Common Solar Myths…

• Solyndra means bankruptcy for the entire industry…• Different technology

which couldn’t compete

• My lights will go out if it’s cloudy!• 98% Grid – tied

• Solar is a fad…• FedEx, UPS, eBay, Hewlett

Packard Google, Apple and the U.S. Air Force

Nellis Air Force Base 14 MW!!!

America’s Greatest Resource!

Solar Saves Us All Money!• Energy prices are most expensive when demand is highest

June – September 2pm – 7pm

• Solar energy production is highest during these peak demand times

• Solar reduces customer demand for the utility’s peak (most expensive) power which makes energy less expensive for all ratepayers

Solar - We Will Lead!

The economics are in your favor, right now!

THE ECONOMICS

Solar - We Will Lead!

NEW NUKE IS GOING TO BE FAR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SOLAR . . . FOR FAR LONGER . . .

Nuclear Power is ‘Base Load’ delivered for approximately $.04 per kWh

Vogtle 3&4 - $14,000,000,000 – 2,200 MW – 10+ Years to Build
