Performing Organization: Key Technical Contact: DOE HQ Technology Manager: FY 2005 Budget: Town of Yucca Valley, California David Munro, Senior Management Analyst, 760-369-7207, dmunro@yucca-valley.org Dan Ton, 202-586-4618, dan.ton@ee.doe.gov Solar Energy Project in Yucca Valley, California $245K (DOE), $248K (Yucca Valley cost share) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Objectives • Demonstrate the feasibility of local government using PV systems to provide clean electricity and cut electric utility bills. • Install 55-kW PV system on the town hall/library roof and a 20-kW PV system in the parking lot of the community development/public works compound. Accomplishments • Award was issued in September 2005. Future Directions • Design the PV systems, apply for grid connection, select a contractor, and install the systems. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Introduction Located in the Southwestern corner of the Mojave Desert and shielded by windward mountain ranges, the Yucca Valley area receives over 320 days of sunshine per year, making it a prime location for use of solar energy. Installation of a PV system on the civic center will reduce energy consumption and provide significant benefits to the environment. The center uses 140,000 kWh per year, costing $52,000 in electricity consumption. 2. Technical Approach and Planned FY 2006 Activities Yucca Valley will install two PV systems totaling 75 kW at its town civic center and community development/public works compound. The tasks for each project are identical; both projects will follow the same process for completion. Task 1: Prepare Bid Documents. Prepare a set of design/build specifications and bid documents with some assistance from a consulting engineer and advertise for bids. The town will obtain bids from PV system retailers and installation contractors for the purchase and installation of the PV system. At the conclusion of this task, design/build specifications will be completed and project will be advertised for bids. Task 2: Award of Bid. A review and ranking by town staff of bid proposals will be submitted and a recommendation of award will be forwarded to the town council, which awards the bid. Task 3: Application for Interconnection. Town staff will fill out an application for interconnection to the grid and submit it to Southern California Edison for approval. Interconnection agreement is approved. Task 4: Preliminary and Final Design. The selected contractor will perform preliminary analysis of the proposed PV system and provide a preliminary design report. After review and approval by town staff, a final design report will be prepared. This will be the basis for development of design drawings and final specifications. This task will determine the required components for the PV system, the roof array layout, electrical details, and interconnection details. Bid-ready plans and specifications will be complete at the conclusion of this task and will be utilized for procurement and installation. Task 5: System Installation. Contractor will begin installation of the PV system as shown on the completed plans and specifications. A functioning PV system, complete and in place, should be accomplished at the end of this task.
