For anyone interested in a more detailed explanation of the Oncor Solar Incentive calculations, after contacting Oncor and reviewing the Solar Program and TRM manuals the following is what I came up with. 1) The online estimator “kWh Savings” is the “Annual Energy Savings (kWh)” specified as per PVWatts. Thanks to Oncor’s Josh Emeter for confirming this. I did not check PVWatts myself. 2) The online estimator “kW Savings” is the “Deemed Summer Demand Savings” from the Texas Technical Reference Manual Volume 4: Measurement and Verification Protocols, section 2.3 (given as a% multiplier toconvert from the DC system size). 3) The 2020 incentive $/kW and $/kWh appear to be roughly 90% of the values given in the Oncor 2017 Solar Program Reference Manual (numbers which I gave earlier) = about $484.68/ “kW Savings” and $0.2267/“kWh Savings”, given that the kickoff says the incentive is decreasing approximately 10% across all projects, although I can’t find the actual 2020 numbers anywhere. I plan to ask Oncor to confirm this and for exact numbers, if available.
4) The total incentive approximately = “kW Savings”. $484.68 + “kWh Savings”.
$0.2267. For example, for my base case (numbers given earlier) the calculation comes out to $2084.11 + $3522.71 = $5606.82, which is $6.54 higher than the incentive calculator result of $5600.28. I also checked this by changing the Azimuth and Tilt to get some different Deemed Summer Demand Savings kW numbers from the TRM Table 2-33 for Climate Zone 2 Dallas, with results ranging from about 22% to59% and $3885 to $6154; all came out to between $5 & $7 higher than the incentive calculator results. Note: The Oncor 2020 Solar Program Manual references the TRM version 5.0, which is the 2018 version (2019 is version 7.0).I didn’t check for differences.

Oncor held its 2020 Solar Incentive program kickoff webinar Wed. 1/22/20 where they publicly announced details including program budgets and guidelines.The presentation pdf, webinar recording, program manuals, and other references are available for download from their Energy Efficiency Contractor Portal (EEPM) website. These are targeted to their service providers & other industry participantsbut are available to everyone.A) HIGHLIGHTS:Residential and commercial programs open for projects starting Feb. 3 at 10 am CST. Program closes Nov. All projects must be submitted for inspection by close of business.1) The residential budgets is down significantly, which was presented as the best the solar team could get, considering that they are in somewhat in competition with other energy efficiency programs in a limited overall budget:Residential Budget $1,163,950, Commercial Budget $2,038,4402) The incentive amounts decreased approximately 10% from where they have been for the last 3 years.The actual incentive is calculated by EEPM based on system details, with an online calculator available for estimation purposes.
This includes what I call a “value of solar factor” which takes into account how the system solar production aligns with overallpeak demand. James,Thank you for writing about the ONCOR incentives.We are looking at getting solar installed this year but are not ready yet.However, we have received one quote of a 11.05kW system. They included the ONCOR incentive as a reason to hurry because it may be gone or they will fill their quota. The interesting part is that they quoted over 10kW which may not be eligible.As we go forward I’ll look closer into the final design to see what it might cost and how to proceed and see if we can get anything back from ONCOR.Robert Lagerblad. Hello Robert, You raise an excellent point, and one that's likely to cause confusion among the public. Oncor's system size limit for incentive funding this year is based on the output power rating of the inverter - which as you noted is 10,000 watts (10 kW). A system can have more than 10 kW of solar panels and still remains eligible, as long as the inverter power doesn't exceed 10 kW.
Most systems have more wattage installed in the solar panels than the inverter's rating because solar panel output power is affected by temperature, and goes down the hotter it gets. During the summer, solar panel output power may be as much as 20% or more below the solar panel's label rating. Typically, systems are designed with 110% to 125% more solar panel power rating than the inverter power rating. This isn't harmful to the inverter.
All Inverters that conform to the Underwriters Laboratory Safety Standards have a circuit that prevents them from generating more output power than they're rated to produce. (For notes, the only time solar panels produce their rated output is when it's -5C (23F) or colder, it's a very clear day, and the sun and solar panel are perfectly perpendicular to each other.) As long as the inverter power is 10,000 watts or less.
Your residential system will be eligible for Oncor incentive funding. (As long as there's money left in the fund. It runs out every year.) Dan. Hello Robert, Actually. Inverter output power tolerance is very tightly regulated, whether it's a microinverter.
Or a very large inverter. 1% tolerance is a common value. Thus, a microinverter rated say 300 watts output will generate 300 watts, plus or minus 3 watts.
This is the case regardless of the input power available to the inverter. Inverters won't generate more than their specified output. This is requirement in the Safety Standards all grid-interactive inverters are required to meet.
Oncor's incentive funds are released for a system after it's fully installed, and has been verified by Oncor as meeting all of their requirements. To that end, cities conduct an on-site inspection to confirm the system was built according to the plans submitted by the contractor for a building permit. In turn, Oncor conducts their own inspection to ensure the system is installed with solar panels in the direction(s), tilt, and quantity, as well as the make, model and quantity of inverter(s) shown in the plans the contractor provided to Oncor for the system to be eligible for incentive $. The key is '.when the money runs out!' Truth be told Robert, the demand for these Oncor incentives is sogreat that even if you apply with a complete 100% compliantcontract with an Oncor certified installer, it is unlikely you willget your system approved and money in your pocket in 2020.Since there is, of course, a cap on the dollars available fromOncor.
But the waiting list is already so long that, literally, atthe hour that the money is released by Oncor the full amount will be100% committed. Granted there are always a certain number ofqualified systems that, for one reason or another, will not befinished and will not receive the incentive amount. However thosenext qualified in line will be called up and put on the list andhopefully will be completed before the payout deadline.But don't give up, if you don't commit and complete all the steps toqualify with Oncors rules you will never get the incentive payment.And so it's very important that you choose your installer carefully.Make sure that THEY understand the rules. You don't want to miss outon the 'free money' because the installer made a mistake or didn'tknow what what they were supposed to do.Good luck.Jim DuncanNorth Texas solar installer since 2004 - RetiredOnMonday, January 27, 2020, 8:47:00 AM CST, Robertwrote. Responses from Oncor’s Josh Emeter to questions about program status and influence of choice of installer: 1) A large portion of the funds is exhausted but like you know, we encourage the continuous submission of projects and getting on the incentive waitlist in the event extra funds are added by management later on in the year. 2) There is no mechanism of who gets precedence as an installer.
To be in our program, you have to be a good and credible solar installer. If we deem an installer as a bad match for our program based on customer complaints and consistent poor inspection results, we would eliminate them from the program. The installers that act the fastest to submit projects (which can depend on the customer’s readiness to have documents need ready) and the installers that have the necessary documents and tools ready (example, shading analysis tool) usually get the most incentives. If an installer has a few projects but is slow to submit them, then it does not matter how large of a number of projects an installer has in their backlog.
Easter is the biggest holiday for us to celebrate with kids because it has the greatest meaning for our faith! In Week 1, we will celebrate Palm Sunday and help prepare kids’ hearts for Easter as they learn that Jesus came to show love to us all. In Week 2, we will celebrate Easter in an “Egg-stravagant” way, making sure kids have fun at church learning that “Jesus Is Alive.” He is the whole reason we get to have so much fun on this holiday!You'll find videos, songs, leader guides, and prep materials below.Special thanks to the KidsSpring ministry at NewSpring Church for providing these resources.
NewSpring is passionate about creating curriculum that teaches kids the Bible in creative, age-appropriate, and relevant ways.
