3 State of NYC Solar PV During Recovery Solar in affected area in 2012: 5,500 kw 281 installations Nearly 50% of NYC installations Estimated untapped solar energy per day after the storm: 6,500 kwh Solar in affected area in 2015: 15,500 kw 1,571 installations Solar arrays in NYC with daylight emergency power plug via SMA inverter in 2015: 177

4 Growing Markets for Solar and Batteries New York State solar Installations have grown 1000% since 2011 Energy storage deployments are increasing while battery costs are declining City and State targets around increasing renewables NYC: 100 MWh battery storage by 2020 Like solar, batteries are encountering soft cost challenges Storage Costs Soft Costs Hardware Costs Solar Costs Soft Costs Hardware Costs Sources: Rocky Mountain Institute SIMPLE Project, DG Hub Cost Survey, NYSERDA PV- SUN Data and NYSolarmap.com

11 Roadmap Structure Hardware Solutions Barriers Context Barriers Solutions

12 Modules: Overview Hardware o Components and Design Considerations o Case Studies: Emerging Storage Use Cases, Resilient Energy Options and Feasibility o Barriers & Solutions Economics o Incentives and Cost Improvements o Case Study: Incentives in CA and Germany o Barriers & Solutions o Showcase: New York Solar Map Resiliency Calculator Software o Use cases and applications o Case Study: Interoperability Challenges for Retrofits o Barriers & Solutions Policy o Regional activities and opportunities o Case Studies: Peak demand reduction grants in Massachusetts, Con Edison and NYSERDA s Support for NYC s Storage Market o Barriers & Solutions

13 Barriers & Solutions: Hardware Hardware Solution Barrier - Release Practitioner Installation Experience Best Practices Solutions Publicize Installation Best Practices Online resources concerning the relevant federal, state, and local safety and fire codes and standards should be made available to installers and residents. For example, the County of Santa Clara, CA Implementation Partners Manufacturers NYC DOB Industry Associations Municipal Officials PV Trainers Network Smart DG Hub

14 Barriers & Solutions: Software Software Barrier Interoperability Challenges Solution Finalize and Incorporate Industry Standards Currently, no standardized open protocols exist. Different industry groups are currently working on creating communication standardizations for system components and grid wide connectivity. Disseminating ongoing protocol developments by MESA, SIWG, the SunSpec Alliance, and NREL will aid energy storage s ability to communicate with the grid and between system components Implementation Partners SunSpec Alliance MESA NREL Smart Inverter Working Group (SIWG) Industry Associations Smart DG Hub

15 Barriers & Solutions: Economics Economics Barrier Valuing Resiliency Solution Quantification of Value There have been ongoing efforts to quantify the value of resilient power through the Smart DG Hub and the New York Prize program for microgrids. The DG Hub will be working to develop a methodology and/or tool that quantifies the loss avoidance mechanism offered by resilient power projects Implementation Partners NY Prize Smart DG Hub City of San Francisco SMP Team FEMA NYSERDA DER Industry Insurance Industry

16 Barriers & Solutions: Policy Policy Barrier Permitting Processes Solution Streamline Permitting Processes Processes for solar+storage should be investigated that expedite review periods, encourage consistency in permitting requirements across the state, and account for projected increases in permitting throughput Implementation Partners NYC DOB FDNY Smart DG Hub NYSERDA NY-Best NYS AHJs NYC Solar Partnership
