10 The Competition Solar Decathlon 2007 Will take place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., from September 21-30, Consists of ten (10) events that encompass all the ways in which societies use energy in their daily lives. Twenty (20) universities will compete against each other in this challenging decathlon during a week in which the public and the media will be invited.

12 Solar Decathlon 2007 Participants Universidad de Puerto Rico California Polytechnic State University Carnegie Mellon University Cornell University Georgia Institute of Technology Kansas State University Lawrence Technological University Technische Universität Darmstadt Massachusetts Institute of Technology Texas A& M University New York Institute of Technology The Pennsylvania State University Université de Montréal Universidad Politécnica de Madrid University of Cincinnati University of Colorado University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign University of Maryland University of Missouri-Rolla University of Texas at Austin
13 Official Sponsors The Solar Decathlon is a competition sponsored by: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) American Institute of Architects (AIA) National Association of Home Builders BP Solar Do It Yourself Network Sprint
14 2005 Solar Village Lot in the 2007 Competition
15 PV Systems
16 Solar Cells
17 Solar Cell Arrays
18 Energy Storage Battery Bank
19 Energy Management Charge Controllers Inverters (DC-to to-ac converters)
20 Stand Alone PV Systems PV Systems that are able to supply all the energy demand independently They may or may not require the use of a Battery Bank These systems are feasible where utility services are not available They are typically used for remote home sites or places where the cost for utility service may be prohibitive
21 Grid-Tied PV System PV systems that are interconnected to the conventional utility system. Grid-Tied PV with Battery Backup - designed to provide power in the event of a utility outage Provide a way to sell power back to the utility The Utility may be used as a backup for the system
22 The State of Regulation Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) Utility companies are obliged to purchase energy from independent producers based on a pricing structure referred to as avoided cost rates This rate is smaller than the rate the utility company sells the energy to the smaller producer
23 The State of Regulation Net Metering Under net metering, excess electricity produced by the PV System will spin the existing home or business electricity meter backwards, effectively banking the electricity until it is needed by the customer This provides the customer with full retail value for all the electricity produced
24 Avoided Cost Concept 4-6 cent-kilowatt-hour cent-kilowatt-hour kwh Meter
25 Avoided Cost Concept 4-6 cent-kilowatt-hour cent-kilowatt-hour kwh Meter
26 Net Metering Concept cent-kilowatt-hour cent-kilowatt-hour kwh Meter
27 Net Metering Concept cent-kilowatt-hour cent-kilowatt-hour kwh Meter
28 The State of Net Metering Net metering is allowed in 40 US States and Washington D.C. Allowed system sizes range from 10 kw to no- limit Bureaucracy and governmental barriers have slowed down the growth of grid-tied systems Net metering is not allowed in Puerto Rico
