<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Environmental Initiatives Committee <br /> Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />DATE: Monday, June 25, 2007 <br /> TIME: 7:30 p.m. <br /> LOCATION: 26379 Fremont Road <br /> Los Altos Hills <br /> Town Hall <br /> <br />1. Call to Order, Roll Call <br /> <br />Attendees: Jay Shideler, Mark Jensen, Breene Kerr, John Harpootlian, Walt Wilson, Peter Evans <br />Guests: John LeFebvre, Solar City <br />Rick Ellinger, EOC <br /> <br />2. LAH Solar Expansion Site Tour (Solar City) <br /> <br />The committee toured the town hall’s new tracking PV system, which is now operational. In addition to <br />providing clean energy for the town hall, this installation provides an opportunity for side-by-side <br />performance comparison of rooftop, fixed pole-mount, and tracking PV systems. <br /> <br />3. LAH Solar Expansion Monitoring (Solar City) <br /> <br />Updating the data logger to distinguish production from among the three inverters (roof, fixed, tracking) <br />will cost about $1,000. The committee agrees this is a key functionality. This is part of the SolarCity scope. <br />The EIC also supports the capability of a website that will make logged data available and queryable. This <br />should include logs of individual inverter production, weather data, building consumption data, some basic <br />analysis (e.g. fixed vs. tracking comparison, PV production under different weather conditions, share of <br />building consumption). Snow Technologies of Los Altos has provided a quote for part of this work. Breene <br />estimates the cost will total about $4,000 and can be funded from contingency. <br /> <br /> <br />4. Solar Community Discount Proposal (Solar City) <br /> <br />SolarCity presented their proposed community discount program for Los Altos and Los Altos Hills. They <br />propose a $.50/Watt discount if the total orders from the combined communities during a defined 3-4 <br />month period exceed 175 kW. This program is comparable to successful programs in Woodside, Portola
