SunCentric Business Perspectives
A Progress Report on the Largest U.S. Solar Program
Will New Federal Certainty Accelerate the California Solar Initiative?
Glenn Harris, CEO
October 2008
A Heartfelt Foreword
Like everyone in the solar industry, on October 3, 2008 I celebrated the long awaited news that
we had achieved solar certainty. I am enormously thankful to everyone who worked with such
passion and persistence to get us here and am particularly grateful to Rhone Resch, our SEIA
Director who, after this historic victory, should be thought of as an immortal solar gladiator.
I have always viewed the Federal Investment Tax Credit as the base of a financial pyramid. Now
solidly in place, each of the 50 states can build solar programs that will benefit their citizens and
companies, expand employment and contribute to our energy independence.
For solar
businesses the work is just starting, but at last we can plan and invest with one major risk factor
removed. It’s time for us to get going and turn our potential into results. Let’s deliver the cost
reductions we talk about, deploy “billions and billions” of solar modules and create millions and
millions of jobs. To paraphrase Buzz Lightyear, ”to grid parity and beyond.” I look forward to
helping the industry achieve these objectives.
Federal Certainty - a CSI Stimulus Package?
1.75 years into the 10 year program about 90MW, or 3%, of the 3,000MW California Solar
Initiative (CSI) are completed. In today’s parlance, the U.S.’s largest solar program needs a
stimulus package. We wondered, “Will the 8 year, 30% Federal ITC accelerate the California
Solar Initiative?” The short answer – it depends.
Based on current CSI program averages, the new 30% uncapped federal residential tax credit
should add over $10,000 of incentive to a 4,500 watt system – great for a consumer that has

federal tax liability. This may give the Investor Owned Utility (IOU) residential program a much
needed boost, potentially ignite the Public Owned Utility (POU) program, give current residential
installation companies a chance to improve their bottom line and encourage new residential
market entrants.
The commercial segment is another matter. While the lack of Federal ITC certainty until October
3 caused some slowdown in sales, the rapid decline in CSI incentives along with the lack of
meaningful system cost reductions have combined to dramatically impact the program. While
the 8 year federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) keeps the existing 30% ITC in place, it does not
change the financial returns for CSI commercial system owners. We should see a spike in activity
near term as some pending contracts are signed now that there is no concern about completing
the project before the Federal ITC expires.
After that, it is an open question what market
expansion can occur given current economic and solar business conditions.
The New Solar Home Partnership (NSHP) started slowly and was further affected when the
housing downturn hit California. The ITC extension will encourage more developers and builders
to incorporate solar into their business plan, but near term no uptick is likely until economic
conditions improve.
In light of the ITC extension, and the results of the CSI, we think some things will have to
change. As we’ll show in this paper using a simple set of charts, graphs and tables, we think
you’ll agree the program is off course. The solution to getting back on course will involve the
combined efforts of the state agencies and the solar industry.
Remember, California’s former solar programs, the California Energy Commission’s (CEC)
Emerging Renewables Program and the California Public Utility Commission’s (CPUC) Self
Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) are over. They may continue to contribute some completed
MWs into 2009, but new projects now go to the three programs created by Senate Bill 1 (SB1);
the CPUC’s CSI, the CEC’s NSHP and the Publically Owned Utilities (POU).
Senate Bill 1 established three goals for the State:
1. Install 3,000 megawatts (MW) of distributed solar PV capacity in California by the end of
2016
2. Establish a self-sufficient solar industry in which solar energy systems are a viable
mainstream option in 10 years
3. Place solar energy systems on 50 percent of new homes in 13 years

We study many elements of the State’s solar programs, but we wanted to measure the results by
answering a simple question. Now that we are nearly two years into the 10 year program, how
are we doing in connecting 3,000MW to the grid and creating a self-sufficient solar industry? As
shown in Table 1, after 1.75 years of a 10 year program only about 90MW have been connected
to the grid, a little more than 3 percent of the programs goals.

Results of the New Solar Home Partnership Program
The California Energy Commission’s New Solar Figure 1 – NSHP MW as of October 10, 2008
Home Partnership has been roundly criticized for its
www.newsolarhomes.org/Rebatelevels.aspx
overly complex participation requirements and has
received a critical reception from many developers,
builders and solar integrators. The downturn in the
new home construction industry has been a bad
break that made the situation much worse. Figure 1
shows that as of October 10, 2008 there are 9.2MW
of
approved
applications
and
1.1MW
of
applications currently under review. In mid July the
CEC reported that 23 systems had been completed
- we estimate less than 40kW. It is likely that today
this number is larger, but we doubt it is greater
Figure 2 – NSHP Applications as of July 25, 2008
www.gosolarcalifornia.ca.gov/news/statistics/index.html
than 200kW. Figure 2, shows that nearly 5,000
systems are now being tracked in the program and
that there is participation across the housing
construction segments and affordable housing. As
a reference, NSHP systems are likely to average less
than 1,500 watts, so to reach 360MW, on the order
of 250,000 systems will need to be completed.

