Table C-3: Size of RE Solutions (with and without incentives)<br />

Without<br />

Tax Incentives<br />

With<br />

Tax Incentives<br />

Skylight Area (sf) 190,951 209,666<br />

Wind Energy (kW) 2,491 3,689<br />

Solar Ventilation Air Preheat (sf) 93,265 119,652<br />

Solar Water Heating (sf) 28,464 90,703<br />

Biomass Gasification Boiler (MBH) 1.3 1.8<br />

Biomass Gasification Cogen (kW) 134 193<br />

PV (kW) 0 737<br />

Biomass Anaerobic Digester (ft 3 ), Biomass Anaerobic Digester Cogen (kW),<br />

Solar Thermal Electric, and Solar Thermal Parabolic Trough technologies were<br />

not found to be cost-effective at any LPOE sites even with incentives. PV was<br />

cost effective at 3 sites when incentives were considered:<br />

• San Ysidro, CA (467 kW),<br />

• Otay Mesa, CA (217 kW), and<br />

• Tecate, CA (52 kW).<br />

The resultant table is not included here as the preponderance of entries show PV<br />

as not cost effective given the evaluation criteria.<br />

Note that each technology is recommended as part of the optimized solution for a<br />

site, and these sizes minimize life-cycle costs. In other words, it is possible for<br />

an LPOE site to cost effectively generate more RE than the optimized solution<br />

indicates, but the life cycle costs would be higher.<br />
