At SPP we know how to support our customers whether they be dealers, contractors, architects, or home owners. SPP is responsible for some of the USA's largest solar thermal projects and PV projects for all sorts of military, multi-family, government, and educational facilities. SPP has provided hundreds of megawatts of electric power and thousands of megawatts of thermal energy. In addition to larger projects, SPP has provided countless residential solar water heater and home solar PV solutions.
The Oregon legislature passed a law in 2009 establishing a new solar incentive option (feed-in tariff). Oregon customers of Portland General Electric, Pacific Power and Idaho Power can apply to be part of the program as capacity is available; however, a solar electric system installed through the feed-in tariff does not qualify for an Energy Trust incentive. A feed-in tariff is an incentive program in which the electric utility pays the owner of a solar electric system a fixed premium rate for every renewable kilowatt-hour generated over a period of time. Those payments allow the owner to recoup their investment over time. This model has been used successfully in Germany.
Solar energy technologies, which harness the sun’s energy to generate electrical power, represent some of the fastest growing sources of renewable energy on the market today. Engineers and scientists worldwide are collaborating to lower the material costs of solar cells, increase the production efficiency of solar power plants, and create innovative solutions for applications based on photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal collector technology. National Instruments offers a complete platform of tools and technologies that facilitate and increase the productivity of these efforts.
