PV systems that utilize the existing open areas and building rooftops are cost effective as they use existing terrain with other advantages such as: Add significant MW of renewable energy to national grid Educate the public on the need and practical use of “citizens” land. Form Strategic Alliances and partnerships with vendors, manufacturers, construction companies and distributors Can provide emergency “local/regional grids” that could provide for: Municipal, state or county power needs Emergency hospital power (triage stations) Emergency radio power for pubic awareness of any disrupting event Homeland Security support SSEC CORE COMPETENCIES: Supply Chain Management and Logistics Product Lifecycle Management Project Planning Defining Deliverables Operations Management Project Management System Design System Development System Engineering Assembly in Free Trade Zone Lean Six Sigma Certified techniques employed for quality improvement, efficiency and faster deployment and lower cost Systems Testing and Evaluation Delivery Deployment Maintenance and Customer Support SSEC CLIENT VALUE APPROACH: Align Solution to client goals and objectives Evaluate SSEC’s analysis tools including the use of Google Earth to “map” (sun angles, shadowing, embankments, etc.) for suitable PV sites OR Wind Turbine sites. Evaluate these computer mapped sites versus man-surveyed sites for practical method development Evaluate active vs passive sun tracking system, and provide comparison to client Map appropriate sites as to assess quantity of PV power versus cost Compare results and define a proposed approach in concert with state and federal agencies for other areas in CA, and globally Generate ROI Return On Investment Analyses and provide to client
