850 Panels and Micro-Inverters

3-9-12
Arlington, Texas
Brandon Oaks Apartments

Stopping by a finished solar project today as part of a 2 day visit to meet with installers, stakeholders and SCG Investors. Recently completed, the project at Brandon Oaks has 850 panels, each with it's own EnPhase micro-inverter. Each micro-inverter streams real time data to a web portal. The monitoring portal allows the Owner, utility or Investor to pull data on electricity production by day, hour, panel and track seasonal performance.

This site, along with two other apartment complexes represented a big leap into commercial funding for SCG.

The collapse of NJ SREC prices resulting from a market oversupply in the last six months has called for legislative or administrative action.  Theoretically the RPS is a self-correcting mechanism where low prices lead to a slowdown in build rate while the annual Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) increases to catch up to any oversupply.  In practice, SREC price signals are impacted by other outside incentive programs like the Treasury cash grant which can lead to dramatic overshoots like we currently see in NJ and PA.  Also, the RPS adjusts only on an annual time frame, so while it should eventually self-correct, it may take several years even if almost all new solar development stops.  While a few of the large, well-capitalized commercial and utility scale solar companies can afford to stop installation while the market mechanism corrects itself, most of the hundreds of smaller pure play solar installers will either have to leave the state or close.  As a result, they, and the thousands of existing solar PV system owners in the state, are pushing for changes to the RPS program to ensure the continued vitality of the industry and the SREC revenue streams they are counting on to pay for their installations.
