6 FAQs about [Distributed solar energy design fee]
How much does a solar PV system cost?
Image: Berkeley Lab’s Tracking the Sun PV system prices vary widely across individual projects. Among stand-alone PV systems, installed prices vary by roughly $2/W between the 20th and 80th percentile values for both residential and small non-residential customers, and by roughly $1.3/W for large non-residential customers (see Figure 3).
Do distributed photovoltaic systems contribute to the power balance?
Tom Key, Electric Power Research Institute. Distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems currently make an insignificant contribution to the power balance on all but a few utility distribution systems.
Will distributed PV be a threat to the electricity grid?
As distributed PV and other renewable energy technologies mature, they can provide a significant share of our nation’s electricity demand. However, as their market share grows, concerns about potential impacts on the stability and operation of the electricity grid may create barriers to their future expansion.
Do energy storage subsystems integrate with distributed PV?
Energy storage subsystems need to be identified that can integrate with distributed PV to enable intentional islanding or other ancillary services. Intentional islanding is used for backup power in the event of a grid power outage, and may be applied to customer-sited UPS applications or to larger microgrid applications.
Do utilities charge special facilities fees?
Utilities can charge individual customers special facilities fees, but on circuits where some customers are willing to pay and others are not, how the regulatory rules would apply and how to recover the costs to install backup power for multiple customers are not clear.
What is the average PV system size in 2022?
Median residential PV system sizes in most states were well above 8 kW in 2022, and in many states were above 9 kW. Non-residential system sizes have followed a more irregular trajectory over time and span a wide size range.
