CPUC’s California Solar Initiative – October Staff Progress Report
By the California Public Commission’s Energy Division Staff. October 2009.
The California Public Utilities Commission’s California Solar Initiative (CSI) team issued its October Staff Progress Report on October 21, 2009. Highlights of the report include:
- The California Solar Initiative (CSI) Program has reached 257 megawatt (MW) of installed solar at 21,159 sites since 2007.
- California has reached a cumulative 509 MW of installed solar at 52,714 sites (which includes sites installed prior to the start of CSI in 2007).
- The report focuses on Q3 2009 in which the CSI Program saw record high demand for new solar applications, including over 2,200 program applications in the month of August alone.
- Small solar systems prices declined 9 percent and large system prices declined by 13 percent since the same quarter last year.
- In addition to the CSI general market incentive program, all other CSI Program components continue to make key progress towards goals, including the CSI Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D), and the CSI Solar Water Heating Pilot Program (SWHPP). as well as the two affordable housing programs – CSI’s Single-family Affordable Solar Homes (SASH) and CSI Multifamily Affordable Solar Housing (MASH).
