Going solar in Warm Springs
A south-facing solar system in Warm Springs produces about 1,412 kWh per installed kW each year, according to NREL's PVWatts model. A home using about 11,000 kWh a year needs roughly 7.8 kW (19 panels) here, and a 7.5 kW system offsets about $1,800 of Pacific Power energy charges in its first year.
Warm Springs sees abundant high-desert sun, so solar is a strong way to lock in low long-term energy costs for homes and community facilities.
High-desert sun and cold, clear winters are close to ideal for solar: panels run more efficiently in cold air, and snow slides off tilted modules within a day or two of a storm. Racking and attachments are specified for local snow loads.
Pacific Power is the main utility in Central Oregon (Bend, Redmond, Prineville, Madras), Southern Oregon, much of the coast and parts of the mid-valley. Its Wattsmart Battery program pays customers who let the utility draw on their home battery during peak events.
