In FY 2004, MSR developed several analytical pieces based on value-proposition analyses. • At the request of the Solar Energy Industries Association, MSR commenced development of economic analysis briefs specific to each state. The briefs examine the sample costs and benefits of residential solar energy systems, taking into account each state’s unique energy costs, tax structures, and financial incentives. • Responding to a TA request from a utility partner developing a solar rebate program, MSR analyzed the impact on break-even turnkey costs of a number of rebate scenarios. • To help state policy makers assess policy options for accelerating marketplace adoption of solar technologies, MSR started development of an “Economic Development Databank.” • Responding to a question from MSR Partnerships, the MSR technical team researched and responded to a question regarding whether solar residential rebates and grants for homeowners and businesses are taxable by the Federal government as income. (The answer is “no”—rebates and grants are not taxable as income.) 3.2 Accomplishments Resulting from Grants and Outreach In addition to providing technical assistance, MSR provides small, competitively awarded grants of up to $50,000 to its State and Local Partnerships. In FY 2003, we estimate that the $1.5 million in MSR-awarded grants leveraged almost $7 million in non-Federal monetary resources. This does not include the many and varied in-kind commitments of MSR’s 822 participants. DOE’s funding for activities also complemented more than $100 million of state and utility incentives. Following are a few examples of resources leveraged during the past year. • Nevada leveraged “No Child Left Behind” funding and the its Green Power program to introduce solar education into professional development for middle school teachers. • The Florida SunSmart Partnership leveraged almost $2 million from state government programs. • New Jersey’s MSR activities have complemented its RPS and state funds, which provided rebates totaling $5 million this past year. State and Local Partnerships use their grant funding to undertake actions to address barriers that make if difficult for solar technologies to penetrate the established energy market. The following are a few examples of their accomplishments made with MSR grant funding in the past year. • The Kentucky Partnership supported passage of a net metering bill this year. • The Bay Area Solar Consortium addressed precertification of several solar system designs with the California State Architect, for ease of adoption by schools. • The Oahu Partnership continued a successful relationship with the military, which resulted in the installation of solar on military housing units. • The Washington State Partnership helped 10 Pacific Northwest Public Utility Districts to adopt solar green power incentive programs based on the successful Chelan County SNAP program. • New York State Energy Research and Development Authority is developing accredited PV installer training programs and institutions, and is helping installers obtain certification from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners. As a major part of DOE’s solar deployment activities, MSR actively seeks opportunities to move solar technologies into new market areas. In the recent past, MSR has worked with its Partnerships to make inroads into the residential housing market, as exemplified by MSR’s San Diego Partnership and its work with Shea Homes. This past year, MSR funded NREL to conduct a study involving Bell South, Verizon, and Emerson to explore potential applications for solar in the telecommunications industry; the study is a first step in an effort that could result in solar on thousands of switching stations across the country.
