MEMORANDUM
To: William J. Gray, P.E, Superintendent of Public Works
Board of Public Works
From: Demise Bebmker, Energy Sustainability Project Manager
Date: April 17, 2012
Subject: Recommendation to Approve Solar Liberty Lease Program (solar PV)
In November 2011, the City of Ithaca (along with other local governments, businesses and
organizations) was approached by Solar Liberty with an offer to install solar PV (photovoltaic)
systems on City buildings, through a solar lease financing structure. The initial offer was reviewed
in the months that followed by the relevant City departments and staff, including the Attorney's
and Controller's office and Engineering. A result of that process, this memorandum provides a
recommendation for the Board of Public Works to approve the implementation of this project on
one or two selected buildings.
Solar Liberty, Inc. has been installing solar systems since 2005 and it launched its new `Solar
Liberty Lease Program" about one year ago. Through this program, a solar PV system of 25 kW
would be installed in one or more City buildings and leased to the City for a 15 year term, for a
fixed monthly lease fee. The City then benefits from the electricity production of the system (with
no up -front municipal expense), thus reducing energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions, in
addition to demonstrating its commitment to support renewable energy sources. Yearly cost
savings are guaranteed as part of the program
Included in the program are the following services: site plans of what the proposed system will
look like, structural analysis by a thud party engineer and drawings (stamped), interconnection
with the utility company, installation, maintenance of the system for the life of the lease, and all
paperwork involved.
Two buildings have been selected and qualified for implementation of this project: The Central
Fire Station and Ithaca Youth Bureau building. Following is a short description of the
selection criteria and specific proposal considerations:
The main requirements of the program are that 'the client" (in this case the City) owns the
building (or has a long term lease), and has a minimum electricity usage of 15, 000 kWh per
year. Additional considerations include the structural condition/stability of the building and the
electric utility rates paid.
Solar Liberty then looks at the building through satellite imagery to make sure the roof is large
enough to house the system — if the roof isn't able to fit the system, a ground mounted system
might be considered.
Buildings are qualified (or disqualified) depending on location, size, and electric usage. Once a
building is qualified, the company uses 30 years of average sunlight data, along with the tilt and
orientation of the system, to estimate what that specific system will produce. The production of
the system, combined with the building's current electric rate, will determine the system's
.savings on an annual basis.
An analysis performed by Taitem Engineering — as part of a "Renewables & Technical Services"
contract — shows that the City would have significantly higher costs and payback period if
installing such systems on its own.
Based on this information, I recommend approving and implementing this lease program in at
least one of the selected buildings, giving priority to Central Fire Station, for which greater
savings are expected.
For your convenience, please find attached Solar Liberty's proposal summary for both buildings,
as well as the following proposed contract documents:

approval from NYSERDA for any material modification of the proposed system or its components, or the
incentive may be revoked.
All potential system output losses (after all equipment loses am applied) associated with shading, system
orientation, tilt angle, etc. may not exceed 20% of optimal system output to receive the full incentive. Such
losses must be detailed in each application package using industry accepted shading and orientation tools,
verifiable assumptions and calculations. System with losses greater than 209/6 of optimal output due to shading
and orientation issues may be considered on a case -by -case basis. However, any available incentives for these
systems will be prorated by output loss. In cases where trees or any other obstruction must be removed or
moved in order to meet the program mles, incentive payments will not be made until the obstructions are
removed and a new shading analysis and photos have been submitted and reviewed by NYSERDA. Any trees
or obstructions must be clearly labeled in the site map.
Qualified Customers: Incentives arc available to electricity distribution customers of Central Hudson Gas &
Electric Corporation, Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., New York State Electric & Gas
Corporation, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. and Rochester Gas and
