The analysis of your electric bill is a critical element in creating a solar PPA. Each power utility has multiple different rate structures and different incentive programs for solar power. Cardinal Solar Capital has a database to understand and analyze your bills and the incentive programs that apply to your building. We will look at your electric power consumption over time (ideally 2+ years) to understand your usage patterns. Based on this understanding and the costs required to install solar panels on your building, we can then provide you a PPA proposal - that covers our costs and saves you money on your electric bill.
Fetzer Vineyards in Hopland took a different financing route when it installed
4,000 solar panels in the summer of 2006, enough to produce 1.1 million kilowatts
of electricity per year and handle 80 percent of the winery's electricity needs
for its bottling plant. Fetzer financed its project through a power purchase agreement.
