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 />
