The single most significant economic factor
driving adoption of solar utility initiatives is the prospect of carbon use
surcharges. As coal, gas, and oil usage are taxed to help prevent pollution
and stimulate use of renewable energy sources, solar energy becomes more
attractive to the utility grid electricity providers. The environmental
impact of energy use choices promises to be an ongoing factor in energy grid
supply. Large scale solar electric power plants are being developed and
planned worldwide as an alternative to fossil fuel, or nuclear power
generation. These large scale power plants (solar farms) are typically
greater than 100 kW in power output and grow in capacity to well over 1 MW.
Both Germany and Canada have announced solar farm power plants that will be
sized at 40 MW. PV module price decreases continue to drive the growth of
large scale solar farm development worldwide. The speed with which solar
system can be put in place by a utility company is a major factor in
deciding what kinds of systems to put up. Solar utility systems can be put
in place within six months. The ability to create an operational system in
six months instead of 20 years for nuclear systems is significant. Just the
cost of capital weighs heavily in favor of solar utility installations. The
advantage brought by having paying customers sooner is a major factor
supporting implementation of solar systems for generation of utility grid
electricity. Utility vendor electricity solar equipment markets at $10
billion in 2007 are anticipated to reach $78.7 billion by 2014. Growth is a
result of using utility electricity solar systems to power the grid. With
.3% of the grid powered by solar in 2007, huge growth is set to occur as 6%
of the grid power is anticipated to come from solar by 2014, with rapid
shifts to solar energy after that. This will come through massive trillion
dollar investments in grid capable solar energy systems that are financed
throughout the life of the solar installation. Adoption of solar energy
has a simple market driving force. If people do not adopt solar energy, the
planet will become unfit for human habitation. The fossil fuels are warming
the planet at an increasing rate that makes life unsustainable if something
does not change. Global warming drives solar markets. Solar is perceived as
the best, perhaps the only widespread solution to global warming. Every
large enterprise has adopted a social responsibility strategy that makes a
nod toward solving the issues of global warming and embraces renewable
energy. Every person in the world is aware of the problems that global
warming is bringing. Growth comes not only because solar power is the
cheapest power source which it will be in many cases, but because it
fulfills a variety of convenience needs, not the least of which is a way to
attack global warming. Every large enterprise has adopted a green strategy
in response to public demand for better energy solutions. SOLAR UTILITY
