UVM Campus Renewable Energy Feasibility Study Building: Votey Hall 33 Colchester Ave, Burlington VT 05405
Applicable Incentives A detailed summary of applicable incentives is included 1.Vermont Small Scale Renewable Energy Incentive Program: $2.25/watt DC up to 10 kW, $1.50/W DC for next 50 kW (up to 60 kW). Maximum incentive $97,500 or up to 50% of project costs (whichever is lower). 2. Burlington Electric Department feed in tariff purchases PV produced power at 0.20 $/kWh, the offset calculation compares this power, which is fed directly into the grid, against the adjacent structure’s utility demand.
Notes: 1. Structural analysis of the roof for ability to support the proposed solar PV system will be required. This should be coordinated with the structural engineer’s ballast requirement calculations. These have been included in the estimated cost. 2. Installed cost includes all materials, labor, design, engineering…etc. based on observed market conditions in Q2 2012. 3. Financial analysis assumes BED utility 4. Electrical engineering/design of interconnection required (included in est. cost) 5. Roof substrate is assumed to be EPDM Rubber or similar and fully adhered. 6. Roof conditions should be field verified and confirmed to be OK for installation. Coordinate with manufacturer to ensure continuation 7. Useable roof space calculation did not account for the recently installed PV panels 8. The various obstacles on the roof may cause a different system output based on shading; further roof inspection is required. 9. Utility rate assumes an annual increase of 3%
