Today’s U.S. Electricity Cost Landscape ,[object Object],[object Object],EIA forecasts are good baselines, but are generally conservative as they are based on historical data without recent movement in supply/demand balances
U.S. National Electricity Price Forecast ,[object Object],[object Object],*Estimates c/kWh Solar is already cost competitive in some states today and will be in many more in coming years as energy prices increase nationwide Year* 2008E 11.55 2009E 12.09  2010E 12.66 2011E 13.26 2012E 13.88 2013E 14.53 2014E 15.21 2015E 15.93
Installed system cost ranges have implications for levelized cost of energy ,[object Object],[object Object],Solar market penetration is created by the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) over the lifetime of the solar system vs. grid electricity prices and government/utility incentives Residential Installations Commercial Installations
Traditional generation sources face hurdles even as demand grows ,[object Object],[object Object],Coal and natural gas prices are increasing at much faster rates than 4.7% per year, while nuclear faces regulatory, financing and siting issues. Source: Simmons & Co. Source: Simmons & Co. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],$ / short ton
Most forecasts do not take into account these hurdles ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
The political climate is pushing in the same direction as electricity market economics “ Energy security  and  climate change  are two of the great challenges of our time.”  -  President Bush, Major Economies Meeting, September 2007 “… proposals that will allow America to lead the world in combating global  climate change  … to help develop and  deploy the next generation of  energy  that will allow us to build the next generation’s economy.”  -  Senator Barack Obama, Portsmouth, NH, October 2007 “… the fundamental incentives of the market are still on the side of  carbon based energy .  This has to change...”  -  Senator John McCain, Arlington, VA, May 2008 “… move us from a  carbon based  economy to an efficient, green economy by unleashing a wave of private-sector innovation in  clean energy …” -  Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Cedar Rapids, IA November 2007

The President’s Solar America Initiative (SAI) drives Federal work. Achieve grid parity for solar electricity from photovoltaics across all market sectors by 2015.
In the next years of the SAI, the DOE’s Solar Program will focus on achieving price-parity and scale for solar electricity generation from  both  PV  and  CSP PV program will target >30% market share for annual new capacity additions,  CSP program will target baseload price/dispatchability and GW-scale. Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Photovoltaics (PV) Distributed Generation,  on-site or near point of use Centralized Generation,  large users or utilities
Genesis of the initiative:
SAI works along the whole RDD&D pipeline
SAI has many strong partnerships.
Solar America Initiative map:
Solar America Cities DOE’s Solar America Cities will develop specific local solar infrastructure and deployment plans to provide models for other similarly situated localities
Funding for the Solar America Initiative will accelerate supply growth & adoption of PV/CSP technologies The SAI is intended to realize the full value of 30-years of RD&D  with a major clean energy source. Solar Energy Technologies Funding, FY01 – FY09 Increase for SAI ,[object Object]
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Agenda
Technology and business innovation stimulates public and private investment, which commences a virtuous cycle of market expansion ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Global investment in solar companies has grown exponentially, and that growth is expected to continue  Despite a pull back in share prices of public equities, solar companies have continued to raise significant capital throughout Q1 2008.
Venture capital and private equity investments have created new companies and capacity expansions  In 2007, capacity expansions (private equity investments) dominated in the EU, while the U.S. venture community dramatically ramped up funding of start - ups
Venture capital deal flow has expanded, including increases in deal size and volume ,[object Object],[object Object]
Private investments by solar technology type show significant regional variances and specializations  Regional patterns of investment are likely to change as newer technologies mature and are migrated to lower cost manufacturing centers
Many U.S. solar companies are making significant cost and quality improvements to their technologies DOE and these companies’ investors believe that many of their technologies will reach ‘grid parity’ by 2015 or sooner.  ,[object Object],[object Object]
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Agenda
Experience shows that as solar manufacturing increases, module costs are reduced significantly Source:  Historical Data from Navigant (2007).
But, the module is not all of the cost - DOE SAI industry partner installed system cost projections Established solar manufacturers are realizing cost reductions across the value chain and will reduce installed system cost by approximately 50% by 2015 ,[object Object],2005 $ per watt installed 2005 $ per watt installed
Market penetration begins - 2007 residential PV and electricity price differences with existing incentives ,[object Object]
Solar acceleration in a conservative forecast - 2015 residential without incentives and  moderate  increase in electricity prices ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
2015 residential installations without incentives and  aggressive  increase in electricity prices ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Agenda
Balance of system / installation costs will fall as policy becomes more solar friendly  ,[object Object],[object Object],Cost per watt installed ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
A recent shortage in silicon, a major PV feedstock, has driven up the cost of PV over the past few years. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],If robust policy is in place when the silicon shortage ends, and cost and price return to ‘normal’ levels, large numbers of economical PV installations will occur