Results of the Publically Owned Utilities Program
SB1 tasks the Publically Owned Utilities (POU) throughout California with connecting 700MW to
the grid by year end 2016. As a group they are positive about solar, but are dealing with the
fact that their generally low kWh prices force very high incentives to deliver reasonable paybacks
to their customers. In an interesting legislative twist, the POU’s are required to offer a solar
program, but it does not have to be a successful solar program. SMUD, LADWP, Riverside,
Pasadena, and many of the small POUs are carrying the ball for the POU program. The CEC has
yet to publish the combined results of the program, but our research leads us to believe that
just a few MW have been connected to the grid by the POUs since January 1, 2007.
Results of the Low Income Program
The low income programs for multifamily and single family have not started yet.
Results of the CPUC’s Investor Owned Utility Program
The remainder of this paper focuses on the CPUC’s Investor Owned Utility (IOU) part of the CSI.
With about 90MW connected to the grid it is the only part of the CSI with meaningful activity.
Table 2 and 3 show the results by Step and by customer segment.

There has been much discussion about the performance of the IOU program. Those charged
with keeping the program’s results, the utility program administrators (PA) from PGE, SCE and
CCSE and the staff at the CPUC are enthusiastic and want to report results in ways that make the
program appear to be a growing success. However, measuring applications received,
applications in process, etc. shows interest solar but does not show the realities of total installed
systems. Likewise, a measure like utility interconnection requests does not always indicate a
system is completed, and may include projects from former solar programs.
A further concern is a pending request by the PAs to allow CSI applicants to relocate projects
from one site to another. This will benefit those companies that have made arrangements with
franchise or big box businesses that own more than one site. Actions like this that attempt to
rescue projects, seem to favor a few large companies and in our view signal the declining health
of the program.
A Comment about the Data
The program administrators and the CPUC publish a subset of their CSI non-public database on
a fairly routine basis. Here is the link, on the PowerClerk site, and the October 1, 2008 data that
we used for much of this report: https://csi.powerclerk.com/CSIProgramData.aspx
There has been some improvement in the bookkeeping since January 1, 2007; however the data
is still riddled with errors and omissions. We can easily identify millions of dollars of errors and
millions of watts of errors. With the resources given the PAs, we are at a loss to understand why
the CPUC allows this to continue. We are concerned about what and how the PAs and CPUC
report and their reluctance to make a more complete version of their non-public database
public. To us it appears that this reluctance stems from their knowledge of the inaccuracies of
their work and possibly a desire to protect some entities interests. In sum, these behaviors and
the resulting lack of transparency are concerning. How are the industry and the legislators to
measure the results of the program without proper bookkeeping? The program audit scheduled
for 2009 will be a good catalyst to get the books in order.
Step 1 Results
We consider Step 1 of the CSI a mini program that reserved 50MW of projects before the official
start of the CSI on January 1, 2007. Figure 3, from the Trigger Tracker, shows that 50MW of
Conditional Reservations were issued from March to July 2006.

We have been curious about the status of these projects. Over the past few days a data file was
released that shows a combination of the activity for SGIP and CSI projects during this time
period. http://www.sdenergy.org/ContentPage.asp?ContentID=279&SectionID=276&SectionTarget=35 takes you
to the file. All of the solar projects appear to be commercial projects and the file does not
include any solar projects that were cancelled or withdrawn. We have extracted the data that
relates to the CSI. Table 4 and 5 include summarize the activity.

We have some questions about the data in this file. In Table 5 we saw that only 17.2MW
appeared in Step 1 when we expected nearly 50MW. When we asked the CPUC we learned that
the remaining 32.8MW of projects had been withdrawn. We suspect that many of these projects
were withdrawn and resubmitted to the CSI Performance Based Incentive (PBI) program as the
original Step 2, $.39/kWh incentive frequently created a more beneficial financial return than the
$2.80/Watt SGIP inventive.

Table 6 show that as of the end of September 2008, 25MW of completed projects booked into
the SGIP data set belong to the CSI program. Combining the above SGIP data and the CSI data
that follows in the remainder of the report, we arrive at the following summary by program Step.

Part 4 – Other Observations
In October 2007 we forecast that about 25MW of Residential projects would be completed by the end of
September 2008. The actual was 36.2MW. We expect a few more MW will be completed by year end
2008. However, the change in Residential Federal ITC to 30% uncapped from a limit of $2,000 will likely
temporarily slow completions as consumers decide to take advantage of greater incentives in 2009.
In Oct 2007 we
forecast about
25MW would
be completed
by the end of
Sept 2008.

In October 2007 we forecast that about 55MW of Non-Residential projects would be completed by the
end of September 2008. The actual was 53.4MW. We now doubt that we will achieve our forecast
(yellow) at year end 2008 of about 90MW.
In Oct 2007 we
forecast about
55MW would
be completed
by the end of
Sept 2008.
