Home. Where and How to Develop Clean Energy Projects for Corporate Customers. Corporations have started to recognize the value of having a flexible, low-carbon energy strategy.
Hundreds of companies have made ambitious commitments to purchase renewables and green their operations in the coming years -- the challenge is figuring out how. To that end, the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) and its Business Renewables Center (BRC) launched a new software platform today that helps buyers and renewable energy developers find economically attractive locations to build clean energy projects in deregulated electricity markets across the U.S. The platform uses publicly available data from market operators, a levelized cost of energy calculation and a proprietary algorithm to model hypothetical project revenue. The software can produce an estimated value calculation for approximately 4,300 grid connection points, across all seven U.S. independent system operators and 39 states.
The tool will be available to the BRC’s more than 200 members. Abbott: Significant. UGE Case Studies. REI Goodyear Distribution Warehouse. During the past eight years, Blue Oak Energy and REI have enjoyed a collaborative relationship resulting in over 25 solar installations at REI locations around the country, and a solar portfolio of 5.4 MW.
Blue Oak Energy’s latest rooftop solar project for REI is located at the REI Distribution Center in Goodyear. Why is Commercial Solar a Good Investment?<br /> Solar Investment Returns and the 5 Key Factors<br /> Do Solar Panels Meet Miami-Dade Hurricane Wind Requirements? Hurricanes and wind are frequent concerns among those seeking to install solar panels in Southwest Florida, and many people have heard about Miami-Dade hurricane wind code requirements.
It stands to reason that people want solar panels installed that meet the most stringent hurricane wind building codes in the country. The concerns usually involve roof leaks and integrity of the roof itself. We saw Hurricane Charley pass through the area a little over 10 years ago with 150 mph winds, making it a strong Category 4 hurricane and at the time the second most powerful to hit the U.S. since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. From that experience, we know what the likely outcome will be when strong hurricane winds hit homes with solar panels. Businessinsider.

The Design Basics for Solar Parking Lots You Need to Know - Borrego Solar. Published in Design News Parking lots and garage rooftops offer expansive, un-shaded and unobstructed spaces ideal for housing commercial-scale solar energy systems.
For years, solar photovoltaics (PV) have proven to be a smart choice for parking facilities for a variety of reasons. With the growing trend of installing plug-in electric vehicle charging stations in some parking lots and garages, energy usage and operating expenses have also increased, making solar PV parking lots a solution for facility owners looking to counteract the increase in energy demand. Shade structures can be a great addition to any parking lot, as they provide numerous benefits as well as the potential to carry solar panels. Adding shade structures to a parking lot can reduce lighting costs through the installation of energy-efficient LED lighting under the structures in place of the often low-efficiency light poles in many lots.

Commercial Solar Carport Design & Installation. Solar carport structures are an excellent way to maximize an existing space for multiple purposes and benefits.
In addition to generating up to 12.8 watts of energy for your business or utility, a PV carport provides needed shade for vehicles, and improved lighting at night. The additional light inherent in solar panel carports is actually a reflection created from the PV ceiling. Solar Canopies Turn Parking Lots Into Power Plants With Benefits. In early 2014, Solaire Generation completed a 325 kW solar carport system at a new Whole Foods Market in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Working as a subcontractor for SunEdison, Solaire installed a series of double-cantilevered supports of its own design with photovoltaic panels that will supply approximately 380 MWh of electricity per year, equal to about 25% of the store’s needs. Whole Foods was committed to taking an environmentally conscious approach to its new location, and the parking lot was the only viable option for a substantial solar installation. The rooftop of the store had been staked out for an organic garden, and the urban site had no room to spare for a conventional ground-mount array.
An interesting aspect of the site is that it overlooks the Gowanus Canal. As part of its green approach, Whole Foods decided to try to reduce water runoff from the location into the waterway.

In 2015, the New York Public Service Commission established a new Community Distributed Generation Program to expand consumer access to local solar power, particularly among low- and moderate-income New Yorkers.
The Community Distributed Generation (DG) Program projects fall under the state’s net metering policy and are subject to the same rules including project size and credit rate. The July 17, 2015 Order sought to achieve broad community participation through special requirements, such as a 10-customer minimum per project and a limit on the percentage of output that any one customer can represent. Project sponsors may be an energy service company, municipal entity, business, nonprofit, LLC, partnership, or other form of business or civic association so that communities have flexibility to pursue a development and ownership structure of their choosing.
