14 Solar Energy Strategy Action 6 5 Year Target Deploy solar systems sized up to 20 percent of the average load in diesel communities. Represents 1.8MW 22 million investment Action 7 Deploy solar PV systems sized at up to 75 percent of the average community load in diesel communities High penetration systems require complex controls and storage. Will be integrated in conjunction with smart grid technology Colville Lake, Jean Marie River!!!

32 So What is a Good Location? A reasonable annual solar resource Orientation towards Solar South preferred SE through SW also OK depending on tilt angle Roof mount flush mount or elevated? Wind & snow loads, ease of cleaning & service Ground mount fixed or tracking? Available space, ease of cleaning & service Exposure shading Type of system: off grid, on grid with/without batteries Based on the above string or micro inverters? Offset cost of power personal use & excess to grid

33 Solar Pathfinder Shade Analysis

34 Magnetic Declination

35 Magnetic Declination The angular difference between true and magnetic south. The main cause for this discrepancy is the Earth s non uniform, conductive, fluid outer core that consists mainly of iron and nickel. This layer pulls your compass needle away from true north/south. Depending upon your location on the planet, the pull varies in strength and direction.
