Webinar: Case Studies of Solar-Plus-Storage Operations
Can you edit in a cover slide or some way to have a better image to start this webinar? I will send you a slide image if you need it. may follow the same engineering, procurement and construction practices as any community solar project. Yet, some aspects require special attention, from developing stakeholder input, to targeted siting, project design, financing and marketing. This factsheet offers ten annotated resources, with links, to help utilities create programs that cost-effectively deliver solar benefits to a wider range of utility customers, including low-income community members.

There is an overlap between strategic solar design, discussed on this web page, and the net-value and financing analysis that is ultimately needed, in order to quantify the benefits that a specific solar project or program will bring. The CSVP GAP Process is a streamlined approach to these analytics, focused specifically on internal utility decision-making about solar acquisitions. As such, it encourages planners to revise and optimize their solar designs and fleet plans. This abstract is a brief introduction to the CSVP GAP process, including how it helps optimize solar design. Readers will find more details in the Net Value Assessment & Pricing section (6) of this Solutions toolkit.
