solar plants and in ancillary businesses.&lt;br /&gt;In written testimony to the House Environmental Resources and Energy Committee in May, he estimated that the state would lose $1.4 billion in economic development and 28,012 solar jobs if H.B. 80 were not enacted. Curtis' Nesquehoning solar park will include a green-jobs-training/visitor center.&lt;br /&gt;As part of a coalition of legislators, solar developers, environmentalists, and special-interest groups known as the Green Dog Caucus, Curtis attends meetings in Harrisburg to help refine H.B. 80 to "make sure we have more, rather than just enough," votes for it to pass.&lt;br /&gt;A jump-in-with-both-feet kind of guy, Curtis has been pushing for amendments to the bill that would ramp up the requirements for solar usage sooner than originally proposed.&lt;br /&gt;"A true solar market," he said in a recent letter to lawmakers, "is not a market without depth and liquidity."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8711474735970465774-7148293475399834796?l=solarpro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solarpro.blogspot.com/feeds/7148293475399834796/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8711474735970465774&amp;postID=7148293475399834796' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8711474735970465774/posts/default/7148293475399834796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8711474735970465774/posts/default/7148293475399834796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solarpro.blogspot.com/2009/10/solar-pro-still-moving-strong.html' title='Solar Pro still moving Strong'/><author><name>Solar Pro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03920932330329326758</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DTbEyXeQ04c/SSA2IYfcrOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/NJODFYj7AVY/S220/Aug+05+021.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711474735970465774.post-6325183245036842120</id><published>2009-07-08T18:09:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-08T18:09:51.397-04:00</updated><title type='text'>SOLAR PRO of PA are HOT</title><content type='html'>The Beatles sang, "Here comes the sun... it's all right." Equally all right is the fact that the sun - in the form of solar power - is about to take off here in Pennsylvania. Solar Pro Knows. No one would mistake any part of Pennsylvania for the Sun Belt, so many think that the Keystone State can't take advantage of using the rays of the sun to create energy. Yet Pennsylvania has a greater amount of solar radiation than Germany, which has more solar energy installed than any other nation in the world. Solar Pro is already working here and is set for explosive growth. We have the policies in place - with more in the works - that will enable us to become a leader in using solar power. Our landmark 2004 clean energy legislation - the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act -- requires the state's utilities to provide increasing amounts of energy made from the sun as part of their mix, with 850 Megawatts, enough to power 600,000 homes, required by 2021. Last year, Pennsylvania created the Alternative Energy Investment Fund, with $100 million available to underwrite the cost of adding solar installations to Pennsylvania's homes and businesses. This means installing home and small business solar installations will finally be within our financial means. Last year's clean energy funding law also added another $80 million to invest in our state's solar energy industry and for large scale solar power facilities And if legislation under consideration this session passes, we will increase both the amount of solar required from utilities, and ramp up that requirement to bring solar online faster. The "Solar Pro - Made in PA" solar industry is growing like gangbusters. Solar Power Industries, outside of Pittsburgh, has just expanded again, outgrowing its current solar factory and moving to a much larger facility. Each year for many years, the company has nearly doubled its workforce, creating great green jobs along with solar panels. Another western Pennsylvania company, Plextronics, Inc., specializes in printed solar, lighting and other organic electronics, and is a leader in these cutting edge technologies across the globe. International solar giant Conergy, which bought Pennsylvania's Mesa Energy, teamed up with Epuron LLC and Exelon to build one of the nation's largest solar power plants, right in Philadelphia. AE Polysilicon Corp., which will begin production at its Fairless Hills plant later this year, aims to be a pioneer and leader in innovations and development of advanced technologies for a sustainable future. And it isn't just large companies that are growing; smaller companies like Solar Pro are building just as fast. The increasing demand for solar installations on family homes and large and small businesses is creating a huge need for skilled installers. Trade unions, like the International Union of Operating Engineers and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, are training their apprentices and retraining their members to meet the need. Community colleges, vocational/technical schools, and public interest organizations are also running programs to put workers on the path to certification. Adding significant amounts of solar power, especially with small residential and commercial installations, will increase our energy security, by making us rely less on a few large power plants for all of our electricity. And increasing our solar supply (especially combined with smarter, less wasteful energy use by all of us) will bring down everyone's costs for electricity. Solar is especially great at meeting electricity needs during our summer peak of electricity use. Almost 20 percent of the cost to serve a residential customer annually is because of the cost of guaranteeing supply during the 100 hours of highest demand. PJM Interconnection (the regional transmission organization) has calculated that only a small 1 percent reduction in peak demand can lead a 10 percent price reduction. All of this solar power is really good for the environment, too. Widespread use of solar power will reduce our use of dirtier power sources. That will mean less air pollution, less destruction of our waters, and a reduction in Pennsylvania's sky high contribution of heat trapping gases, third in the nation. Switching to non-polluting solar power is a great beginning of the turnaround we must make happen on global warming. Good for the economy, the environment and a great job creation plan.

