SOLAR DESIGN I BUILD
In response to revised scope emailed to Sunsense on August 25th, 2015:
Phase 1 Work—Site by Site:
Evaluate each site presented and select those with potential:
Sunsense is willing to dedicate staff hours to remotely assessing each of the sites listed by Pitkin
County and the City of Aspen in order to short list the sites that should be evaluated for solar. This
will involve looking at each site using satellite imagery.
• Analyze power consumption of each selected site and subsequent economics
• Estimate PV system potential of selected sites
• Potential system type
• High level estimate for design and implementation
• Assess construction challenges and interconnection strategies
For each short listed site the Sunsense commercial team will provide the following services:
• Site visit: Assess site and potential solar locations, assess roof, collect information regarding
electrical distribution and interconnection,take measurements if necessary.
• Technical: Estimate potential system size,production and cost.
• Documentation: Provide a brief report with an overview of the site,recommendation for
system mounting type, an estimate on system size,percentage offset of the energy use of the
building and the estimated capital cost to build.
For each site we anticipate 10 hours of work at $95 per hour. Per Site Cost = $950
Overall:
• Financing Options and Partnership Report
• Net Zero Recommendation
• Comparison of Public/Private partnership
This aspect of the work is much more open ended and really lends itself to a consulting contract
approach. We believe that this portion of the work will need to start with a conversation with Pitkin
County and City of Aspen representatives to understand the motivations, objectives and goals and
any existing ideas or requirements on how to get to the desired result.
Sunsense Solar has extensive experience in the various aspects of developing off site centralized
community solar arrays and can provide expertise in the areas of technical, logistical and financial
considerations.
We propose an initial consulting contract with a range of 10—40 hours at$95/hour. The contract
could start with an initial 10 hours at$950 with the capacity to bill up to 40 hours or$3,800
depending on the work required and the budget available.
