How do you measure energy?

9

Greenday

Kilowatt Hour (kWh)

Energy = Power x Time

1 kilowatt hour = the energy delivered by 1000 watts of power over a one hour time period

Assumption: $.10/kWh

5.0 mWh/year

(4.96KW system = 16 panels *

310wh/panel)

GreendayWhat is a SREC?

A SREC is a Solar Renewable Energy Credit. It equals a Mega watt of clean power created.You can lock in a 5 year contract.

Example: $125/mega-watt hour1.00 mega-watt hours x $125 = $125

$125 * 5 = $625/year

•Payback number is conservative. SREC amount could be substantially higher. Also, potential electricity savings is considered lower due to tree branches that will be removed.•Assumption: $.10/kWh and no increase in electricity charges

$5,000/10yr -$5after year 10