Notas do Editor

  1. The most important partner may be what’s happening in the middle! Andy Karnser is excited about this partnership between the Department of Energy’s Office of EE and RE and MIT – the future of solar, the real agent of change, the next stroke of brilliance that tips the world of solar from a world of tomorrow to a world of today could be sitting right here in this room. Sounds corny? Sound unbelievable? So did large scale solar 10 years ago. So did First Solar being the #1 performing stock of 2007 on NYSE or Nasdaq out of thousands and thousands just a few years ago. Would have been a stretch. More than a stretch -- closer to a miracle. Think about that right now. We are in partnership together in one of the most exciting fields at just the right time. Like Henry Ford at the turn of the 20 th century or Bill Gates in the 80s and 90s… How big solar gets may not be entirely clear. But we know it will be much, much larger than it is today. And we know it’s moving fast. Dollars are pouring in. But it’s more than investors who are watching. Or at least more than investors who trade in dollars. Whole nations are banking on its success. Climate scientists and environmentalists are watching with a keen eye. Health experts are waiting for the prices of solar technologies to drop – eager for installations in the third world for refrigerants and water pumps. Better lives, a better world. At the Dept of Energy, we are trying to use tax dollars for the greatest benefits possible, to work with the types of companies and institutions you see above on a cost-shared basis to develop the entire value chain of solar infrastructure – from basic research to tax credits. We’re proud to be a partner with MIT – and I applaud all of you for being here today and for your interest and your hard work in the area of solar. Whether or not your project is a winner in this competition, the world of solar energy is big enough for all of your winning ideas – this room and a hundred rooms like it. You are in one of the fields with the greatest chance to make the largest changes across the world during our lifetimes. IT IS EXCITING.
  2. You can mention DOE’s role changing over the next few years (From industry R&D to more MT focus) – if you like I can get you a brief chart on this.
  3. Assumptions: For the price of electricity, the average electricity price for the 1000 largest utilities in the U.S. based on EIA data for 2006 (except CA, where existing tiered rates structures were used). A 6% price derate factor was assumed to remove fixed billing charges. TOU rates included (+20% price adjustment) for select states in 2007, and all states in 2015. Electricity price escalated at 1.5% per year in moderate case and at 2.5% per year in more aggressive case. The solar performance is based on NSRDB weather station closest to the center of the utility service territory, assuming a south facing array, at 25 deg tilt. An 82% derate factor is used to account for inverter and other PV system loses, but no performance degradation over life of the PV system is assumed. For the financial analysis, the installed system price is set at $8.5/Wp in the current case and $3.3/Wp in 2015. The system is assumed to be financed with a home equity loan or through mortgage (i.e., interest is tax deductible), with a 10% down payment, 6% interest rate, with the owner in the 28% tax bracket, and a 30 year loan/30 year evaluation period. Incentives included are the Federal ITC worth $500/kW due to $2000 cap and individual state incentives as of December 2007 in the current case and no Federal ITC or state incentives in 2015.
  4. 13% real increase in price of electricity. In this case, solar PV is very attractive in states in the Southwest, largely due to good solar resource and high electricity prices, especially in California. PV is also very attractive in the Northeast, due to high electricity prices.
  5. 22% real increase in price of electricity. Potential factors influencing future electricity prices: emerging climate regulations, other environmental issues, transmission constraints, the rising cost of key commodities used in the construction of traditional power plants, and rising fossil fuel prices. In this case, PV is at “breakeven” in a much larger area of the country, including much of the Central, Midwest, and Southeast U.S.