The bill contains 19 provisions that help grow markets, finance projects, expand manufacturing, access federal lands, build transmission lines, increase research and development, train workers, and reduce the tax burden for solar companies. Combined, solar has access to over $25 billion in government funded construction projects, illustrating the President’s commitment to renewable energy and his specific interest in promoting solar technologies.

Images&lt;a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?f=/c/a/2009/02/20/BU0T1619FG.DTL&amp;amp;o=0" target=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory examined the costs of 37,000 photovoltaic systems across the country and found the average price fell from $10.50 per watt in 1998 to $7.60 per watt in 2007. Those averages include residential systems as well as larger arrays installed on businesses and do not take into account financial incentives from the federal or state governments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smaller, home-size systems averaged $8.30 per watt in 2007, which was more than the average at commercial installations. At that price, a typical 3-kilowatt residential solar system would cost $24,900.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study's findings, released Thursday, contain one surprise.&lt;br /&gt;For several years, solar prices were widely believed to be rising, the result of a worldwide shortage of the silicon used in most photovoltaic panels. Indeed, Lawrence Berkeley researchers did find a slight increase in prices from 2005 to 2007. But the price hike was small, only about 20 cents per watt, said Galen Barbose, one of the report's authors. And it has probably ended, as the silicon shortage eased.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In point of fact, the cost of these systems remained relatively flat," said Barbose, a staff research associate at the lab. "So the industry was able to absorb some of those (silicon) price increases."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study found substantial differences in how much people in different states pay to install solar. Systems smaller than 10 kilowatts cost an average of $8.10 per watt in California, the second lowest average in the country, after Arizona. Maryland has the highest average price, at $10.60 per watt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solar power's popularity has grown as homeowners, businesses and governments turn to energy sources that don't produce greenhouse gases and contribute to global warming. But photovoltaic solar panels remain an expensive way to generate electricity. The solar industry has been trying hard to drive down the cost, using new materials, new production processes and streamlined installation techniques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information contact Solar Pro in Pennslyvania &lt;a href="mailto:info@solarpropa.com"&gt;info@solarpropa.com&lt;/a&gt; or call Con-Lyn at 610-857-4704&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8711474735970465774-7619096809652110007?l=solarpro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solarpro.blogspot.com/feeds/7619096809652110007/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8711474735970465774&amp;postID=7619096809652110007' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8711474735970465774/posts/default/7619096809652110007'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8711474735970465774/posts/default/7619096809652110007'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solarpro.blogspot.com/2009/02/costs-of-solar-installations-coming.html' title='Costs of Solar Installations coming down'/><author><name>Solar Pro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03920932330329326758</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DTbEyXeQ04c/SSA2IYfcrOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/NJODFYj7AVY/S220/Aug+05+021.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711474735970465774.post-7625438744521403976</id><published>2009-02-21T11:51:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-21T11:58:05.461-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Valley Forge Home Show</title><content type='html'>We are displaying at the Valley Forge Home show this weekend.

"What the ECA did was keep (electric) rates the same for 12 years in the commonwealth."Over that time, the price of natural gas has gone up 220 percent and the price of coal is up as well, Powelson said. Both figure into the commody price of electricty.Before the rate caps come off on Jan. 1, 2011, Powelson recommended both residents and businesses implement energy conservation plans that include smart meters, tinted windows and energy-efficient light bulbs."Reduce your bill by reducing demand,"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We learned a lesson with Maryland's and California's mistakes," Powelson said. However, Powelson continued, the rate caps since 1997 have been a "free lunch" for consumers that bankrupted some energy providers. The PUC is not going to put more rate mandates on power companies.Along with the anticipated rate increases, however, comes some green news.Act 204 passed in 2004 under the Rendell Administration sets a target of 18 percent of renewable energy, such as wind, for energy providers in the state.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8711474735970465774-6197142051027527304?l=solarpro.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solarpro.blogspot.com/feeds/6197142051027527304/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8711474735970465774&amp;postID=6197142051027527304' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8711474735970465774/posts/default/6197142051027527304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8711474735970465774/posts/default/6197142051027527304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solarpro.blogspot.com/2008/11/peco-to-raise-utility-rates-go-solar.html' title='Peco to raise Utility Rates - Go Solar with Solar Pro'/><author><name>Solar Pro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03920932330329326758</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DTbEyXeQ04c/SSA2IYfcrOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/NJODFYj7AVY/S220/Aug+05+021.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711474735970465774.post-2369510485157057385</id><published>2008-11-22T07:29:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-24T09:44:44.454-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Free Estimates for Solar'/><title type='text'>Free Solar Estimates in PA</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;We just developed a great method of sizing up a roof for solar panels.

This is a new division of the already exisiting Con-Lyn Home Improvement Co. LLC located in Parkesburg PA. We are positioning ourselves to take advantage of the new Pennsylvania State incentives to be offered beginning in 2009 as well as the already existing Federal Investment Tax Credits (ITC) that have been extended for 8 years. This extention comes with a removal of the Residential Cap and changes in the AMT guildlines. We are working with two distributers and three manufacturers to provide customers with free estimates. We are currently working on a new website and will let you know when that is up and running. We look forward to answering questions from bloggers about solar. Please ask.
