投资太阳能-爱达荷州电力-皇冠现金盘

想知道投资太阳能是什么样子吗?

客户投资太阳能有各种各样的原因, but if you’re interested in when you might recover your investment, you should be aware of possible changes that may impact your payback. Your investment will likely take longer to recover due to anticipated changes to how hg8868皇冠下载 credits customers for excess energy sent back to the grid and the value of that credit. If you make a solar investment looking only at the current compensation structure, 你不可能有一个准确的回报估计.

为什么事情会发生变化?

hg8868皇冠下载 is requesting changes to its on-site generation offering that are a step toward ensuring fair prices for all customers. hg8868皇冠下载 is seeking approval of a compensation structure that accurately measures an on-site generator’s use of the electrical grid, and an excess export energy credit rate that will result in a fair and accurate valuation of customers’ exported energy. 对于所有使用非遗留系统的客户, hg8868皇冠下载 is asking the IPUC to implement changes starting January 1, 2024, 包括:

从每月净账单到实时净账单的变化, which would better measure customers’ actual reliance on the electrical grid.
A change in the excess exported energy credit from a kilowatt-hour (kWh) credit, 对住宅用户来说，价值约为10美分, to a time differentiated financial bill credit ranging from approximately 5 to 20 cents per kWh, 这将每年更新一次.
A modification in the eligibility size cap for commercial, industrial, and irrigation customers.

未来的更改将适用于谁?

The IPUC determined that any future changes will impact customers interconnecting a new or expanded system after Dec. 20, 2019, for residential and small commercial customers and after Dec. 1, 2020, for large commercial, industrial and irrigation customers.

可能的变化如何影响回报?

The example below shows a customer who uses an average amount of energy per year and installs a standard system with a life of 30 years. This customer would see a simple payback period of 13-17 years under the current compensation structure if they pay cash for the system. 然而, that payback period increases to 19-24 years for that same customer with net billing and a lower excess energy credit rate. If the system is financed, the simple payback period extends further. If the investment is evaluated using a discounted payback method, which is more accurate for evaluating the financial value of a project, it may not pay back over the life of the system regardless of whether it is financed or paid for in cash.

Example for using solar on-site generation to match about 75% of a home’s energy use under current and proposed future compensation structures.

在线太阳能估算器，如谷歌项目天窗, are available to help customize system cost estimates and payback timeframes. 然而, these estimates are based on the current compensation structure and do not account for the changes being pursued with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission that would likely lengthen payback periods.
