What are Solar Plan sets with batteries?

Solar plan sets with batteries include the design, equipment, and installation details necessary to combine solar panels with an energy storage system.

Can I repower a PV system at the end of the performance period?

An IRS requirement that affects the decision to repower a PV system at the end of the performance period is that for a system to be eligible for the ITC, at least 80% of the cost must be for new equipment (“original use”).

Can a PV system be restructured?

Refurbishment could also involve rearranging series strings of PV modules to contain only good modules and rearranging inverter connections to use only good strings, thus “cannibalizing” a poorly performing system into a smaller but well-performing system.

What is the difference between repowering and decommissioning a PV system?

Repowering with new PV modules and inverter restores or even increases original performance and reduces O&M cost with new equipment and warranties. Decommissioning entails an expense to properly remove all equipment and restore the site for another use.

What is a photovoltaic power generation project?

photovoltaic (PV) power generation project involves design, construction, and operation of a PV power plant over a performance period of 20–30 years. The duration of a financial prospectus or power purchase agreement (PPA) often determines the expected performance period.

Is recycling PV modules a good idea?

A 2016 study found that recycling PV modules has the potential to result in a $60 million U.S. industry by 2030 and a $2 billion industry by 2050 (Weckend, Wade, and Heath 2016).
