It does not look like there will be any Major improvement until 2020

Just to power all the TV’s, iPods, PC’s, phones and other gadgets by 2030 Have to build around 200 new nuclear power plants. The global electric bill to power them will rise to $200

billion a year. Source: US Department of Energy


Renewable energy is expanding rapidly but still accounts for only about 13% (including Hydro, ~7%) of U.S. electricity generation

This is a fraction of its total potential.

Why Renewable Energies Germany is generating 74% of its power from Renewable

Energy, and has far fewer resources than the United States.

Denmark has a goal of providing 100% of its Power from Renewable Energy by 2050. The goal of 200 MW of Photovoltaics by 2020 was reached eight years earlier in 2012 and accomplished it while growing its economy by 80 percent.

If we pursue smart energy solutions here in America, clean energy could reliably provide up to 40 percent of U.S. electricity needs by 2030.

According to reports from the World Health Organization in 2008 and by environmental groups in 2004, particulates and pollution from coal production shorten approximately 1,000,000 lives every year around the world.

Cost of Energy


17 Based on 2007 study

One Ton of coal @ $36.00/ton produces 6182 KWH $0.01/KWH

One Barrel of oil @ $70.00/barrel produces 1700 KWH $0.05/KWH

One Cubic of gas @ $0.008/cubic produces 0.3 KWH $0.03/KWH

5 KW @ $45000.00 (Assumes 20 years life, 90% efficiency, 10 W/ft2, $8.95/W, & 3.6 PSH) 0.38/KWH

Today’s cost for a 5KW system is less than $20,000.00 5 X 0.8 X 3.6 X 365 X 20 = 105120 KWH/Life 20000 / 105120 = 0.19 /KWH If you consider, PSH of 5.6 for California and life of 25-30 years the cost will be much lower

a source of energy, solar power is a job-creating powerhouse. Money invested in solar power creates two to three times more jobs than money invested in coal or natural gas.

Photovoltaic Program at PCC Program development started in late 2008 Approved by NABCEB (North American Board of Certified

Energy Practitioners) in 2009. Among the first few colleges in California to be NABCEP

approved and #165 in the Nation First course in the program was offered in Fall of 2009 Original plan was to develop the program only for NABCEP.

But we realized we can do more than the minimum NABCEP requirement. Specially in NEC and hands-on experiment

Enrolment was very good first few years Recently, it has dropped by 50%

The NABCEP Entry Level Program is designed for those individuals wanting to get into the solar field; achievement of the NABCEP Entry Level Exam is a way for candidates to demonstrate that they have achieved a basic knowledge of the fundamental principles of the application, design, installation and operation of PV and Solar Heating systems. Upon successful completion of coursework offered by a registered NABCEP Entry Level Exam Provider, a student is eligible to sit for one of the Entry Level Exams. Prior to taking the NABCEP PV or Solar Heating Entry Level Exam, students should have demonstrated a basic understanding of the principles outlined in the Learning Objectives. See: www.nabcep.org
