Grid-Tied Solar
FIGURE 1: SOURCE: SANYO A grid-tied solar PV system consists of an array of photovoltaic panels connected via an inverter (or micro-inverters) to provide power for your home. During the day, any excess production feeds into the grid, spinning the meter backwards. At night when the solar modules are not producing electricity, the electricity comes from the grid. If enough energy is exported during the day, it will balance or exceed the amount you draw from the grid at night. Grid-tied solar does not have a backup energy source in the event of a grid outage, unless batteries are added to the system.
How it Works

System Proposal
P.O. Box 7627, Avon, CO 81620 | P: 970.306.4233 | F: 866.403.3485 | www.activeenergies.com 4 Included in your Photovoltaic System Design:
• Design and full installation of functional, code compliant system, including all required equipment and labor
• Full system documentation including permitting, invoices, instructions and warranty information provided during system installation
• All AC electrical connections, including system interconnection by a Colorado Certified Master Electrician
• All DC electrical work overseen by NABCEP certified staff
• All applicable local, county and state taxes
• Permit procurement and payment
• Facilitation of applicable rebate processes
• Remote Monitoring System
• Financing options are available
• References available upon request
Logistics: Upon acceptance of this proposal, Active Energies Solar LLC requires the completion of an installation agreement with a down payment due at signing. This will begin product procurement, permitting and rebate processes. When equipment has been received Active Energies will then install your system according to all applicable codes and complete the AC connection to the grid. At this point the final payment is to be made. The final steps include inspection and approval, net meter installation by the utility company, and final rebate processing. Now, your system is operational and you can start feeding the grid!
Payment Schedule: 50% upon Contract execution, 50% upon installation completion
*Please confirm pricing and panel availability prior to contracting*
*Holy Cross WE CARE Rebate: The Holy Cross Energy's WE CARE Program offers an incentive for customers who install grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems according to the chart below.
System Size Incentive Incentive Calculation 0-6 kW $750/kW $750/kW (up to 6 kW) 6-12 kW $500/kW $500/kW over 6 kW + $4,500 (6 kW x $750/kW) 12-25 kW $200/kW $200/kW over 12 kW + $7,500 (6 kWx$750 + 6 kW x $500) Incentive payments will only be paid up to 40% of system cost. Rebates are only offered at $150/kW for projects where systems are used for points or offsets in green building programs such as ECOBuild or REMP. Fund reservations are required, which are completed by Active Energies on the customer’s behalf and last for 4 months. NOTE: The funding resources are limited and on a first come first serve basis. Program levels may change at any time. Current funding amounts are available in the REG/STS Expenditure Recap document found at www.holycross.com under the “Member Service” menu item.
***Federal Incentives: This quote assumes that applicable rebates will be taken as non-taxable income. A taxpayer may use IRS form 5695, Residential Energy Credits, to claim a credit of 30% of qualified expenditures, less rebates, for a system that serves a dwelling unit located in the United States. If the federal tax credit exceeds tax liability, the excess amount may be carried forward to the succeeding taxable year. Consult your tax professional on the applicability of this benefit.
Net Metering: Holy Cross Energy offers net metering; when more electricity is being produced by your PV system, power is fed to the electrical grid. Your bill is then netted, the electricity you consumed and the electricity feed back into the grid, so you only pay the net amount. If there is a positive yearend balance, Holy Cross Energy will write you a check for the average wholesale cost of electricity for the prior 12-month period. Holy Cross will require approval of an Interconnection Agreement document to receive their rebate and connect to the grid.
Customer Insurance Requirements: The Interconnection Agreement with your utility company, which is signed before net metering installation, requires proof of insurance. This insurance shall be “liability insurance with a
combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than $300,000 (under 10kW) or $1,000,000 (over
10kW) per occurrence.” This is a standard coverage limit and only a copy of the coverage is required. Please contact your insurance carrier to verify and provide proof of coverage.
P.O. Box 7627, Avon, CO 81620 | P: 970.306.4233 | F: 866.403.3485 | www.activeenergies.com 5 Warranty & Insurance: There is a 5-year warranty on installation and workmanship, 12-year warranty on inverters and 25-year warranty on the panels and optimizers. A more complete warranty statement is available during contracting. Active Energies Solar LLC carries liability insurance on all work and employees.
Assumptions:
• Site visit or plans review required to ensure pricing is accurate
• No additional vents or chimneys have been planned for the area designated for the solar array
• Additional structural and electrical professional engineering costs required for permitting, if applicable, have not been included
• Grid-tie connection: Project electrician to complete the AC grid interconnection. Active Energies will be onsite to coordinate all AC grid interconnection work, supply related equipment and designs. The electrician scope includes labor and materials for the inverter output circuit from the inverter to the point of interconnection (normally a standard breaker) through an Active Energies supplied disconnect. A separate proposal can be developed for this portion of work, if desired.
• HOA/Permit Approval: Project Architect to assist with approval process for local authority and HOA.
• Internet Access: Project IT contractor to supply hardwired internet access at inverter location for monitoring.
• Holy Cross Meter Enclosure Rule: A 10” minimum view hole is required at the meter. Active energies can complete this task upon specific direction from customer.
Non-Financial Benefits of Solar: A 39.24kW PV system each year (www.solarenergy.org):
• prevents 35.3 tons of coal from being mined
• prevents 70.6 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere
• keeps 49,442 gallons of water from being consumed
• offsets 104,104 miles from being driven
• is equivalent to planting 235 trees
• keeps NO and SO2 from being released into the environment
• Knowing that you are taking another step in protecting the environment!
• Help free yourself from the utility company by limiting your exposure to increasing energy costs. Own your electricity instead of renting it.
In the 2006 Colorado College State of the Rockies Report, researchers estimated that the Aspen Valley area can expect a 57% decrease in April 1 snowpack by 2085! This snowpack is essential for our drinking water and recreational snow. We all can do our part to stop the global warming trends. You have the power to reduce your electrical usage, reducing stress on our electrical grid and emitting fewer greenhouse gases. Thank you again for choosing Active Energies Solar LLC. Our goal is to save you money on your utility bills, while lessening impacts on our fragile environment. With this in mind, please let us know if there is any way we can better serve you.
