generally low maintenance. An analysis of the performance of the rooftop array conducted in 2006 revealed no noticeable degradation in solar performance from this system compared to its first five years of operation.6 As a result of Ohio’s renewable energy portfolio standards, the value of Ohio-based RECs associated with PV systems recently increased by a factor of 10. If the panels continue to perform and the economic value of solar energy continues to rise, it is possible that the financial investment as well as the environmental investment in PV technology will have a positive return. From an energy perspective, the project demonstrates that even in sun-challenged northeast Ohio, it is possible to export energy in a commercial building.
